Sorry to be picky, but the downtown streetcar is 2.6 miles and $70 million, according to the city of Atlanta website.

I don’t know what this means, but it sounds fascinating.

There is also the expectation that the Georgia State student community (including the growing contingent who live on campus) will make use of the streetcar.

Depending on price and schedule I will ride it regularly from MLK to my job in Fairlie-Poplar. I live within walking distance of the MLK center.

I have to agree. I was recently at a conference at the World Congress Center that drew attendees from all over the world. To my surprise, people were actually going out at lunch and in the evening looking for places to eat, things to do, and places to hang out. Meanwhile, as a resident, I would zoom in via MARTA from my Decatur nest and zoom back, never even considering the idea that I could do something Downtown. Build and they will come may truly apply to Intown Atlanta. And if building for the visitors results in a more active, fun Intown, all the better for us in Decatur since we can access a lot by MARTA.
