Hello Mr.Yalouris

Beltline would be a great access to all communties & Carver Hills Community . Proctor Creek in my Community has turned into a trash dump. My Neighborhood & friends aren’t nice to nature. Can’t wait to see a cleanup come and help us, help the Beavers & there friends.

Cathy, Thanks for the great article. Fred Yalouris is an asset to the city. I hope the Beltline maintains, and gains momentum. I truly believe if the project is done correctly it has the potential to change the DNA of our city. I am also confident with current Beltline leadership the vision gets closer to reality everyday!

Lisa, The Beltline arts fest will get its own post. I didn’t want to bury it in a longer article.

Surprised this article didn’t mention the temporary art project “Art on the Beltline” that is planned for this summer?

Thanks Eli. My apologies to the artists involved in the first project. Didn’t mean to poo-poo the art, I think the use of utility poles perpetuates the disrespect for sign ordinances. I do join in your praise for the Beltline team efforts to join art, greenspace and transit.

“Eyesores”? really? I absolutely love both Beltline Art projects. It’s a constant reminder to me of the presence of the Beltline all around the city. The chance for ANYONE to design a piece of public art was unique and empowering. Yeah they may not all be priceless masterpieces, but art is whatever you want it to be. There’s no way misplaced campaign signs and unsightly billboards should be mentioned alongside the Beltline Art Project. Plus much larger scale art projects that will PAY ARTISTS are in the works as I type!

Thank you Wonderroot, Beltline, Fred, and Angel for all that you’ve done and continue to do as proponents of art, greenspace, and progressive transit our home!

The Beltine has a great opportunity to change the face of Atlanta and become a leader in what public art can do for community pride and enjoyment. I hope they can turn around the current public art policy, which is basically “We Buy Houses” , “Carpet Cleaning” and illegally placed campaign signs littering the parks, right of ways, greenspaces and on off ramps of our city. Hopefully the next Beltline art project will not be a bunch of eyesores tack up on utility poles around the city. Step it up folks!

I hope there will be many opportunities for “Local Artists” to be involved in public Art projects including bus shelters, paving and sidewalks, fountains and neighborhood driven visual art.
