We'll send you into the weekend with another dose of interesting BeltLine content. As part of their efforts to promote the positive effects the passage of T-SPLOST would have on moving the BeltLine along, the BeltLine blog published a great post explaining how modern streetcar or light rail transit on the southwest side of town would- traveling on existing, abandoned rail corridor- link multiple residential neighborhoods like West End and Westview with key shopping amenities, BeltLine trails and the Gordon White Park, to name just a few. While the BeltLine's future doesn't necessarily depend on the passage of T-SPLOST, it's difficult to argue how important both the funds and message that would delivered by a "Yes" win are to the BeltLine's mission.
