MARTA Seeks Public Feedback About Atlanta Streetcar’s East Extension Project

Heather Alhadeff, assistant general manager for planning for MARTA, says more than 250 people attended a virtual meeting to hear the transit agency’s plans about extending the Atlanta Streetcar.

Alhadeff, a guest on Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” told show host Rose Scott that the east extension project is slated to be completed by 2027.

The $149 million project will extend the Atlanta Streetcar between Edgewood Avenue and south of Ponce de Leon Avenue onto the BeltLine.
