Planners: Develop Hulsey Yard with mixed-use and green space

Catch up quick: The 96-page report (PDF) explores the project's progress and highlights what ideas from the original study have come to fruition (Shirley Franklin Park, for example) or not (a 2-acre park on a city-owned parcel with skyline views in Reynoldstown).

Zoom in: Specific recommendations include:

🏡 Expand the Beltline's policy requiring developers to build affordable housing or pay into a trust fund across the city.

🗑️ Convert the capped Gun Club landfill into a city park.

💵 Consider whether the city should extend the lifespan of the tax allocation district that has funded Beltline trails, parks, public art, and more.

🌳 Build the South River Forest, a network of green spaces stretching from south DeKalb County into southeast Atlanta.

The intrigue: The report focuses on the Beltline's public realm, George Dusenbury, TPL's Georgia director, told Axios. It does not include any recommendations about whether transit should run on the Beltline.
