Mayoral candidates to discuss Atlanta Beltline Wednesday
Supporters of light rail on the Atlanta Beltline have been pressing mayoral candidates for details on how they’d complete the 22-mile light transit loop. On Wednesday they’ll press some of them for answers at a public forum.
The online forum “What’s Your Plan? – Atlanta Mayoral Candidates Go Deep on Housing & Transit” will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Three of the leading candidates – Antonio Brown, Andre Dickens and Felicia Moore – will participate.
The forum is sponsored by Beltline Rail Now, Neighbors for More Neighbors Atlanta, Thread ATL and YIMBY Action. You can register to attend here.
Fourteen candidates are vying to become Atlanta’s next mayor. You can learn more about the race here.
The top five candidates recently spoke with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution about their transportation priorities. You can learn more about those issues here.
