Atlanta BeltLine Southwest + Southeast Study Group Public Meeting – Subarea 2 Master Plan Update

March 12, 2019

885B81F0-F720-45A2-ADCC-89491CCED995

The purpose of this meeting is to share findings from previous public meetings and the draft final recommendations for land use (e.g. mixed use, housing, commercial services), mobility (e.g. trails, sidewalks, bikes, transit), parks and greenspace in BeltLine Subarea 2.

In 2007, master planning began by looking at the one-half mile on either side of the Atlanta BeltLine corridor to create a framework to support future growth and transit in the corridor. There are 10 distinct subarea masterplans for the Atlanta BeltLine and they are subject to periodic review and adoption by City Council.
