Matching Gift Programs Help Donors Multiply Their Own Giving

 

We’re grateful to have received several matching gifts in recent months by residents and their employers.  “Matching Gift” programs exist at many companies and are a great way to increase your own contribution to LLCC – you donate a dollar, they donate a dollar. Oftentimes, even companies which do not have established matching programs remain equally eager to participate if asked. If you’d like help arranging a gift with your own employer, please don’t hesitate to contact us at treasurer@lindberghlavista.org.


LLCC is a 501(c)(3) public charity, and all gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative Announces Locally Preferred Alternative

 

MARTA Planning staff have completed the review of community feedback and technical analysis and have finalized a recommended locally preferred alternative (LPA) for the Clifton Corridor.  The LPA is the alternative that, based on technical analysis and stakeholder input, would most effectively address the needs of the corridor and goals and objectives of the project. The LRT 1 Alternative has been identified as the recommended LPA (see attachment), which includes 8.8 miles of new light rail service from Lindbergh Center Station in north-central Atlanta to Avondale Station in west-central DeKalb County.  The alternative includes 10 light rail station platforms and would provide direct service to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Emory University and Hospital, and the DeKalb Medical Center.  Further, the alternative would provide an alternative means for high-capacity evacuation from the CDC in the event of an emergency situation.

MARTA Planning staff will present the LPA recommendation to the MARTA Planning and External Relations Committee on March 26 at 10:00 a.m. and to the MARTA Board on April 9 at 1:30 p.m.  We hope that your schedule will allow you to attend.   Public comment will only be permitted at the April 9 Board meeting.  Both meetings will be held at:

MARTA Headquarters
6th Floor Board Room
2424 Piedmont Road NE
Atlanta, GA 30324

(Adjacent to the Lindbergh Center MARTA Rail Station on the Red and Gold Lines)

Upon MARTA Board approval, we will present the LPA to the Atlanta Regional Commission for adoption and incorporation into the long-range transportation plan.  Afterwards, the LPA will be advanced through the next step in the federal project development process which is the completion of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the MARTA Project Manager, Jason Morgan at 404.848.4494 or by email at jmorgan@itsmarta.com.

From Blueprints to Green Space




Hooray to the people in this community for acting on what you want!

I checked the results of The Lindbergh LaVista Blueprints for Successful Communities Study, and topping the desires list is more accessible green space and better creek protection.

Already over a mile of trails along the tributaries to Peachtree Creek are getting good use from human and canine feet.

Trails are sprouting through the community, and folks are donating energy  for building trails and parks.

Park Pride is making a big investment in this part of town with two big offerings: first, a survey of what people want and where they live.  Please take a few seconds to answer these questions. It will make a difference in how fast more green space access arrives.

Survey click here.

And second, come to one, or all of the four public meetings to get your voice heard for future green space trails and protection.

The Lindbergh LaVista Corridor Coalition

The Lindbergh LaVista Corridor Coalition is a 501(c)(3) public non-profit corporation comprised of concerned residents and businesses of Lindridge-Martin Manor, LaVista Park, and Woodland Hills. We have completed a 30-year visionary study and now plan to fund, adapt, and implement certain ideas from that Blueprints for Successful Communities Study that we determine are feasible.

To do this, we are bringing in outside expertise of the international urban design firm Perkins+Will to help us first develop a Strategic Plan and Urban Design Guidelines for the community.

Our goal is for our actions to have a positive influence on the changes that face us, now and in the future.
