Express your thoughts to decision-makers and planners about the future of light rail transit on the Beltline NOW through Nov. 3!
Beltline rail got one step closer when Atlanta Beltline Inc. (ABI) finished its initial design for the 22-mile loop and the Crosstown West and Crosstown East Connector streetcars. They unveiled it to a packed house at Lee + White on September 3rd.
Now ABI wants YOU! Whether you attended or not, you can comment and help make Beltline rail happen—and happen better. When ABI says they take every survey seriously and read every single one, believe them! BUT HURRY, the DEADLINE is November 3rd!
Now, here's how to participate:

If you didn't attend the meeting or want a refresher, don't worry! You'll see the presentation as part of the feedback process, so you don't need to have been there in September.
If you attended the big meeting in person or online, go straight to the link that says "Leave Your Feedback."
On the upper right of the page, click "Join" to create an account. When you take the survey, you can stop and start, leave and come back, and save your progress. If you need to see the presentation again, you can go back to it.
If you already have an Atlanta Beltline (ABI) account, click "Login" from this page.
You can comment as you review the presentation by clicking on a location and leaving your comment.
It will take you between 10 and 20 minutes, on average, to speak your mind and give feedback. It may take longer if you're seeing the Beltline Transit Plan for the first time.
The plan resulted from a $3.5 million, 3-year-plus Beltline Transit Study by ABI analyzing every part of the Beltline that had not yet been studied beyond the 15% design stage. The unincluded areas are Streetcar East (already at 30%) and the Northeast section (studied by MARTA in 2020–2021). That leaves about 16 miles of the Beltline and 5 miles of Streetcar West through the AUC. And out of all this has come a real plan!
Keep the momentum behind Beltline rail by giving feedback NOW!
