      <![CDATA[imo, bigger picture, Beltline supporters would get a LOT more community support  if they came up with a name that does NOT sound like another highway. Part of the larger problem is the communication/marketing of the Beltline vision... most of Atlanta has never heard of the Beltline... of those that HAVE heard of it, half think it is more pavement, and the rest are not sure WHAT it is... and human nature is, no one is going to go out of their way to look it up... what's a Beltline?

      <![CDATA[People are questioning GDOTs and AMTRAKs motives here, citing the bizarre nature of their last minute fillings. I have not researched this myself, but it seems reasonable that there is some provision within the stimulus bill packages moving through the House and Senate that these agencies find to their liking.
