Public Workshop 2 - Held October 23, 2007 (What Improvements Should Be Made?)
A second public workshop was held at Mt. Pisgah UMC on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Like the first, this workshop was held at two separate times: once from 11:00am until 1:00pm, and again from 4:00pm until 8:00pm. Again, the same information was presented at both sessions. Approximately 153 citizens attended the workshop, including local officials and representatives from the cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Atlanta, and Fulton County.
Advertising outlets and methods for this workshop were similar to those for the first: citizen phone calls, calls to local homeowners’ associations, flyers, reminder cards delivered via regular mail, e-mails, signs placed along the project corridor, local government website advertising, project website advertising, and a press release.
Unlike the first workshop, where a blank slate was presented, three conceptual alternatives—C1, C3 & T— were displayed for the public’s consideration and comment at this event. Traffic analysis results detailing intersection and roadway operation for all alternatives were made available to the public, including analysis of the existing roadway facility and the “no-build” scenario, where no action is taken as well as Alternatives M1 & M2. Handouts designed to gauge public acceptance or rejection of different potential solutions were distributed. Attendees were asked to view all conceptual alternatives and then indicate which alternative was they deemed “best” for each of the eighteen road sections (divided by major cross streets along Old Alabama) under consideration for improvement.
