Successful Walkabout with MARTA's GM, Dr. Beverly Scott
Two weeks ago ADNA and District 2 City Council Member Kwanza Hall participated in a Broad Street and Five Points fact-finding "walkabout" with MARTA's new GM, Dr. Beverly Scott. Richard Hooker, Matt Jordan, Stuart Jackson, Vanessa Raye, Nellie Grant and other residents spent part of the afternoon showing Dr. Scott around their neighborhood. Shared concerns were noted and, overall, a positive impact is on the horizon. One noticeable improvement includes removal of the bus stop shelter that blocks visibility into Broad Street Plaza in front of McDonalds. Thank you MARTA!

Although as of Wednesday the results were unofficial, we believe we are on the road to having this critical developmental tool back on track. Thanks to everyone who supported and campaigned for this, especially those in downtown Atlanta. Its approval gives
back to local schools boards the right to participate in Tax Allocation
