| Abstract | The focus of this report is on the assessment-forecasting relationship, namely, how to assess impacts and then to illustrate how those actual impacts could have been forecast. This report presents a case study conducted in Decatur, Georgia, in order to assess the disruptive effects associated with the construction of rapid transit tunnels for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) East Line. This case study has three objectives: (1) to pilot test the assessment methodology developed, (2) to refine the methodology as a forecasting tool; and (3) to develop mitigation procedures. A socio-economic profile of Decatur is presented. Impacts of the construction are considered, both in general and specific terms. |
