Public Invited to TSPLOST 'Wireside Chats'
Got questions about the transportation vote? Local officials plan to answer them via technology in June.
North Fulton residents are invited to join local officials and transportation experts by phone on June 6 to learn about the upcoming Regional Transportation Referendum on the ballot July 31.
Inspired by President Roosevelt’s "Fireside Chat" during World War II in which he detailed the progress of the war while citizens followed along at home using a world map, officials will field calls on June 6 at 6:15 p.m. They will discuss and answer questions about the projects on the list while participants follow along using a regional map.
Fulton Commissioner John Eaves and Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker have both confirmed they'll be on the call.
