The city is wanting to marry one of the best things it’s ever done, the Beltline,
with one of the worst things it’s ever done, the streetcar.
- Fred Duncan, Old 4th Ward Resident

I feel compelled to say something...
I believe it is a mistake to extend the streetcar to the Beltline and on to the Beltline... 
I cannot vote for it...
-Jim Durrett. MARTA Director (23 April 2023)

The Beltline is an incredible thing.
If you put a train down there, what's that going to do?! What's the impact?
William Floyd, MARTA Director (23 April 2023)
