The two cities have a joint Livable Communities Initiative plan, but Alpharetta can't accept changes that contradict its land use plans or suggest tolls on GA 400 need to be accommodated.
Milton may be paying for the State Route 9 LCI Study and have 71 percent of the property within the study area, but Alpharetta City Council won't let adopting the plan make unwanted changes to its own land use plans. City Attorney Sam Thomas will develop a new resolution that adopts the LCI plan, but with some caveats suggested by Councilman Jim Gilvin during the Monday, June 11 workshop at Alpharetta City Hall. "It concerns me that instead of a list of what is being applied to our comprehensive land use plan, it's just kind of out there," the councilman said.

Milton and Alpharetta residents had another chance Thursday night at Milton City Hall to tell the cities' planners how they want to see the Highway 9-Deerfield Parkway area develop in the next 10 to 20 years. The more than 500 residents who have taken part in the Georgia 9 Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study so far have definite opinions on what should be done. The idea is to figure out "how do we shape our communities over the next five to 10 years in a way that's positive and meets the needs of the citizens," said Eric Bosman of Urban Collage, the consultant on the project. Bosman said the consultants quickly learned from local residents in October 2010 that "You can't treat Windward and Deerfield the same way you treat Highway 9." …

Have you seen how empty the buses are that crowd Hwy 9????? What a waste of money! And there are buses that run on other roads in Alpharetta with one or two people using them. It's utter nonsense. Furthermore, you can not ride Marta without running into something or someone with FOUL behavior. My son wants to take the train but every time we do, it's a frightening situation. Capitalism should … more ›
