After many years of studies, plans, and talks, the project is ready to come out of engineering and into final design and construction. We’d like to celebrate that while making it clear to our leaders and the media that the support for Atlanta’s project remains strong.
The Streetcar East Extension includes the first 1.4 miles of rail on the BeltLine to Ponce City Market.
It’s one of 9 top-priority More MARTA transit projects, and the only rail project.
NIMBYs and anti-transit actors have been aggressive in their efforts to abandon the plan. Our city leaders and MARTA need to hear and see that the vast majority still support the BeltLine’s efforts to improve equity & access for ALL Atlantans.
BeltLine Rail Now will be at the corner of Krog St and Spruce St NE at 12pm on Saturday, April 29, to provide T-shirts as a thank-you for a $25 credit card donation.
We will also bring signs for anyone wishing to join the parade.
Join the fun & show your support for rail along the BeltLine. BRN is pushing for improvements to the look and functionality of this important project!
