RAPID TRANSIT ss METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY "]Y.[ARTA REPORTS TO THE PEOPLE IT SERVES . . . " DECEMBER 1967 VOLUME 2, No.12 ENGINEERS SUBMIT REVISED RAPID TRANSIT PLAN The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) has officially received from the engineers, Parsons BrinckerhoffTudor-Bechtel, an updated report covering a rapid transit system for Metropolitan Atlanta. The report was publicly released December 3. Richard H. Rich, MARTA Chairman, stated, "The report brings up to date a similar one prepared in 1962 for the Atlanta Transit Study Commission, a predecessor group to MARTA. As submitted to the Authority, the new report includes a financial feasibility study made by the economic consulting firm of Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates." "It should be clearly understood that this is not MART A's report," Rich continued. "Rather, it is a report of the engineers and the economic consultants to MARTA." "The engineers have been working on their updating for well over a year," he said. "Their report reflects changes that have occurred in population, employment, economy, land use , physical characteristics, travel demand, transit vehicle design and costs in the last five years. It proposes certain changes in previously proposed rapid transit routes and station locations to meet the changes in Atlanta itself." "The Authority and its staff have been working with the engineers and have studied the report. Generally, we think it looks good, and it would become the skeleton of a balanced transportation system for Metropolitan Atlanta." "MARTA expects to make a more comprehensive report to the people of Georgia, especially those living in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area, sometime in 1968," he said. "We anticipate that report will cover an overall, balanced mass transit system for Atlanta. Coordinated with existing transit and transportation facilities, rapid transit will thus be a part of a total balanced transportation system which will meet immediate travel demands, as well as those anticipated in the future." "MARTA is beginning now a series of additional studies, consultations and, eventually, public hearings aimed at developing a plan for such a balanced transportation system. In this process we recognize that coordination with the Atlanta Transit System and the State Highway Department and the full cooperation and approval of Metropolitan Atlanta Area governments will be required. Toward this end, copies of the Engineers' report have been given in advance to these agencies," he concluded. While distribution of the full report is necessarily limited, the 16-page "Special Summary Report" is available to the public. Copies can be picked up at no cost at the MARTA offices, 808 Glenn Building, 120 Marietta Street.

NELSON, Chief Engineer KING ELLIOTT, Direc tor of Public Information H. N . JOI·INSON, S ecretary to General Manag_er ROLE OF BUS TO BE STUDIED "The study of the role of buses in connection with rapid transit is entirely consistent with the philosophy and current programs of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, and we will cooperate fully with the Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission in the pursuanc.e of such a study," says Henry L. Stuart, MART A General Manager. The Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission on December 11 approved a resolution to "undertake a study to determine the proper and feasible role which surface buses can logically play in an interim, permanent, or combined rail-bus j mass transit system for Metropolitan Atlanta." Such a study had been recommended by the Atlanta Board of Aldermen on December 4. "As I understand it," Stuart continued, "the study will be 'of sufficient depth' to determine the proper role of the bus in a mass transit system to serve Metropolitan Atlanta. I hope such a study will address itself to all possible uses of the bus in connection with rapid transit and will examine proposals for reserved lanes for buses in expressways; reserved lanes on surface streets; paved lanes on railroad rights-of-way; 'Hy-Rail' buses which can operate on streets and also run on flanged steel wheels on railroad tracks; 'Heli-buses', which can be picked up by large helicopters and flown from one location to another; electric buses on elevated concrete roadways; 'Hover-Craft' air-cushion -vehicles; 'Mini-Buses'; and any other applications of buses now in use or under experimentation." "The results of such a study can be of considerable assistance to MARTA in the determination of a final proposal for a balanced transportation system," Stuart concluded. Yet to be decided are the cost and scope of the study and who is to perform it. - - -- - - - - -- - - - - - There is nothing more maddening for a man than to have 300 horses under his hood and nothing but a half-mile of good road and 300,000 cars between him and where he wants to go. When Andrew Jackson was President it took him a month to get from the Hermitage in Nashville to his office in Washington. Almost a century and a half of progress later, Atlantans on their way to work make just about that kind of time. And Rhett and Scarlett thought THEY had trouble getting out of town. The traffic situation in Atlanta, in short, is intolerable, and the number of cars in town is supposed to double by 1983. The only thing that can save us from devoting half our days to getting back and forth _slowly is a new transportation system. The system that can move the most people fastest, and get them in each other's way least, is rapid rail transit. - - - - - " UNLESS WE MOVE TO MEET TRANSPORTATION needs on a balanced and comprehensive basis, we will continue to be confronted with such ironies as new aircraft, already in production, capable of flying from New York to Seattle in about the same time it takes a Manhattan taxicab to go crosstown." - Dr. William J. Ronan, Chairman, Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (New York). A new plan for such a system has been presented by engineers to the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority , which has been working since 1965 to carry out the mandate by which Metropolitan Atlanta approved rapid transit in 1964. The plan specifies exactly where the full 65-mile system eventually will go. The plan includes specifications and aerial photos showing what the new system will be like. It also tells us about how much it will cost-$479 million, at least, for the first 54 miles. This includes everything that is planned except the line that will go into Cobb County when and if that county' s citizenry realizes its value. (Only Cobb, of all the metropolitan counties, elected not to join MARTA.) * * Considerable impetus for the implementation of these plans (as for the travels of Scarlett and Rhett) is expected from the federal government. Some money is also expected from the State of Georgia. But more than half of it will probably have to come from the people of the Metropolitan area . Sometime next year the people of Fulton and DeKalb Counties, in which the first 21 miles will be laid, will vote on a bond issue to finance that first line, on which travel could begin by 1975. We not only hope but pray they will approve the issue. Every year construction of the system is delayed means it will cost more. It will be a big job, and won't be finished until 1985. * * It is either do this job, so that we can get to the central station under Broad Street from Brookhaven in 14 minutes, or from Forest Park in 17 minutes, or from Emory in 12-or else learn to tolerate that 1985 traffic, which is going to consist, you remember, of twice as many cars. "THE SUBWAY IS THE BACKBONE of our transit system. It has given our downtown core the assurance of stability and permanence. Without doubt it has been and will continue to be the catalyst for a whale of a lot of new development and the redevelopment of older, uneconomic areas in our city ." Ralph C. Day, Toronto Transit Commission Chaimzan " THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION looks at the transit industry as the best means immediately at hand fo r solving the problem of peak hour commuting and downtown congestion." -A lan S. Boyd, Secretary of Transportation �STATION STOPS FORfST PARK ANYONE FOR RAPID TRANSIT ? RAPID TRANSIT BRIEFS MARTA DIRECTOR Sanford Atwood has been reappointed by the DeKalb County Commission to a new, four-year