The Beltlane is a high-speed lane for wheeled vehicles that runs parallel and separate from the original Beltline path.

The Eastside Beltline is among the most trafficked footpaths in Atlanta, and at times of high usage, the mix of speeds between walkers, joggers, bikers, and motorized vehicles creates a dangerous environment that increases collisions. As the Beltline will only grow more popular in the coming years, it is advantageous to immediately construct a high-speed vehicle lane that will increase overall efficiency and safety for all users

No, while the idea of a separate path has been kicked around for years, Mayor Andre Dickens' move to kill the Streetcar extension leaves a right of way that the Beltlane can be built on. However, our group will support the swift return of the Beltlane right of way for any public transit projects that are approved and constructed.
