It will NEVER be a world class street using the same old CAR FIRST and all else designed around that attitude.

Agree on all points.

Hizzoner has announced the remainder of the stations:

Krog, Boone, and Armour Yards are the other 3. Making a direct marta connection possible from each cardinal direction of the Beltline. A tangential benefit is now when the stations are built in these locations that they will now have access to the benefits of FAR bonuses and no parking minimums near the stations.

Good to hear! I wonder if the Boone station will be able to handle full-sized trains? I haven't heard much about the Bankhead platform expansion lately. Those two car trains must be a royal PITA
