NPU F rejects Beltline proposal for 10th and Monroe
Residents say 'nein' to more density at bustling intersection
After months of heated meetings, sitdowns and redesigns, Neighborhood Planning Unit F members on Monday night hoisted pink Post-It notes of disapproval in the air and voted overwhelmingly to reject the Beltline's proposed vision for Northeast Atlanta.
Armed with legal opinions, mocked-up photos and fact sheets, residents of Morningside, Piedmont Heights and Virginia-Highland packed the Hillside Facility on Monroe Drive to exercise their Maynard-given right and weigh in on the hot-button issue.
In doing so, residents joined several other neighborhood associations in opposition to the plan. Monday night's final vote tallied 99-7, with four residents abstaining. Beltline officials were visibly discouraged.
