With every urban development project comes conflict. Mayor Kasim reed announced this week that Atlanta has secured federal funding for a streetcar that will make some of its historical spots on Auburn Avenue, such as the Martin Luther King Center, more accessible to tourists who normally may not get past Peachtree Street.
This is great for Atlanta, but the devil is always in the details. Let’s hope the stakeholders in this project will find a way to resolve conflict swiftly so that everyone is happy when it is time to take the inaugural ride.
