Take heart, ye weary travelers. Help is on the way, though it may take a while to get here.
Cities in north Fulton County are combining to do a broad study on how to relieve congestion, improve traffic flow and perhaps consider expanding MARTA to the Northside.
The $1.25 million analysis, funded largely through the Atlanta Regional Commission, will begin in January, and probably will conclude around mid-2010. Its conclusions will help drive where transportation money is spent.
The study is being done across the five major cities in north Fulton County to give planners a broader look at what has to happen to improve transportation across multiple jurisdictions.
Among the key topics:
• What can be done with Ga. 400?
• How can other large roads be improved?
• What land uses would support improvements?
• How — and if — MARTA service could be expanded.
About $1 million is being funded through ARC, and the remaining $250,000 is being divided among the five cities according to population. The five cities are Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek and Milton.

Definitely extend MARTA to all the upscale, high dollar, subdivisions and estates in Milton.
