Talk about the Belt Line
Georgia Conservancy’s Generation Green service group will host a talk Tues., Jan. 25, on the progress of Atlanta’s Belt Line. The Belt Line is a proposed 22-mile intown loop of streetcars or light rail linking 40 Atlanta neighborhoods, catering toward bikers and pedestrians, and spurring the creation of greenspace. Ryan Gravel, a Georgia Tech student who came up with the idea for the Belt Line (the idea later became the pet project of former Atlanta City Council President Cathy Woolard), will lead the discussion. Gravel will also describe Belt Line hikes that he plans to lead to let citizens tour the ongoing project.
Georgia Conservancy’s Generation Green Belt Line lecture will be held from 7:30-10 p.m. at Red Light Cafe, 553 Amsterdam Ave. Free. For more info, visit www.gaconservancy.org.??