term which will begin January 1, 1968. The term of Roy A. Blount, the other director from DeKalb County will expire December 31, 1969. DEKALB COUNTY COMMISSION at its December 12 meeting adopted a resolution commending "MARTA for its approach to the problems and carrying out the wishes of the people" in the development of a rapid transit proposal. The motion was made by Commissioner Tom Callaway and was adopted unanimously. NEW YORK STATE voters overwhelmingly approved a $2.5 billion transportation bond issue November 7. The vote was 2,743,431 to 1,965,558, or about 3 to 2. As one observer put it, "Governor Nelson Rockefeller has shown that mass transportation is good politics." A ROME MAN h as ordered the first ticket for a rapid transit ride. Following a speech to the Rome Kiwanis Club, MARTA General Manager Henry L. Stuart received a letter from Mr. Dean Covington, a Rome lawyer, asking for the first ticket and enclosing a check for 25 cents. At this point, Stuart hasn't decided whether to deposit the check and open up a new account, or simply to frame the check and hang it on the office wall. MARTA CHIEF ENGINEER, Earl Nelson, was one of 500 transit experts who attended a one-day Washington conference on "New Approaches to Urban Transportation" on November 29. The conference was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A RAPID TRANSIT EXTENSION to O' Hare International Airport was suggested in a consultant's report on needs for virtually doubling the airport's facilities pending the development of a third major airport for the Chicago area. The need for a rapid transit extension to the O'Hare airport was based on anticipations that highway routes would be "saturated" with traffic to that busy location by 1975. The report estimated that additional terminal facilities at O'Hare would cost $280 million and the rapid transit extension$60 million. GENERAL MANAGER STUART was a guest on an opening day of WRNG Radio Atlanta when the Station began its broadcasting operations Monday, December 4. Stuart discussed rapid transit with host, Art Bradley, and answered questions phoned in by the listening audience. HOW FAST TO DOWNTOWN? The map above shows the travel times from the various proposed rapid transit stations to Transit Center near Five Points. This is one of many maps, charts, and tables contained in "A Special Summary Report," a layman's version of the 1967 engineering report released December 3rd. Copies may be picked up at the MARTA offices, 808 Glenn Building. Several architectural sketches show how stations might be constructed in various situations. The picture below is of an embankment station. The report contains a proposal for a financing plan which would use funds from local, state, and federal sources. The 30mile basic system could be built, 1mder this plan, for about $332 million. The proposed plan suggests a combination of $199 million local funds; $33 million from the State of Georgia, and $100 million from federal sources for the basic system. Assuming the local share would be paid from ad valorem taxes, this would amount to a maximum of 3 mills in Fulton County and 1.6 mills in DeKalb County. The 52-mile regional system would cost about $479 million, and would be based on an additional $100 million or more fe deral funds, and about 1.5 mills from Clayton and Gwinnett Counties. The report concludes. "The owner of a $20,000 home, for example, in 1978 would pay $18.00 more if his home was in Fulton County and $9.60 if his property was in DeKalb County. Such costs- no more than 35 cents per week and less in non-peak years- make rapid transit a good investment. I "' �MARTAnswers QUESTION: How does the 1967 report differ from the 1962 report? ANSWER: Many significant changes in population, employment, housing and traffic have occurred in the Metropolitan Atlanta area since the 1962 rapid transit report was completed. Comparison of the new planning report with that published in 1962 reveals how the amended rapid transit plan directly reflects changes in the Atlanta region which have occurred in the same period of time. The revisions in the rapid transit plan include : Rearrangement of lines to make Pershing Point the northern terminus of the central distribution line, providing a Central Line station adjoining Atlanta's new Memorial Center. Relocation of Transit Center Station to the south side of the "gulch" opposite the new First National Bank Building to better allow for planned utilization of railroad air rights. Addition of a new station on the East Line to serve the State Capitol area and the mushrooming campus of Georgia State College. Extension of subway along the entire Central Line from Broad Street at Garnett Street on the south to Interstate 85 north of Pershing Point. Relocation of the South Line between East Point and Mountain View to provide direct service to the proposed new airport terminal complex. Introduction of numerous changes to improve station access, to assure a harmonious relationship between stations and the surrounding areas, and to impose higher standards of operation and comfort. QUESTION: Is the 1967 plan the official plan of how the system will actually be built? ANSWER: No. The 1967 report simply brings up to date the system propose d in 1962. It does not include, for example, extensions on the East and West lines to I-285 ; these ex tensions are part of a preliminary engineering work now under way under a separate contract. The new 1967 plan will be modified considerably befo re a plan is developed to present to the public. Then, a series of public meetings and formal public hearings will be held, at which the public will be able to express their opinions of the plans and to submit their ideas. After these meetings and hearings are concluded, the ideas and comments will be evaluated, and the Board of Directors will then make final decisions and develop a final plan and program. This final plan and program will then be submitted to the voters who will ultimately decide whether rapid transit will be built. -,-~-• QUESTION: When will the referendum be held? ANSWER: No final decision has been made , but MART A planning at this point is looking toward a referendum in November 1968. Given a successful referendum in 1968, first rapid transit service could begin in 1974, with the entire 30-mile basic system in operation in 1975 or 1976. -Hemy L. Stuart, MARTA General Manager MARTAcTION At its December meeting the MARTA Board of Directors approved a budget and work program of $1.5 million for 1968. A more detailed explanation and breakdown of the $750,000 element for the preliminary design of the transit center was requested, and the budget was adopted subject to a satisfactory review of this item. In other action the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to sign the contracts between MARTA and the State Department of Industry and Trade concerning the use of the state's appropriation of $500,000 for rapid transit; and reappointed Arthur Andersen Company as auditor for 1968. The Directors tentatively set the date for the nex t meeting for January 5 subj ect to confirmation by letter. The Board mee ting will be held in Room 619, Glenn Building, 120 Marietta Street, N.W., Atlanta. ELSEWHERE ... BILLION DOLLAR PLANS for a rapid transit system are being developed for Sea ttle, Los Ange les, and Washington, D.C. A Seattle study calls for a 45-mile system at an eventual cost of $1.5 billion to build. Los Angeles has a preliminary report calling for a 62-mile system priced at $1.5 billion. And Washington, D.C. is now building a 25-mile system, proposing that it eventually be 95.3 miles with an eventual cost for the total sys tem of $2. 3 billion. In addition, the $1.2 billion San Francisco system is now under constru ction. MEXICO CITY is well under way in construction of its new subway sys tem. Plans call for all 22 miles of its 3 lines to be in operation by 1970. A NEW TYPE RAIL-BUS was demonstrated by Red Arrow Lines on the Philadelphia and Western Railway between Bryn Mawr and Bridgeport. The 49-seat diesel-powered bus has been equipped with retractable steel wheels for travel on railways as well as highways. Merritt H. Taylor, Jr., President of the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company, the parent firm of Red Arrow, said that if the bus tests out as expected, they _will be used to replace the company's 50 trolleys and trains operating in Delaware and Montgomery counties.

