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.
