Commenters highlighted the need for continued coordination between GDOT…
After initiating project coordination with Fulton County Schools in 2018, Fulton County Schools invited GDOT to present information to Sandy Springs parents on GDOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program and the SR 400 Express Lanes project. During the presentations, information was shared including: an overview of the Georgia Express Lanes network, an overview of the stakeholder coordination done to date, a proposed project schedule, and a high-level, proposed project concept including typical sections. Although the project was early in concept development and data gathering, GDOT wanted to share the overall project vision and need and purpose. Opportunities for public comments were highlighted, including the Public Information Open Houses which were held in February and March 2019. A copy of the full presentation and handouts may be viewed here. Fulton County Schools collected comments at these meetings which were subsequently shared with GDOT. GDOT submitted responses to Fulton County Schools on February 27, 2019. These responses are posted and can be reviewed on Fulton County Schools’ website. In addition, at the Public Information Open Houses, GDOT specifically made potential school impact information available to all attendees.
