Melton Park is our neighborhood's gateway to the South Peachtree Creek Trail. Neighbors play an invaluable role in planting and nurturing native plant species that attract birds, butterflies, and many other types of wildlife. You and your family can make it on foot all the way to Mason Mill Park and beyond via Melton Park.

Join us to keep our neighborhood park vibrant!

MARTA - Modified Options for Clifton Corridor
Bus link to Emory/CDC proposed
MARTA's plan to connect Emory, CDC, and the VA to Lindbergh station moves forward with NEW proposals that include Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) options. Buses running from Lindbergh to the proposed Clairmont station would run on dedicated lanes within the CSX rail corridor.

Emory representatives recently expressed optimism that a MARTA connection of this type will arrive!
Transit plans like this are slow moving creatures, but they clearly offer fundamental changes and improvements to traffic patterns around our neighborhood. You have several options to learn more details and provide your input and suggestions.

MARTA is offering two in-person sessions this week and online opportunities after that. Click the images below to register for either of the in-person sessions:
