Atlanta hasn’t seen a new rail project since the 2000s — MARTA is to finally build the first segment of rail on the Beltline as originally envisioned, by 2028. Let’s deep dive into why the project makes sense, and why its the most exciting project the city is doing this decade.

Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback on the last video! Way bigger than imagined! Appreciate all the new followers & subs, welcome :)
