The AJC offers a thorough meditation on the state of mass transit in Atlanta following last year's T-SPLOST kerplunk, including updates on the streetcar, which the newspaper initially lambasted as a waste of money. Most interesting is talk of Mayor Reed's behind-the-scenes jockeying for Beltline cash. Quoth the AJC: "The planned rail component of the Beltline, far from sinking to oblivion after the T-SPLOST, is the subject of intense talks for innovative private funding, and is even sprouting new proposed lines."
