Renew Atlanta seeks input on projects

- PAMELA MILLER FOR THE AJC

The funds for the Renew Atlanta/TSPLOST projects have fallen short of expectatio­ns, and the city is prioritizi­ng which projects will get funded and which will get the ax, according to a news release.

The city performed an initial survey to gauge interest in three scenarios:

■ Complete Streets: funding for complete street project implementa­tion and designs

■ Foundation­al Investment­s: funding roadway repaving and core signal improvemen­ts

■ Max Leveraged Funding: funding projects that maximize leveraged funding to get “bang for the buck”

Results from the initial survey leaned heavily toward Complete Streets.

There’s a new survey to get feedback on the latest trimmed down project list for Renew Atlanta bond and TSPLOST programs. It is available through Friday at this web address: surveymonk­ey.com/ r/5H7P36G

Civic groups are encouragin­g residents to get involved with this process. Funds have been set aside for city renovation projects and the three scenarios have significan­t variations.

The Renew Atlanta and TSPLOST programs were launched in 2015 and 2016 to address an infrastruc­ture backlog of more than $1 billion facing the city.

The final project list is supposed to be set for approval in April.
