The $8.5 billion ballot initiative includes a set project list of regional transportation projects with 15% of the funding dedicated to local jurisdictions for local transportation priorities. The regional list includes a 10.2 mile transit project in the City of Atlanta that includes parts of the Atlanta BeltLine and Streetcar.
Featured speakers include:
- Norcross Mayor Bucky Johnson
- Atlanta City Councilman H. Lamar Willis
- Kevin Ross and Paul Bennecke of the Metro Atlanta Voter Education Network

The Quarterly Briefing will be held at Trees Atlanta, 225 Chester Ave, Atlanta, GA 30316 from 6 to 8 p.m.
I am excited about the Beltline coming to Atlanta. As a resident of Atlanta I definitely look forward to alternative transportation options coming to the city. The Beltline project is exactly what is needed for Atlanta.
