The City of Atlanta is scrambling to acquire the rights-of-way of a portion of the Beltline's Southwest Trail to avoid losing a boatload of federal funding, according to the Saporta Report. The city plans to condemn an unspecified amount of property so the project doesn't squander an $18 million TIGER V grant. The requisite legislation is expected to pass at today's city council meeting. [SR]
