In Atlanta’s TIGER Bid, Innovative “Beltline” Takes Backseat to Streetcar
For years, the city of Atlanta has been developing ambitious plans to
connect its radial transit lines with a circular "beltline." As
envisioned, the $2.8 billion project would include 22 miles of light
rail and recreational amenities, circling the central city, taking
advantage of existing freight lines. For now, however, those plans are
getting less attention from city leaders than a 2.6-mile streetcar line
that would serve as an east-west connector for downtown.
