Leon Eplan, FAICP, former Director of Georgia Tech's City Planning program from 1981 to 1983, claims that plans for a modern streetcar in Atlanta represent the first step to accommodating the region's projected growth over the next two decades. "Last year, the region registered an additional 13,000 cars," Eplan writes, adding that a comprehensive streetcar system will provide the best opportunity for non-drivers to commute to work without an automobile.
