Want to get involved in the Beltline? A variety of citizen participation opportunities exist for anyone to provide input into how the Beltline will take shape. For updated meeting dates and locations please visit www.beltline.org or call (404) 614-8300.
Study Groups are the primary way for anyone to participate in the Beltline. Study Groups were created by City Council to enable direct input on the planning, implementation, and design of Beltline projects over the 25-year life of the Beltline. There are five Study Groups around the Beltline (N, NE, SE, SW, W), and they have standing meeting times and locations. Study Groups focus on topics ranging from park design to transit planning, depending on the projects and activities currently underway. At the present time, the primary focus is to support Master Planning of the Beltline's ten Sub Areas.

Quarterly Briefings are city-wide meetings held to provide an overview and update of Beltline activities and are held at a minimum of four times a year. These briefings are advertised broadly throughout the Atlanta area. Briefings for the remainder of 2008 are scheduled as follows: April 17, July 10, and October 16.
Master Planning Office hours are designed so that community groups can schedule a time to meet with Atlanta Beltline, Inc. planners to discuss the draft Master Plans before they are submitted for final approval. Beltline Master Plans include detailed land-use, transportation, and park plans around the Beltline. We have not yet determined the final dates for office hours. Please continue to check the website to determine the Office Hour schedules for each Sub Area.
City-wide conversations will provide a forum to develop the Beltline vision for specific issues requiring more in depth dialogue from different perspectives. Specific issues might range from transit supportive development to housing affordability. Please continue to check the website for the first city-wide conversation on transit supportive development.
A city-wide open house will provide the opportunity to comment on plans and ask questions in an informal public forum. Open houses will share plans and concepts for topics ranging from Beltline parks to transit. The first city-wide open houses will highlight Westside Reservoir Park to be located on the site of the Bellwood Quarry.
The community is represented on several Beltline boards and committees by neighbors that have been appointed by Beltline, Inc., City Council, Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Commission, the Mayor, and community groups. These boards and committees are listed below. Please check the website to see a list of the membership for these organizations:
- Master Planning Steering Committees for 6 of the 10 Sub Areas around the Beltline
- Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee ("TADAC")
- Beltline Affordable Housing Advisory Board ("BAHAB")
