Metro Atlanta MMPT…
John Lewis, Kasim Reed Featured Speakers at Monday Event To
Mark Beginning of Atlanta Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal Project

U. S. Representative John Lewis and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed will join Georgia Department of Transportation officials at a 10 a.m., Monday, Oct. 31, event atop the CNN Parking Deck at 30 Spring Street (across from Philips Arena) to celebrate the signing of a master development agreement for the design and construction of a Multi-Modal Passenger Terminal (MMPT) in the adjacent, under-utilized “gulch” area.

Congressman Lewis, Mayor Reed and State Transportation Board Intermodal Chairperson Dana Lemon will make brief comments and also conduct a media Q&A session.

Television trucks with masts must enter the parking deck via its Spring Street entrance; Centennial Olympic Park Drive does not have needed vertical clearance. Media trucks should arrive no sooner than 9:30 a.m.; you will be directed to event staging area. Television media wishing to stay and broadcast live for noon news will need to move to another location in the Gulch.