Blount, the other director from DeKalb County will expire December 31, 1969. DEKALB COUNTY COMMISSION at its December 12 meet- ing adopted a resolution commending “MARTA for its approach to the problems and carrying out the wishes of the people” in the development of a rapid transit proposal. The motion was made by Commissioner Tom Callaway and was adopted unanimously. NEW YORK STATE voters overwhelmingly approved a $2.5 billion transportation bond issue November 7. The vote was 2,743,431 to 1,965,558, or about 3 to 2. As one observer put it, “Governor Nelson Rockefeller has shown that mass transporta- tion is good politics.” A ROME MAN has ordered the first ticket for a rapid transit ride. Following a speech to the Rome Kiwanis Club, MARTA General Manager Henry L. Stuart received a letter from Mr. Dean Covington, a Rome lawyer, asking for the first ticket and enclos- ing a check for 25 cents. At this point, Stuart hasn’t decided whether to deposit the check and open up a new account, or sim- ply to frame the check and hang it on the office wall. MARTA CHIEF ENGINEER, Earl Nelson, was one of 500 transit experts who attended a one-day Washington conference on “New Approaches to Urban Transportation” on November 29. The conference was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A RAPID TRANSIT EXTENSION to O’Hare International Airport was suggested in a consultant’s report on needs for virtu- ally doubling the airport’s facilities pending the development of a third major airport for the Chicago area. The need for a rapid transit extension to the O’Hare airport was based on anticipa- tions that highway routes would be “‘saturated” with traffic to that busy location by 1975. The report estimated that addition- al terminal facilities at O'Hare would cost $280 million and the rapid transit extension $60 million, GENERAL MANAGER STUART was a guest on an opening day of WRNG Radio Atlanta when the Station began its broad- casting operations Monday, December 4, Stuart discussed rapid transit with host, Art Bradley, and answered questions phoned in by the listening audience. 23 oe rae) COMAVILLE MARIETTA (FB Fain cans le) TRAVEL TIME vommm tN MINUTES FROM vw TRANSIT CENTER 2 INCLUDING STATION STOPS HOW FAST TO DOWNTOWN? The map above shows the travel times from the various pro- posed rapid transit stations to Transit Center near Five Points. This is one of many maps, charts, and tables contained in “A Special Summary Report,” a layman’s version of the 1967 engi- neering report released December 3rd. Copies may be picked up at the MARTA offices, 808 Glenn Building. Several architectural sketches show how stations might be constructed in various situations. The picture below is of an em- bankment station. The report contains a proposal for a financing plan which would use funds from local, state, and federal sources. The 30- mile basic system could be built, under this plan, for about $332 million. The proposed plan suggests a combination of $199 mil- lion local funds; $33 million from the State of Georgia, and $100 million from federal sources for the basic system. Assuming the local share would be paid trom ad valorem taxes, this would amount to a maximum of 3 mills in Fulton County and 1.6 mills in DeKalb County. The 52-mile regional system would cost about $479 million, and would be based on an additional $100 million or more fed- eral funds, and about 1.5 mills from Clayton and Gwinnett Counties. The report concludes. “The owner of a $20,000 home, for example, in 1978 would pay $18.00 more if his home was in Fulton County and $9.60 if his property was in DeKalb County. Such costs—no more than 35 cents per week and less in non-peak years—make rapid transit a good investment. MART Answers QUESTION: How does the 1967 report differ from the 1962 report? ANSWER: Many significant changes in population, employment, housing and traffic have occurred in the Metropolitan Atlanta area since the 1962 rapid transit report was completed. Compari- son of the new planning report with that published in 1962 re- veals how the amended rapid transit plan directly reflects changes in the Atlanta region which have occurred in the same period of time. The revisions in the rapid transit plan include: Rearrangement of lines to make Pershing Point the northern terminus of the central distribution line, providing a Central Line station adjoining Atlanta’s new Memorial Center. Relocation of Transit Center Station to the south side of the “gulch” opposite the new First National Bank Building to better allow for planned utilization of railroad air rights. Addition of a new station on the East Line to serve the State Capitol area and the mushrooming campus of Georgia State Col- lege. Extension of subway along the entire Central Line from Broad Street at Garnett Street on the south to Interstate 85 north of Pershing Point. Relocation of the South Line between East Point and Moun- tain View to provide direct service to the proposed new airport terminal complex. Introduction of numerous changes to improve station access, to assure a harmonious relationship between stations and the sur- rounding areas, and to impose higher standards of operation and comfort. QUESTION: Is the 1967 plan the official plan of how the sys- tem will actually be built? ANSWER: No. The 1967 report simply brings up to date the sys- tem proposed in 1962. It does not include, for example, exten- sions on the East and West lines to I-285; these extensions are part of a preliminary engineering work now under way under a separate contract. The new 1967 plan will be modified consider- ably before a plan is developed to present to the public. Then, a series of public meetings and formal public hearings will be held, at which the public will be able to express their opinions of the plans and to submit their ideas, After these meetings and hear- ings are concluded, the ideas and comments will be evaluated, and the Board of Directors will then make final decisions and de- velop a final plan and program. This final plan and program will then be submitted to the voters who will ultimately decide whether rapid transit will be built. 6806 GLENN BLDG. - 120MARIETTA ST..

ANSWER: No final decision has been made, but MARTA plan- ning at this point is looking toward a referendum in November 1968. Given a successful referendum in 1968, first rapid transit serv- ice could begin in 1974, with the entire 30-mile basic system in operation in 1975 or 1976, —Henry L, Stuart, MARTA General Manager MART ActTIon At its December meeting the MARTA Board of Directors ap- proved a budget and work program of $1.5 million for 1968. A more detailed explanation and breakdown of the $750,000 element for the preliminary design of the transit center was requested, and the budget was adopted subject to a satisfactory review of this item. In other action the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to sign the contracts between MARTA and the State De- partment of Industry and Trade concerning the use of the state’s appropriation of $500,000 for rapid transit; and reappointed Arthur Andersen Company as auditor for 1968. The Directors tentatively set the date for the next meeting for January 5 subject to confirmation by letter. The Board meeting will be held in Room 619, Glenn Building, 120 Marietta Street, N.W., Atlanta. ELSEWHERE... BILLION DOLLAR PLANS for a rapid transit system are being devel- oped for Seattle, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C, A Seattle study calls for a 45-mile system at an eventual cost of $1.5 billion to build. Los An- geles has a preliminary report calling for a 62-mile system priced at $1.5 billion, And Washington, D.C, is now building a 25-mile system, propos- ing that it eventually be 95,3 miles with an eventual cost for the total system of $2.3 billion. In addition, the $1.2 billion San Francisco system is now under construction, MEXICO CITY is well under way in construction of its new subway system. Plans call for all 22 miles of its 3 lines to be in operation by 1970, A NEW TYPE RAIL-BUS was demonstrated by Red Arrow Lines on the Philadelphia and Western Railway between Bryn Mawr and Bridgeport. The 49-seat diesel-powered bus has been equipped with retractable steel wheels for travel on railways as well as highways. Merritt H. Taylor, Jr, President of the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company, the parent firm of Red Arrow, said that if the bus tests out as expected, they will be used to replace the company’s 50 trolleys and trains operating in Delaware and Montgomery counties.

