After thousands of in-person and online engagements with the public over the past two years, the Atlanta Beltline has rolled out its next round of draft recommendations, including a proposed path for its Northwest Atlanta transit corridor and proposed Beltline and MARTA transit stations.

A Tuesday evening virtual presentation showed attendees the potential future plans.

According to proposed plans, the Northwest Transit corridor would have eight stops — Donald Lee Hollowell; two on Marietta Boulevard; and stops on Howell Mill, Northside Drive, Peachtree Street and Collier Road at Piedmont Hospital and Armour Yards.
