Construction starts on Atlanta’s streetcar
Cool news on a project I’m very interested in — Midtown Atlanta Patch reports that construction begins tomorrow on the streetcar in downtown Atlanta. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will make an appearance to mark the occasion.
A quote:

“The return of the streetcar is one of the most welcomed developments for downtown Atlanta,” Midtown resident and journalist Maria Saporta wrote in November. “Based on the experience of a host of other U.S. cities, streetcars have sparked the rebirth of central areas by creating a pedestrian-oriented environment that encourages the reinvestment in downtowns.”

Electric streetcars ran all through the heart of Atlanta and out to its suburbs for almost 70 years, contributing immeasurably to the shape, growth and movement of the city.GET IT ATL
