This spot in Atlanta looks abandoned, industrial, and a bit of a wasteland but it is right at the intersection of MARTA and the Southside Beltline. Hopefully, over the next 20 years, it will become a hub of commercial activity and affordable housing.

What QueensLink says about Atl Beltline Transit:
> What happens when you build the trails before the rails? You get Atlanta’s Beltline, a project which after two decades has still not added the rail.
> QueensWay and the Trust for Public Land know this and are trying to prove to elected officials that their anti-transit scheme is what residents want...

> Atlanta Beltline CEO Clyde Higgs just threw Eastside rail under the bus in an interview at WABE. Searching for real leadership on transit in Atlanta is proving to be very difficult.

Atlanta Beltline reveals updated transit plan, with ~$3.5bn for a light rail loop.

After a series of false starts and delays, the long awaited Atlanta Beltline segments 4 and 5 that will run behind Ormewood Park, and connect the Bill Kennedy to points south and west kicked back into gear last month. While the Beltline organization estimates Fall 2025 completion, it may slip again to Spring 2026.
The #Atlanta #Beltline is a rail-trail urbanism success story. It had a space specifically set aside for light rail, allowing people to traverse between clusters of transit-oriented development using multiple modes.
Yet, the city's mayor is getting cold feet putting in the streetcar, thanks to lobby groups funded by conservative & fossil-fuel dark money.
So Atlanta residents, please tell your council, #MARTA and the mayor to get this started, avoid delays and alternative boondoggles. #trains
Have you been longing for a rail-transit project from a by-gone era of when they cost <$100M/mi?
The streetcar Eastside extension into the #Atlanta #Beltline is a 2.7mi, $230M project that is on the cusp of being built, construction could start next year.
@nathandaven put out a great video on it, watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02y4_fd8jvY

Atlanta's mayor is sabotaging Beltline Rail... but why?
It has been raining hard in Atlanta this past weekend.

The ATL just awarded $1.75 million today for autonomous shuttles between the West End neighborhood and the Lee+White retail plaza on the Beltline trail.
