Atlanta Streetcar Progress

ATLove · #1 Posted **Apr 14, 2011, 6:37 PM**

Does anyone know how construction of the Alanta Streetcar is progressing?

Construction will not begin on the first line until this Fall. It will be complete some time near the end of 2012 or early 2013.

The latest edition of Streets Alive will be on the streetcar route. Auburn and Edgewood will both be closed to motorized vehicles and opened to walkers, bikers, joggers, pogo-stickers, etc...
Saturday, June 11th starting at 10:30AM (and repeating on June 25th)

It was set for an April completion date but it got moved to May I believe. I do not recall hearing anything about it being pushed passed May. They will also offer free rides for the first few months.

This is going to be a very busy area, I can see it now and I wont be surprise if a another developer comes around with something creative,like this development but even probably start a building boom or the big BOOM We waiting for this area or maybe even the city, you think??
