MARTA seeks input on the alternatives for the Beltline and C-Loop transit concepts!
The Beltline concept envisions a transit corridor and linear park woven through the city connecting MARTA stations and numerous neighborhoods. The C-Loop proposes connecting sections of DeKalb County, downtown Atlanta, the Atlanta University Center, the west side of Downtown and Emory University. Through extensive public input and technical work, the MARTA Inner Core Transit Feasibility Study has identified a set of transit alternatives for the Beltline and CLoop concepts. Those alternatives are now being studied and evaluated for their feasibility. For additional information and to find out about public participation and input opportunities, visit http://www.itsmarta.com/newsroom/icbelt.htm
