News Beltline video tour with Angel Poventud
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 6:18 PM
Sure, you've heard about the Beltline and how it'll boast sleek streetcars, new parks and winding multi-use trails circling Atlanta's urban core. Critics say it will never get off the ground and supporters say it'll change the city forever. But it's a tough bugger to grasp if if you've never seen the areas the $2.8 billion project will impact.
Beltline volunteer and all-around good guy Angel Poventud agreed to lead CL's Tara-Lynne Pixley and Benjamin Vanhorn on a tour of key spots along the proposed 22-mile loop of parks, trails and transit.

I see some very pretty natural areas along the Beltline in this video. It would be a shame if they were to all get developed. This info is probably on web somewhere but I'm too lazy to look right now -- do you know of anything in the Beltline plan that stipulates a certain amount of the area around it be left as natural, green, leafy, undeveloped prettyness? I'm hoping 'greenspace' doesn't mean a strip of grass planted where trees were torn down.
