It is proposed to construct a rapid transit system (50-mile rapid rail) which will include 9 miles of subway, 16 miles of elevated rail and 25 miles of surface rail in Atlanta, Georgia. There will be 14 miles of new exclusive busway included in the system. The permanent environmental impacts for this project include some community disruption, family and business displacement and relocations, a few inappropriate land use changes, traffic intrusions, severence of neighborhoods, noise, and visual intrusions. Also, there will be acquisition of small amounts of parks and ecological areas. Short term adverse environmental effects will be temporary traffic disruption and utility, traffic congestion, community service disruptions, construction noises, dust, waste and spoil disposals and the relocation of 1381 families, 410 businesses, 11 industries and 8 public or quasi-public establishments.
