Tunnels under Oakhurst.

Marta has proposed six ways to extend rail service to the east, and that's one of them. Under this plan, a line would go from the East Lake Marta station east to I-20, tunneling under parts of Oakhurst along the way.

The Decatur City Commission voted 5-0 Monday night to support a different Marta plan -- the so-called I-20 project -- but members spent most of the time talking about the Oakhurst tunnel plan, officially called HRT2.

"I think it's important for us to put a stake in the ground," said Commission member Kecia Cunningham. "It's our duty to look at this for the citizens of Decatur."
