Since the winter storm came in later than expected, I took the chance to try the #EUC on the #Beltline. I thought it would be a short trip, but ended up going from Ansley to Piedmont Park and on to Ponce City Market.
Got to see a bunch of great murals and graffiti! I was surprised to see so many people out in the park and on the beltline for such a cool and damp day.

A longer segment of this meeting will be broadcast on Atlanta News First later this fall.

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...

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. We CAN’T let that happen.

> 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.

Stopped while cycling yesterday to take some quick and dirty footage of the Wylie Street graffiti and murals.
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.
