Recycle, Re-use, Reduce
I just got a email about attending a Sierra Club meeting in Atlanta about The Beltline Project. This project would convert unused rail tracks that encircle midtown/downtown and create a low-impact local transit/park/path system to give inner-Atlanta residents a reason to not drive. This idea has been floating around for a while. Those of us in Atlanta know these tracks and sometimes walk along them in Piedmont Park or by North Ave. Can you imagine being able to walk/ride a bike/rollarblade/ take a trolley to get to the park or go to Ru San's or just get to a local Marta station. This system would make Atlanta a travel/tourist friendly location again, let people walk through the city and feel connected to rest of it.
Everyone bitches about public transit and park systems, here is a way to do something about it.
