Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney remains optimistic while MARTA studies East Line "MARTA has wonderful engineers and finding a route to relieve conjestion in South DeKalb is not rocket science"
February 15, 2000
Decatur--Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney praised the MARTA Board of Directors for their approval of the three rail line extensions currently being under consideration. While the Board prioritized the West and North lines before the East line extension, the Congresswoman noted that "it is good to see MARTA growing. All of these areas are in need of increased transportation options." MARTA must not neglect South DeKalb. "Seems to me, MARTA is exponding to serve people who don't pay MARTA taxes at the expense of those of us who do," observed McKinney. "I know of no place where rail service is more important," Congresswoman McKinney stated. "This is an area that has historically been underserved, and now, while the area is witnessing unprecedented growth, the need for rail service now is more important than ever." Congresswoman McKinney concluded. |