NO. 9 FINANCIAL PLAN OFFERED PROPOSES "HAMBURGER-A-WEEK"COST TO LOCAL CITIZEN Rapid transit can be built at a maximum cost to the taxpayer of 3 mills in Fulton County and 1.6 mills in DeKalb County, according to economic consultants of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. The figures are contained in the final draft of a report by Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates prepared as part of the revision of the 1962 plan for rapid transit for Metropolitan Atlanta. The 1967 revision of the plan is expected to be completed in the next few weeks. , The report shows that the basic 30-mile system, which will cost about $332 million, can be built with local funds of $199 million, state funds of $33 million, and federal funds of $ 100 million. The Fulton County share would be $146,265,000 (73.5%) and the DeKalb County share $52,735,000 (26,5%). Clayton and Gwinnett Counties would not contribute to the capital construction costs until work is begun on the extensions to complete the 52-mile system when additional federal funds are expected to become available. The Clayton and Gwinnett f,inancial support would include a pro rata share of the costs of the basic system. "This report shows that the maximum cost of rapid transit in Fulton County to the owner of a $15,000 house would be $12.00; the same person in DeKalb County would pay about $6.40 maximum," MARTA General Manager said. "In Fulton County, this amounts to the price of a hamburger a week, or two or three cups of coffee a week," he told the MARTA Board of Directors at their regular meeting today. "And these amounts would be paid only for about 5 years; the rest of the time the costs would be even lower," he continued. "When Clayton and Gwinnett counties assume their share of the costs, their rate would be a maximum of 1.5 mills, or about $6.00 a year to the owner of a $ 15,000 house," Stuart explained. • "The report of our financial consultants proposes what appears to be a practical and feasible approach to financing construction of the rapid transit system," he said. "Our final plans are taking shape and preliminary engineering is developing well. · If a successful referendum can be held in November 1968, we would begin construction in Spring of 1969. If this program develops in this manner," he stated, "we would have the first line operating about the end of 1973 and the basic 30-mile system in service in 1975. The entire 52-mile system could well be in operation before 1980, or in about the same length of time it is taking to complete the perimeter expressway. "We need to begin construction as early as possible," he concluded, "since every year's delay costs us $18 to $20 million thru inflation and increased construction costs. The basic 30-mile system would have 24 stations and would run from Brookhaven to College Park and from Decatur to Lynhurst Drive near i-285 on the west, with a northwest stub to Northside Drive.

George L. DeMent , Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Transit Authority, recently discussed the importance of parking facilities in connectio n with rapid transit stations. Referring to the new Skokie Swift exte nsion to the Chicago rapid transit system, he said , "The 522 Park-N-Ride spaces provided at the outer Dempster Street terminal has proved to be a major factor in the success of Skokie Swift. This Park-N-Ride is used to 100 per ce nt capacity every weekday .

Simila r examples could be cited for the Park-N-Ride lots along other Ch icago lines." DeMe nt noted that " the Cleveland Tra nsit System has given emphasis to Park-N-Ride . Seven 'Rap id' stations have been provided with 5,2 18 free parking spaces ...Additional parking spaces soon will be provided along the air port rapid tran sit exte nsion now under construction ." He quoted a survey which " indicated that parking spaces are being used at a rate of 1.3 ca rs per day. and that each car carries an average of 1. 2 passengers. He says further that "the Toro nto Tra nsit Commission will provide parking spaces for 3,000 cars at t hree stations along the Bloo r Street subway extension now unde r construction. with (Co11 ri1111ed 0 11 Page 3. Col. I I �CITY PLANNING AND RAPID TRANSIT The American Institute of Planners has a strong interest in the development of a rapid transit system for the Atlanta Metropolitan. Area. The specific interest in MARTA and its proposed system is related to the "balance" and relationship of the transit network to the rest of the metropolitan area and to the total transportation system of the metropolitan area- as it exists and is planned. The planner is concerned with the relationships that will be an outgrowth of the system. What impact will MART A lines have on public and private property? Which areas will be likely to develop because_ of a MARTA installation-a station, for instance? Will the system be sensitively related to neighborhoods and business areas, or industrial areas? How? Will the system put stations in places where other planning and development activities provide an opportunity to "multiply" the effect of the investment in transit by an investment in urban renewal, or a college, or a new business area, or a special school? Can better relationships be established between elements of the transit system and the environment? The planning profession is interested in the general and the comprehensive dimensions of the city and the metropolitan area. Therefore, the planning interest in the transit system will extend beyond the tracks and the stations, into a concern for nearby property- and, more important, property that is not so near. The planning concern for all of the Atlanta area is oriented to maximizing the livability of our "place," and deals equally with the areas impacted and not impacted. In the areas being served (giving the word "impact" a positive tone) the planner is likely to seek to make the favorable impact more favorable , more utilitarian, more significant to the area in terms of its present and future role in the city , whether this role is related to change, redevelopment, more intensive developRichard M. Forbes ment, new uses or no change. The planning attitude about any pubEc or private investment is based on what the facility will mean to people in their environment. What will it mean to citizens as they travel to and from work, to recreation, to shopping? This is one level of concern. What it will mean to people at home , if they live near the transit line, is another concern. For example, will it cause an unpleasant industry to develop nearby? The planning concern reduces itself to a concern for our city, our place , our environment. The planner wishes to make Greater ' Atlanta the best possible place in which to live and work. He consequently sees transit as a marvelous opportunity to use a large public investment as one of the elements that will help to do that. However, transit will make a positive contribution only if it is very carefully related to each part of the area and to other projects and plans so that the system is balanced. This relationship to the whole is o( prime importance. _________ MARTA TALKS ... AND LISTENS The story of rapid transit plans for Metropolitan Atlanta is finding interested audiences throughout this area. Between the first of June and mid-September, the MARTA directors and staff talked to some 1700 members or more than 30 civic and other groups, illustrating the MARTA story with slides or motion picture films. In addition, many other discussions were held with city and county officials, planning departments, state legislators, and citizen groups such as Chambers ofCommerce 1 and Central Atlanta Progress. After the formal presentations, the meetings were generally opened for questions. In_the picture below, Henry L. Stuart, MARTA General Manager, is listening to a question being asked by a member of the Atlanta Civitan Club. 1 Richard M. Forbes, Assistan t Professor of Real Estate and Urban Af fairs at Georgia State College, is a member of the MARTA Advisory Committee, representing the planning prof ession. He is a member of the A merican Institute of Planners, and other professional groups. (Continued froin Page 2, Col. 2) additional spaces planned for the Yonge Street Subway Extensio n just authorized. The new 10-mile extension in South Jersey will provide nearly 5,000 parking spaces at six locations with provision for fu ture expansio n. Over 16,000 parking spaces ·at 23 statio ns will be provided along th.e . 