As a Kool-Aid-drinking Decaturite, I’m always interested in the latest and greatest variations of “smart growth” developments that pop up around Atlanta.  As such, I was interested to hear that the big daddy project of them all has a new website.   Atlanta’s Beltline Project has just launched a more user-friendly site with a lot of familiar colorful pictures, maps and mockups.

While a lot of people doubted whether such a large project would ever get out of the planning stages, numerous acquisitions by the city (ie. Bellwood Quarry) seem to be moving the project forward.  The closest the line would come to Decatur would be down along Ponce/North near the Carter Center.

Additionally, if you haven’t heard the local WABE interviews with key figures involved with the Beltline, check them out here.
