The MARTA board of directors will be voting on two key regional transit projects on Monday afternoon.

MARTA Spokesman Lyle Harris tells WSB the public is invited to attend the meeting and have input on the plans aimed at enhancing transit mobility in the metro Atlanta region.

Harris says the first plan to be discussed is the Clifton Corridor.

"It will be 8.8 miles of a light rail transit system that would run from Lindbergh Center Station to the Avondale MARTA Station.  It would pass through a very heavily populated and very heavily traveled and very congested area, going through the CDC-Emory area, along Scott Boulevard, North Decatur Road, DeKalb Industrial Way and North Arcadia Avenue," said Harris.

The second project is the I-20 East LPA.  Harris says it would take some of the traffic from the Indian Creek Station.

"It would take a heavy-rail transit line, just like the one that runs out to Indian Creek.  It would go south, parallel along 285 and extend east along I-20 to the Mall at Stone Crest in eastern DeKalb County  Inside the perimeter, there would be a bus rapid transit line, sort of like express bus service that would operate along I-20 and along some of the surface streets along that corridor.  That would have several stops along the way," said Harris.

Harris says none of these plans are set in stone and they are still years away.   

"You have to do an environmental impact statement.  You have to do more public outreach to make sure that what we're proposing is what the public wants, you have to do feasibility studies to make sure you have the funding in place.  So, that's gonna take several more years but this is an important step in and an important milestone in both of these projects," said Harris.

The meeting begins at 1:30 and will be held at MARTA headquarters.