75-mile rapid transit system being built in San Francisco. Quoting DeMent , "There is no longer a question of the need for such facilities. It is o nly a question of how much parking should be provided fo r any given rapid transit installat ion ." The system being designed fo r the Atlanta area will include adequate parking facilities at suburban stations. A MARTA display depicting progress in the development of rapid transit was part of the fifth Annual Fall Sale at J amestown Shopping Center in College Park recently. The event was sponsored by the College Park Jaycees in cooperation with merchants at the shopping center. The MARTA display shows the location of Transit Center in downtown Atlanta, and the various lines considere d for rapid transit routes. The display back of College Park Jaycee President Paul Green shows in the upper left corner a cutaway view of how Transit Center might be designed, with escalators connecting the two levels of trains with the sidewalks above. The lower left corner contains typical site development plans for the four levels of Transit Center while in the lower right corner is a map locating Transit Center in relation to downtown streets. The map in the upper right corner shows the areas in wh.ich the routes and stations will be located. Routes as planned in 196 1, 1962, an d 1966-7 are variously indicated. The display back of Joan Eschenbrenner, MARTA secretary , feat ures a large aerial photo of downtown Atlanta and pictures of various major building developments now under way near rap id transit stations. The MARTA exhibit aroused many enthusiastic comments from those who viewed it. �MARTAnswers MARTA ACTION QUESTION : Why is MARTA planning to use the old-type steelwheel and steel-rail system instead of something new, like monorail? ANSWER: In the first place, monorail is not new or modern . As shown in the picture below, monorail has been around a long time- 70 years or so. A short monorail line has been operating across a river in Germany since 1906. The major reason for not using monorail, however, is simply that no monorail system has ever been a commercially successful operation in moving numbers of commuters. In recent years, short, relatively simple monorail systems have been built in Paris and Tokyo, and others have been used in World's Fairs in Seattle and New York, and at Disneyland. These small operations, however, do not meet MART A's design requirements to transport commuters at 70 miles per hour in capacities approaching 30,000 passengers per hour. T_here are other problems relating to cost, engineering, construction, and route location : Both the top-supported (suspended) and bottom-supported monorail systems are more expensive to construct system-wide than the conventional steel-wheel steel rail system . The topsupported monorail requires the support structure throughout the system, whereas MARTA's plans call for only 3½ miles of aerial structure. The top-supported monorail requires a much larger tunnel for subway where subway is essential. Trying to .eliminate the monorail subway brings us back to the problem MART A faced all along- where to put the routes through downtown Atlanta without using subway . There is no feasible surface route for either system.

No action was taken on the report. No official action was taken by the Board since a quorum was not present. The next meeting of the MARTA Board of Directors will be Tuesday, October 3, 1967, 3:30 p.m., Room 619, Glenn Building, 120 Marietta St. , N.W. The bottom-supported system would be somewhat more expensive for grade and aerial structure than the steel-wheel steel rail system, and considerably more expensive for subway because of the larger tunnel required. If expense were not the major factor it is , the question then arises, "what would monorail give you that the conventional system would not provide?" The answer is "nothing." The monorail is slower, has higher operational costs, and does not provide as comfortable ride. During the past 70 years, engineering problems relating to monorail have not been satisfactorily resolved. These include switching, high speeds (70 to 80 MPH), sway , and other technical problems. · These and other disadvantages may eventually be resolved, but no solution is in sight. By contrast , the dual rail system solved these and many other engineering and operational problems years ago. The dual-rail system will definitely provide what is needed in this area: 70 MPH speeds, safety, comfort, and convenience at less cost than any type monorail. Using a known and proven technology means MART A will be able to bring the system into operation at the earliest possible time . This is our goal. - Henry L.

Seven ‘Rapid’ stations have been pro- vided with 5,218 free parking spaces...Additional parking spaces soon will be provided along the airport rapid transit extension now under construction.” He quoted a survey which “indicated that parking spaces are being used at a rate of 1.3 cars per day, and that each car carries an average of 1.2 passengers. He says further that “the Toronto Transit Commission will provide parking spaces for 3,000 cars at three stations along the Bloor Street subway extension now under construction, with (Continued on Page 3, Col. | CITY PLANNING AND RAPID TRANSIT The American Institute of Planners has a strong interest in the development of a rapid transit system for the Atlanta Met- ropolitan. Area. The specific interest in MARTA and its propos- ed system is related to the “balance” and relationship of the transit network to the rest of the metropolitan area and to the total transportation system of the metropolitan area—as it exists and is planned. The planner is concerned with the relationships that will be an outgrowth of the system. What impact will MARTA lines have on public and private property? Which areas will be likely to develop because of a MARTA installation—a station, for in- stance? Will the system be sensitively related to neighborhoods and business areas, or industrial areas? How? Will the system put stations in places where other planning and development activi- ties provide an opportunity to “multiply” the effect of the in- vestment in transit by an investment in urban renewal, or a col- lege, or a new business area, or a special school? Can better re- lationships be established between elements of the transit sys- tem and the environment? The planning profession is interested in the general and the comprehensive dimensions of the city and the metropolitan area. Therefore, the planning interest in the transit system will extend beyond the tracks and the stations, into a concern for nearby property—and, more important, property that is not so near. The planning concern for all of the Atlanta area is oriented ae _ to maximizing the livability of our “place,” and deals equally with the areas impacted and not impacted. In the areas being served (giving the word “im- f pact” a positive tone) the planner is likely to seek to make the favorable im- pact more favorable, more utilitarian, more significant to the area in terms of its present and future role in the city, whether this role is related to change, redevelopment, more intensive develop- Richard M. Forbes ment, new uses or no change. The planning attitude about any public or private investment is based on what the facility will mean to people in their en- vironment. What will it mean to citizens as they travel to and from work, to recreation, to shopping? This is one level of con- cern. What it will mean to people at home, if they live near the transit line, is another concern. For example, will it cause an un- pleasant industry to develop nearby? The planning concern reduces itself to a concern for our city, our place, our environment. The planner wishes to make Greater Atlanta the best possible place in which to live and work, He consequently sees transit as a marvelous opportunity to use a large public investment as one of the elements that will help to do that. However, transit will make a positive contribution only if it is very carefully related to each part of the area and to other projects and plans so that the system is balanced. This re- lationship to the whole is of prime