ATLANTA STREETCAR
DELAYED UNTIL
NOVEMBER
The Atlanta Streetcar won’t be open
to the public until November. Cost
overruns, weather, relocating utilities,
mandatory testing and, most recently,
issues with the overhead cable system,
have continually pushed the opening
back from spring to summer and now
autumn.
Last month, the Atlanta City
Council voted to provide $1 million
a year in startup, operational and
maintenance costs for the Atlanta
Streetcar. The council also voted 9-1 to
charge riders $1 per one-way trip.
The 2.7-mile streetcar, which will
ferry riders from Centennial Olympic
Park to the King Center and back,
broke ground in 2012 and is projected
to cost $100 million.
Testing of the cars on the tracks,
which was supposed to begin in April,
was pushed back to later this month
and the Federal Transit Administration
and Georgia Department of
Transportation still have to sign off on
the project. OS
