Atlanta BeltLine Community Kickoff

Comments

[this is good]
Of course I don't know the particulars, but this is awesome! Its like American cities everywhere are starting to relearn the lessons of yesterday. Better late than never! I hope the will exists in Atlanta to make this work and work well.

Basically, Atlanta will construct a commuter trail that will circle the city. They will use mostly existing tracks or rights of way. This beltline will connect to all major arteries (interstate highways, toll roads, major streets, MARTA transit train and bus routes, etc.)

Much new mixed development is forecast to clean up these mostly dilapidated parts of the city. The bonuses one hopes is that fewer people will drive as far as they do now and therefore reduce greenhouse gases.
