No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Atlanta BeltLine is a $2.8 billion tax allocation project providing a network of public works, multi-trails, and transit along a 22-mile railroad corridor circling downtown and connecting 45 neighborhoods. It is also a $2.8 billion project that will result in many serious financial problems for the City of Atlanta and its taxpayers in the midst of an economic recession. The city’s own feasibility study prepared by a committee chaired by the highly-respected Dr. Catherine Ross, Director of the Center for Quality Growth & Regional Development, Georgia Tech, covers ridership, costs, and technical considerations of the BeltLine.
