Transit Elements
The original focus of the BeltLine thesis was on establishing a light rail link around the central portion of the city. In Summer 2012, there was a referendum on whether or not a 1-cent sales tax (SPLOST) would have been implemented to fund traffic and road improvements. If approved, the tax would have funded several streetcar routes along portions of the BeltLine trail and connections onto MARTA stations and with the Downtown Loop streetcar. The sales tax did not pass.

It is through friendships that teenagers learn to take responsibility, provide support, and give their loyalty to non- family members. It is also in teenage friendships that young people find confidants with whom to share thoughts and feelings that they are not comfortable sharing with their parents. Such sharing becomes one of the elements of true intimacy, which will be established later.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