importance. Richard M. Forbes, Assistant Professor of Real Estate and Urban Af- fairs at Georgia State College, is a member of the MARTA Advisory Com- mittee, representing the planning profession, He is a member of the American Jnstitute of Planners, and other professional groups, nS (Continued from Page 2, Col. 2) additional spaces planned for the Yonge Street Subway Exten- ‘ sion just authorized. The new 10-mile extension in South Jersey will provide nearly 5,000 parking spaces at six locations with provision for future expansion. Over 16,000 parking spaces at 23 stations will be provided along the 75-mile rapid transit sys- tem being built in San Francisco. Quoting DeMent, “There is no longer a question of the need for such facilities. It is only a question of how much parking should be provided for any given rapid transit installation.” The system being designed for the Atlanta area will include adequate parking facilities at suburban stations. MARTA TALKS...AND LISTENS The story of rapid transit plans for Metropolitan Atlanta is finding interested audiences throughout this area. Between the first of June and mid-September, the MARTA directors and staff talked to some 1700 members or more than 30 civic and other groups, illustrating the MARTA story with slides or mo- tion picture films. In addition, many other discussions were held with city and county officials, planning departments, state legislators, and citizen groups such as Chambers of Commerce and Central Atlanta Progress. After the formal presentations, the meetings were generally opened for questions. In the picture below, Henry L. Stuart, MARTA General Manager, is listening a a question being asked by a member of the Atlanta Civitan lub, = A MARTA display depicting progress in the development of rapid transit was part of the fifth Annual Fall Sale at Jamestown Shopping Center in College Park recently. The event was spon- sored by the College Park Jaycees in cooperation with mer- chants at the shopping center. The MARTA display shows the location of Transit Center in downtown Atlanta, and the various lines considered for rapid transit routes. The display back of College Park Jaycee President Paul Green shows in the upper left corner a cutaway view of how Transit Center might be designed, with escalators connecting the two levels of trains with the sidewalks above. The lower left corner contains typical site development plans for the four levels of Transit Center while in the lower right cor- ner is a map locating Transit Center in relation to downtown streets. The map in the upper right corner shows the areas in which the routes and stations will be located, Routes as planned in 1961, 1962, and 1966-7 are variously indicated. The display back of Joan Eschenbrenner, MARTA secretary, features a large aerial photo of downtown Atlanta and pictures of various major building developments now under way near rapid transit stations. The MARTA exhibit aroused many enthusiastic comments from those who viewed it. MART <Anewers QUESTION: Why is MARTA planning to use the old-type steel- wheel and steel-rail system instead of something new, like monorail? ANSWER: In the first place, monorail is not new or modern. As shown in the picture below, monorail has been around a long time—70 years or so. A short monorail line has been operating across a river in Germany since 1906. The major reason for not using monorail, however, is simply that no monorail system has ever been a commercially success- ful operation in moving numbers of commuters. In recent years, short, relatively simple monorail systems have been built in Paris and Tokyo, and others have been used in World’s Fairs in Seattle and New York, and at Disneyland. These small operations, however, do not meet MARTA’s design requirements to transport commuters at 70 miles per hour in ca- pacities approaching 30,000 passengers per hour. There are other problems relating to cost, engineering, con- struction, and route location: Both the top-supported (suspended) and bottom-supported monorail systems are more expensive to construct system-wide than the conventional steel-wheel steel rail system. The top- supported monorail requires the support structure throughout the system, whereas MARTA’s plans call for only 3% miles of aerial structure. The top-supported monorail requires a much larger tunnel for subway where subway is essential. Trying to eliminate the monorail subway brings us back to the problem MARTA faced all along—where to put the routes through down- town Atlanta without using subway. There is no feasible surface route for either system. n= = oe - — —— Pal) MEIGS COLLECTION, Yale University Library — MONORAIL, 1887 VERSION — Joe Vincent Meigs (second row, sixth from right) patented this early “monorail” in 1873.

N.W. - PHONE 524-5711 (AREA CODE 404) SEPTEMBER 1967. VOL. 2, NO.9 RAPID TRANSIT PROGRESS METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY MARTA ACTION The Board of Directors at its September 5 meeting heard a re- port on a financial study by Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates, Inc. No action was taken on the report. No official action was taken by the Board since a quorum was not present. The next meeting of the MARTA Board of Directors will be Tuesday, October 3, 1967, 3:30 p.m., Room 619, Glenn Building, 120 Marietta St., N.W. The bottom-supported system would be somewhat more ex- pensive for grade and aerial structure than the steel-wheel steel rail system, and considerably more expensive for subway be- cause of the larger tunnel required. If expense were not the major factor it is, the question then arises, “what would monorail give you that the conventional system would not provide?” The answer is “nothing.” The monorail is slower, has higher operational costs, and does not provide as comfortable ride. During the past 70 years, engineer- ing problems relating to monorail have not been satisfactorily resolved. These include switching, high speeds (70 to 80 MPH), sway, and other technical problems. These and other disadvantages may eventually be resolved, but no solution is in sight. By contrast, the dual rail system solved these and many other engineering and operational prob- lems years ago. The dual-rail system will definitely provide what is needed in this area: 70 MPH speeds, safety, comfort, and con- venience at less cost than any type monorail. Using a known and proven technology means MARTA will be able to bring the system into operation at the earliest possible time. This is our goal.—Henry L.

ACTUAR Y Honorable .Richard H. Rich, - Chairman Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority 808 Glenn Building 120 Marietta Street, N. W. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Sir: . . The Atlanta Summit Leadership Conference is keenly interested in the growth and development of our great city. As a collective leadership group of the Atlanta Negro Community we seek as a matter of public policy and practice, that our Negro citizens share with6ut discrimination on account of race or color in all opportunities, service and programs of _our dynamic booming city. Specifically, as regards to MARTA, our requests and concerns are as follows: . . l. We request a clear understanding and firm commitment of non-discrimination in ·employment at all levels including ·administration, transit center, sub-stations and train operators. · 2. In order to insure a completely desegregated operational staff, we request an estimate of personnel need~ ~ncluding job descriptions, job qualifications and projected expected salaries for various jobs; by the following years 1967, 1968 and 1973. (It is our desire to begin now to alert training institutions and N_e_g ro ci tizens of these coming employment opporturiities. We also feel that there are experienced Negro citizens in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other citi es with operational rapid transit who would be interested in opportunities in our gr e at city. ) �' . Honorable · Richard H. Rich Page 2 January 4, 1967 3. We desire a conference at an early date with appropriate MARTA representatives and MARTA General Manager H. L. Stuart with the Summit Conference, for purposes of discussing methods of route and sub-station selections. 4. We hope t6 have 100,000 Negroes eligible to vote at the time of the proposed 1969 Bond Issue.

