BeltLine Begins

On Saturday, February 23, at 12:30pm in Rose Circle Park, the beginning of construction on the first part of the BeltLine will be formally celebrated in a groundbreaking ceremony!

The ceremony makes official the construction already begun on the West End Bike Trail. This segment will be completed later this year and is being positioned as the demonstration, or "show" mile for the entire 22 mile loop. Of course, future plans call for transit tracks running adjacent to the trail.

A-Train: Walk + Bike + Transit Trip Planner

Citizens for Progressive Transit have introduced an open source online mapping resource to help Atlanta residents plan car-free trips throughout the city either exclusively by foot, bike, or transit or via a combination of modes.

It's a sophisticated and useful tool for sure. Give the A-Train [Atlanta Transit Rider's Advocacy and Information Network] a test drive.
