Dear Earl:
I have received a letter from Robert Weaver concerning the
Department of Housing and Urban Development's sponsorship of a
conference on the theme "Design in Urban Transportation", This
is to be held in Washington at the Statler Hilton Hotel on May
22, 1967.
The conference is designed to inform government officials,
architects, engineers and planners concerned with the development of
urban transportation in order to explore the important role that
transportation design plays, not only in shaping our cities, but in
making them more attractive places in which to live and work.
As you know, I have been very concerned about the lack of involvement
of Atlanta government officials in transit planning so far. In that
Atlanta will be detailing its transit facilities between now and the
spring of 1968 and voting a bond issue to develop this system possibly in
the spring of 1969, I feel that a tremendous amount of work is on top
of us not - now five or ten years away.
For this reason, I feel that this conference could be very beneficial
to the Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee, Alderman Cook,
and myself. I have discussed this with Rodney and he feels as I do; he
can also make this time available.
I would like to request approval for the two of us to attend
this conference,
incerely,
