Secretary's bus tour stops in Georgia

16 April 2014

Atlanta!  Fast-growing Southern city with a visionary mayor.  We saw the Atlanta BeltLine, a project that is transforming the definition of beltways.  Today, it is a bike/ped trail following alongside the city's inner loop.  But they're preserving right of way for a parallel streetcar extension.  It's already attracting $1B in private investment & bringing new residents into downtown Atlanta.  What is also really neat is how they are extending the BeltLine into historically underserved areas & improving quality of life.

Best,

Anthony
