In recent weeks GDOT & Amtrak intervened to halt the abandonment of the NE Beltline Rail Corridor which runs through Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Freedom Park, Midtown, Piedmont Park and elsewhere. They seek to preserve the right to run high speed heavy passenger trains on this track. Your IPNA Board believes that these actions will not only destroy efforts to develop the Beltline, but also that the noise, pollution and the industrial nature of heavy rail would be devastating to our vibrant historic neighborhood and those around us. Sign our petition to register your opposition for city, state and federal leaders. Please note, a donation is not necessary to sign. Check the Inman Park blog for more information and updates at http://blog.inmanpark.org. We fought a road that tried to divide us; let's join together again and fight this effort to ruin what we have all worked to hard to preserve!

The noise would be unbearable. We worked so hard to make this neighborhood a place for families and walking not for heavy freight trains to rattle our houses all day long.

Seriously? We just finally got the beltline looking nice and now they want to ruin it with this. No way.

Ridiculous idea. It will kill all the local business and wreck the parks.

KEEP IT OUT. This is suppose to be for people. The beltline is for bikes and walking not for high speed trains. Leave our neighborhood alone!

My kids play right by those tracks. Think about the safety issues before you destroy our community for a train that nobody asked for.
