Atlanta Mayor Franklin vows to make "the multimodal station, the Belt Line, the Peachtree Streetcar... affordable housing, parks... accessibility, MARTA... air quality, traffic congestion" a good part of her primary focus during the remainder of her time in office.

"Reinforcing her point, Franklin said the city wants a viable MARTA system, more development, more density and more parks. And just about everyone agrees that a strong region needs a healthy core."
