Honorable Jack Summers, Chairman
Public Works Committee Number 1
Board of Aldermen ;
City of Atlanta

City Hail

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Alderman Summers:

The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads has requested that the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen concur in the State Highway Department
of Georgia recommended location of Interstate Route 485 (1-485),
Line "B",

You are well aware of all the arguments in support of and in
opposition to the location of this road along the route recommended
as well as other routes which were thoroughly investigated and
considered.

I am confident the Highway Department concerned itself not only
with the engineering requisites, but with all the other factors
to minimize residential dislocation and community disorganization,

The City of Atlanta cannot afford further delay in seeing this project
started. Besides the critical need of [1-485 for the relief of north-
side Atlanta traffic congestion, the approval of several other

major highway projects for the benefit of Atlanta motorists is
contingent upon the construction of 1-485.

The construction of that portion of F-056 from the northern limits
of 1-485 near Marian Road to the junction of the Appalachian
Developmental Highway at the Circumferential Route (1-285) is
directly dependent upon the approval of 1-485. If approval is not

gained on the above numbered project, this section would probably
lose Federal Participation and revert to the local governmental
bodies to complete. There would be some question as to whether
F-056 south of 1-485 would ever be constructed, particularly the
section within the Circumferential Route (1-285), if 1-485 is not
approved, :

The improvement of the Northeast Freeway (I-85) which consists of
widening to six lanes from the interchange with I-485 near Cheshire
Bridge Road to the Circumferential Route (I-285) would be long
delayed if not stoppt = entirely if I-485 is not approved.

The possibility of F-120, the easterly extension of Lakewood
Avenue, becoming a traveling reality is dependent upon the
approval of 1-485,

I, therefore, recommend that the Board of Aldermen adopt the
attached resolution concurring in Line 'B" of 1-485 and that

we urge the State Highway Department to give top priority to its
completion,

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor

Dear Mr. Moore:

A Housing Resources Committee is being established in Atlanta to

work closely with and as an adjunct to the Mayor's Office in a

special effort to provide through private enterprise, non-profit
organizations and public housing sufficient housing units for all ‘
those in low and medium income brackets in Atlanta to be housed

in decent, safe and sanitary housing and to eliminate existing

slums in our city.

Sub=-committees of the Housing Resources Committee will soon be
appointed in various fields of endeavor to serve on the Committee
for accomplishing this momentous objective.

You have been nominated to serve with several others on the
Public Information Sub-Committee, It is anticipated that at its
first meeting each Sub-Committee will elect its own Chairman,

. who will also be the Sub-Committee's representative on the
Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee as a whole.

It is also expected that each Sub-Committee, in addition to
supplying "know how" in its particular field, will also be
influential at all levels to gain acceptance for and promotion

of the program and would select at least two young men from

firms which can afford to devote part of their time for intensive
work with the Sub-Committee,

It would also be helpful if each Sub-Committee could form an
advisory panel of people active in the field of housing who would
Mr. Moore

remain free to pursue their active business without conflict of
interests.

We hope that you will be able to serve on this Sub-Committee.
Please advise Col, Malcolm Jones (telephone 522-4463, Ext. 432

City Hail

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Alderman Summers:

The U. S. Bureau of Public Roads has requested that the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen concur in the State Highway Department
of Georgia recommended location of Interstate Route 485 (1-485),
Line "B",

You are well aware of all the arguments in support of and in
opposition to the location of this road along the route recommended
as well as other routes which were thoroughly investigated and
considered.

I am confident the Highway Department concerned itself not only
with the engineering requisites, but with all the other factors
to minimize residential dislocation and community disorganization,

The City of Atlanta cannot afford further delay in seeing this project
started. Besides the critical need of [1-485 for the relief of north-
side Atlanta traffic congestion, the approval of several other

major highway projects for the benefit of Atlanta motorists is
contingent upon the construction of 1-485.

The construction of that portion of F-056 from the northern limits
of 1-485 near Marian Road to the junction of the Appalachian
Developmental Highway at the Circumferential Route (1-285) is
directly dependent upon the approval of 1-485. If approval is not

en ee

gained on the above numbered project, this section would probably
lose Federal Participation and revert to the local governmental
bodies to complete. There would be some question as to whether
F-056 south of 1-485 would ever be constructed, particularly the
section within the Circumferential Route (1-285), if 1-485 is not
approved, :

The improvement of the Northeast Freeway (I-85) which consists of
widening to six lanes from the interchange with I-485 near Cheshire
Bridge Road to the Circumferential Route (I-285) would be long
delayed if not stoppt = entirely if I-485 is not approved.

The possibility of F-120, the easterly extension of Lakewood
Avenue, becoming a traveling reality is dependent upon the
approval of 1-485,

I, therefore, recommend that the Board of Aldermen adopt the
attached resolution concurring in Line 'B" of 1-485 and that

we urge the State Highway Department to give top priority to its
completion,

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
