You may know that the Chattanooga Area Regional Transit Authority (CARTA) operates a free shuttle that serves downtown, the North Shore, St. Elmo, and the Incline Railway. The current route was developed in the early 1990’s and beyond the recent addition of the North Shore Express, it has remained relatively unchanged since that time. CARTA is “re-imagining” the shuttle routes and service and needs your help! Whether you are a daily user of the shuttle of have never hopped on for a ride, CARTA wants to hear from you!
Please see the attached graphic that includes a QR code and a clickable link to an interactive map and a survey. If you have specific ideas to improve the shuttle, the interactive map will allow you to drag and drop pins to locations and provide ideas and thoughts to improve service. Also, in the lower right corner of the map is a button that will take you to a short survey, requiring only about 5 minutes of your time. Also, it would be great if after taking the survey, you share this e-mail with friends, family, and co-workers as well.
As a community, we have an opportunity to improve how the shuttle benefits residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Thank you for taking the time to help “re-imagine” how the CARTA shuttle can best serve our community !
Strap on your jetpacks! In our final trip to the future of Montague Park, we end our journey with a flyover of the entire park. We begin our flight on the southern end of the park looking northwest, where we soon descend to get a better view of the athletic fields. Descending further as we turn to the north, we see the extent of the Polk Street improvements and the Civic Edge.
We turn to hover over the expansive Great Lawn and outdoor gathering area that connects to a series of open lawn galleries carved out of native meadow and drifts of woodlands. From there we get an overview of the Sculpture Fields, with many recognizable sculptures shown from above. As we circle around and fly south, we are given a full view of the Heart’s immersive and wooded ridges, play valleys, and bridge crossings with the athletic fields beyond. And finally, we end our journey touching down in the center of the Great Lawn, looking up at Peter Lundberg’s iconic “Anchors” sculpture.
*Sculptures shown are place holders, final sculpture locations to be determined in coordination with Sculpture Fields at Montague Park.