Rich, Chairman - Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority 808 Glenn Building 120 Marietta Street, N. W.. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Sir: The Atlanta Summit Leadership Conference is keenly interested in the growth and development of our great city. As a collective leadership group of the Atlanta Negro Community we seek as a matter of public policy and practice, that our Negro citizens share without discrimi- nation on account of race or color in all opportunities, service and programs of our dynamic booming city. Specifi- cally, as regards to MARTA, our requests and concerns are as follows: l. We request a clear understanding and firm commitment of non-discrimination in -employ- ment at all levels including administration, transit center, sub-stations and train opera- tors. 2. In order to insure a completely desegregated operational staff, we request an estimate of personnel needs including job descriptions, job qualifications and projected expected salaries for various jobs; by the following years 1967, 1968 and 1973. (It is our desire to begin now to alert training institutions and Negro citi- zens of these coming employment opportunities. We also feel that there are experienced Negro citizens in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities with operational rapid transit who ete interested in opportunities in our great city. —— a 4 xO | iyrno Honorable Richard H. Rich Page 2. January 4, 1967 cce: 3. We desire a conference at an early date with appropriate MARTA representatives and MARTA General Manager H. L. Stuart with the Summit Conference, for purposes of discussing methods of route and sub-station selections. 4. We hope to have 100,000 Negroes eligible to vote at the time of the proposed 1969 Bond Issue. The Negro record of voting for progress in Atlanta is unexcelled by no sizeable part of our electorate. 5. We note under current plans that of the 36 miles of transit system to be opened by 1975 only 4.3 miles have been earmarked to serve the large. Negro westside population; and this short transit leg stopping at Hightower Road is totally un- acceptable, inadequate and unrealistic as a west- ward limit. 6. We note that the present MARTA employee staff is all-white. As setforth in #2 above please inform us presently of current staff needs.

Minutes: Minutes of the December 5, 1966, meeting, which had been mailed, were unanimously approved, upon a motion by Dr. Atwood, seconded by Mr. Pulver. The Secretary called the attention of the Board members to a letter of e xplanation from the economic consultant, regarding one item in the minutes of the December 5, 1966, meeting. This related to a statement that financial officers of the governments had tentatively approved the bases for a formula for cost-sharing of rapid transit capital expenditures among the governments. The Secretary suggested that this letter be made a part of the minutes as a matter of explanation . In an effort to keep the participating governments fully informed of the progress being made by the Authority, the Secretary was directed to make certain that all participating governments receive a complete set of all minutes .

Progress Reports: 1. General Manager. The General Manager reported on his appearance before the Committee on the Study of State and Local Governments of the Georgia House of Representatives. The Committee recommended that the State provide 10% of the total cost of the rapid transit system. He referred to negotiations which he had carried on with representatives of developers in the gulch area and the L. & N. Railroad, relative to rapid transit plans in the gulch. It appeared that all plans for development of the gulch had taken · into account the needs of the rapid transit system. After some discussion on the subject of handling the Authority's public information, particularly that part of it relating to financial considerations affecting local governments, it was agreed that all press releases prepared by the Authority's staff would be cleared with at least one member of the Board, preferably the Chairman or the Vice Chairman. 2. Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel. Mr. Coil reported on work which Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel had been carrying out during the past month. He said that the study of the north, northeast and east lines had been almost completed. Right-of-way maps had been prepared for the estimator, who was working in San Francisco on preliminary cost estimates. The firm was negotiating with several companies for aerial photography of the system, and expected to acquire this photography at an early date. In the discussion which followed Mr. Coil's report, it was agreed that at the earliest possible time, members of the Board should inspect routes, alignments and station locations recommended by the engineers, and that the highest governing authorities of the City of Atlanta - that is, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen - should be apprised of the recommendations of the engineers and the decisions on specific route locations by the Authority . In order to acquire the necessary property within the city limits , it was essential that the Board of Aldermen and the Authority be in agreement prior to public hearings which are required by law . 3. Hammer, Greene , Siler Associates. Mr. Garcia reported that his firm had assembled data for Cobb County comparable to that which had been secured earlier for the other governments. Meetings had been held with finance officers of DeKalb County, and similar meetings were planned with Fulton - 3 - . / V �County and the City of Atlanta, to discuss recommendations in the reports which had been submitted to the Authority. The firm was assembling material explaining their research, and drafting the final report. Reappointment of committees: The Board had established two committees in 1966. One was the Finance Committee, composed of _Mr. Lane, Mr. Blount and Mr. Rich. A second was called the Financial Advisory Committee. This was the professional finance officers of the local governments. The reappointment of appeared to exist on letter from Mr. Lane to resign because of these committees was postponed. A vacancy the Board since the Chairman had received a in which he stated that he was being forc~d pressure of other work. Reappointment of Auditor: In accordance with provisions of the Rapid Transit Authority Act it was necessary to appoint an auditor annually. The Arthur Andersen Company was unanimously reappointed for 1967, at a fee of $300. Authorization to Execute Contracts: The General Manager requested authorization to execute a contract between the Authority and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide for the use of a grant of $396,333.00 under Section 9 of the Mass Transit Act of 1966. The grant had been approved but the contract documents had not been received. He further requested authorization to execute a contract between the Authority and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel for engineering work to be performed in accordance with the grant. Copies of this agreement had been circulated to members of the Board. Upon a motion by Mr. Haverty, seconded by Dr . Atwood, Mr. Stuart was authorized to execute both contracts at the appropriate times . The General Manager asked for authority to authorize, if necessary, the e x penditure of $1 , 250.00 by Parsons, Brinckerhoff- Tudor , Bechtel for a right-of-way e x pert, Mr . Charles H. Shaw of San Francisco , to assist him in matters relating to right-of-way acquisition procedures. The General Manager also asked authorization to e x pend under the open-ended ret ainer agreement, an amount up to $2 , 000 .00 for - 4 - �surveying work, if required, to stake out certain alignments in the vicinity of the Union Station and Terminal Station area, to coordinate rapid transit plans with air right development plans. Authority's Funds: At Mr. Haverty's suggestion it was decided that the question of distribution of the Authority's funds among local banks be left as a matter for the Finance Committee to work out with the General Manager. Amendment to the Retainer Agreement: In view of the fact that a new contract was being made with Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel, it was considered to be in the best interest of the Authority that an amendment be made to the retainer agreement, consistent with its treatment of the other two contracts in effect with Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel, that is, the 701 and 702 contracts. It was unanimously agreed that the following resolution be adopted: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, Section 6 of the Retainer Agreement of June 28, 1966, between the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel provides that the existence of other contracts between the Authority and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel and between the Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel will not cause the total compensation to Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel under the three contracts to be more than the cost that would prevail if all the work was performed under the terms of the said Retainer Agreement; and WHEREAS, a new contract will be executed between this Authority and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel covering essentially the same work program but in a different geographical area than the other contracts; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that Section 6 of said Retainer Agreement be amended to place this new con tract in the same perspective as the aforementioned contracts. - 5 - �Proposed Amendments to Rapid Transit Act: Mr. Huie stated that in an effort to further perfect the Act under which the Authority was constituted, certain amendments had been suggested for presentation to the forthcoming Legislature. These related to: 1. Giving to the Authority the power of eminent domain. 