It seems that the big division over the beltline is whether it should be a park or a street. I was not impressed by the vision presented by the BAT representatives in this GPB story. I don't know if it's a good representation of their arguments, but don't see anything better on their website.
If we want more nature in the city (as they claim), we need to make space by reducing car dependence. Mass transit makes sense when embedded in pedestrian-centered pathways; it's near useless when embedded in car-centric areas. In this view, the beltline serves as an example of how streets can be structured and creates flexibility by reducing car traffic on neighboring streets.
If these guys want to see transit bringing people to the beltline, we need to build out several other pedestrian-centered destinations that are worth connecting to, and reallocate car space to mass transit, without first changing street usage patterns by building beltline rail.

Louisiana offers model of voting restoration for Mississippi – but not without complications, advocates say
As advocates and lawmakers in Mississippi look for ways to push automatic restoration in the state, Louisiana offers a model for compromise. But, advocates there say their system comes with trade-offs as well.
So Donald #Trump is cutting and running from the Middle East with his tail between his legs. Got it.
