The Connect Atlanta Plan: ghost-written by you

ABC is committed to serving on both the Technical Advisory Committee and the Stakeholder Committee for the Connect Atlanta Plan because we believe public participation, while sometimes tricky, is the key to a transportation plan with the integrity to move us beyond the roads versus bikes debate (as if there were really a debate...)

What do we hope to accomplish? Well, for starters, a Bike Plan that gets respect from neighborhoods, cyclists, and elected officials.

You can help make that happen -- here are a few ways:

• Have 5 minutes? Take the survey
• Have 20 minutes? View the visioning presentation and talk it up over the water cooler.
• Have 30 minutes to spare for our shared transportation future? Attend a workshop. Sessions started the week of February 11th and are set up to be convenient for anyone to attend. Spread out over three days each, the workshops run from 10 am to 8 pm each day.
