Opinion in Rough Draft Atlanta, 11/27/23:
Deliver transit on the BeltLine, for equity and all, just as we were promised
In 1995, I lived in Old Fourth Ward on John Wesley Dobbs and Sampson Street, in the lofts next to what is now Ladybird. I parked my car on the BeltLine right-of-way where the light rail lines will go. I’ve watched the entire city transform in the 3 decades since, with an emphasis on the area near the Eastside trail, where I have lived, worked, exercised, and played.
