Milton and Alpharetta residents have one more crack tonight at helping to create a plan to shape the future of the corridor along GA 9 from Bethany Bend south to Mayfield and east to GA 400–and including Deerfield Parkway. Milton City Hall will host the fourth and final meeting of the GA 9 Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study. This 6 p.m. public meeting will bring to an end the study's public workshop process. The study is funded by a $100,000 LCI grant (with a $25,000 city match) awarded to Milton by the Atlanta Regional Commission in February 2011. Alpharetta is included in the study area and is participating in the LCI with Milton. The LCI draft plan is intended to determine strategies linking transportation improvements with land-use…

The building blocks help residents visualize lives.
A dozen Milton and Alpharetta residents used children's blocks Wednesday night to show what they want to see built in the Hwy. 9 to GA 400 Livable Centers Initiative study area. The blocks were positioned on top of aerial photographs of sections of the study area to show where they want to see residential, office or retail development to happen, and how much of it they think should be built. It was the third of four public information meetings on the LCI study Milton's consultants are holding. Dan Shaw of Alpharetta, who lives within the LCI area in a development off Cogburn Road between its intersections with Hwy. 9 and Windward Parkway, across from Cogburn Road Park, likes the process so far. "I think they are doing a great job of …

Two words in an LCI presentation cause uproar in election, Milton City Council work session.
Milton City Councilman Alan Tart called a city consultant to task Monday night over letting two words in a report become politicized in last week's municipal elections–an election that Tart and fellow incumbent Julie Zahner Bailey lost. Not sustainable. That's how a few experts consulted in the city's Hwy. 9 Livable Communities Initiative (LCI) study described the city's 84 percent residential to 14 percent commercial property tax digest. Do you think this issue cost incumbents their City Council seats in Milton's municipal election? Add your thoughts at the end of this story. Eric Bosman of Urban Collage, who heads the LCI study, was invited to City Hall to answer questions. He said the word choice was insensitive, but it was important to…
