Atlanta Beltline

[dabigstigGT]

I have some friends who have Ryan Gravel for an adviser in architecture at GT and apparently the politicians have killed the original idea. The land grabs by developers and corruption of city government have made the proposal impossible to implement at this point. Now that the city is millions in debt and TADs are not possible, the public transit portion of this proposal looks like it will not be implemented.

Though do look for a lot more multimodal transportation proposals, since the feds are going to start giving more grants and money to an interstate rail infrastructure (to try to minimize oil demands...in combination with the new mpg regulations)...this will either be announced as a last hurrah by bush, or by whoever is elected into office.
