Residents voice transit frustrations; council seeks repairs and historical photos returned
Summary
Public commenters thanked Mayor Lampl for transit advocacy and criticized MARTA's track record; Cherie Crisp raised the missing historical photos issue, and Councilman Collins requested Public Works inspect a city-owned building to resolve repairs preventing tenant occupancy.
During the general comment period, members of the public addressed transit and local administrative matters. One audience member thanked Mayor Lampl for his advocacy on transit and another expressed longstanding frustration with MARTA's failure to deliver on prior commitments, saying he did not expect to see meaningful transit improvements in his lifetime.
Cherie Crisp asked about historical photographs of former Morrow mayors and other city history that were removed during a renovation and had not been rehung; Mayor Lampl said the items are in storage and a permanent display location is still under consideration. Separately, Councilman Wayne Collins reported a business-owner concern that prospective tenants (identified as Mr. and Mrs. Wade) could not occupy a city-owned building because of unresolved repairs and formally requested a Public Works walk-through to identify needed repairs so the city can begin collecting rent revenue.