2. Broadening the definition of "professi'onal services." 3. Clarifying the question of spending funds of the Authority for public information and public education. 4. Giving the Authority the right to invest surplus funds. 5. Changing the requirements for expenditures which require competitive bidding. During the discussion of methods of communication between the Board of Directors and the delegations to the General Assembly, it was suggested by Mr. Rich that the Board, if possible, meet with the local delegations. Mr. Huie would make an effort to arrange appropriate meetings. February Meeting Date: It ~as agreed that because some members would be absent from the city on February 7, 1967, the next scheduled meeting date, the February meeting would be held on February 14, 1967, at 3:30 P.M. and appropriate notices would be sent. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 P.M. - 6 - � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Roy Newsome, Regional Planner, Atlanta Region Metro- politan Planning Commission The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. Minutes: Minutes of the December 5, 1966, meeting, which had been mailed, were unanimously approved, upon a motion by Dr. Atwood, seconded by Mr. Pulver. The Secretary called the attention of the Board members to a letter of explanation from the economic consultant, regarding one item in the minutes of the December 5, 1966, meet- ing. This related to a statement that financial officers of Lr the governments had tentatively approved the bases for a formula for cost-sharing of rapid transit capital expenditures among the governments. The Secretary suggested that this letter be made a part of the minutes as a matter of explanation. In an effort to keep the participating governments fully informed of the progress being made by the Authority, the Secretary was directed to make certain that all participating governments receive a complete set of all minutes. Financial Report: The financial report for December, 1966, and the balance sheet as of December 31, 1966, together with a financial statement showing total itemized expenditures under the open-ended re- tainer agreement with Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel, were unanimously accepted upon motion by Dr. Atwood, seconded by Mr. Blount. Mr. Bennett presented an accounting of Committee of 100 funds for which he had been custodian. An advance of $10,000.00 had been made by Forward Atlanta to assist in public information work relative to Amendment No. 14 which was approved in the November, 1966, general election. Funds expended totaled $3,489.43, and the balance of $6,510.57 was to be returned to Forward Atlanta. This was accepted by the Board, and Mr. Rich requested the General Manager to write a letter of appreciation to Forward Atlanta on behalf of the Board. All financial reports are attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. Progress Reports: l. General Manager. The General Manager reported on his appearance before the Committee on the Study of State and Local Governments of the Georgia House of Representatives. The Committee recommended that the State provide 10% of the total cost of the rapid transit system. He referred to negotiations which he had carried on with representatives of developers in the gulch area and the L. & N. Railroad, relative to rapid transit plans in the gulch. It appeared that all plans for development of the gulch had taken into account the needs of the rapid transit system. After some discussion on the subject of handling the Authority's public information, particularly that part of it relating to financial considerations affecting local governments, it was agreed that all press releases prepared by the Authority's staff would be cleared with at least one member of the Board, preferably the Chairman or the Vice Chairman. 2. Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel. Mr. Coil reported on work which Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel had been carrying out during the past month. He said that the study of the north, northeast and east lines had been almost com- pleted. Right-of-way maps had been prepared for the esti- mator, who was working in San Francisco on preliminary cost estimates. The firm was negotiating with several companies for aerial photography of the system, and expected to acquire this photography at an early date. In the discussion which followed Mr. Coil's report, it was agreed that at the earliest possible time, members of the Board should inspect routes, alignments and station loca- tions recommended by the engineers, and that the highest governing authorities of the City of Atlanta - that is, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen - should be apprised of the recommendations of the engineers and the decisions on spe- cific route locations by the Authority. In order to acquire the necessary property within the city limits, it was essen- tial that the Board of Aldermen and the Authority be in agreement prior to public hearings which are required by law. 3. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates. Mr. Garcia reported that his firm had assembled data for Cobb County comparable to that which had been secured earlier for the other govern- ments. Meetings had been held with finance officers of DeKalb County, and similar meetings were planned with Fulton County and the City of Atlanta, to discuss recommendations in the reports which had been submitted to the Authority. The firm was assembling material explaining their research, and drafting the final report. Reappointment of Committees: The Board had established two committees in 1966. One was the Finance Committee, composed of Mr. Lane, Mr. Blount and Mr. Rich. A second was called the Financial Advisory Committee. This was the professional finance officers of the local governments. The reappointment of these committees was postponed. A vacancy appeared to exist on the Board since the Chairman had received a letter from Mr. Lane in which he stated that he was being forced to resign because of pressure of other work. Reappointment of Auditor: In accordance with provisions of the Rapid Transit Authority Act it was necessary to appoint an auditor annually. The Arthur Andersen Company was unanimously reappointed for 1967, at a fee of $300. Authorization to Execute Contracts: The General Manager requested authorization to execute a contract between the Authority and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide for the use of a grant of $396,333.00 under Section 9 of the Mass Transit Act of 1966. The grant had been ap- proved but the contract documents had not been received. He further requested authorization to execute a contract between the Authority and Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel for en- gineering work to be performed in accordance with the grant. Copies of this agreement had been circulated to members of the Board. Upon a motion by Mr. Haverty, seconded by Dr. Atwood, Mr. Stuart was authorized to execute both contracts at the appropriate times. The General Manager asked for authority to authorize, if necessary, the expenditure of $1,250.00 by Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel for a right-of-way expert, Mr. Charles H. Shaw of San Francisco, to assist him in matters relating to right-of-way acquisition pro- cedures. The General Manager also asked authorization to expend under the open-ended retainer agreement, an amount up to $2,000.00 for surveying work, if required, to stake out certain alignments in the vicinity of the Union Station and Terminal Station area, to coordinate rapid transit plans with air right development plans. Authority's Funds: At Mr. Haverty's suggestion it was decided that the question of distribution of the Authority's funds among local banks be left as a matter for the Finance Committee to work out with the General Manager.
