Nah, the line still ends at Bankhead, the yellow dot is a new infill station at Boone.

Whoa, that's interesting... at first I was going to say it was one of the 'Connect Atlanta' streetcar routes, but it's not. At all.

That does look like a Green Line extension....

Green Line extension! Do it!

Looks like they would take the line along Proctor Creek, to West Highlands area. I like it.

There was a project in the Connect Atlanta plan to run LRT to West Highlands from Bankhead Station, BeltLine Loop, and/or Hollowell high capacity transit line.

Yeah, but that was a bit different than the MARTA line it looks like. You can see the city's design here, in the northwest corner:

I'm just saying. I doubt it's a Green Line extension, because the area is not dense enough to warrant a $300M/mile HRT line.

Be interesting for transit purposes to see a map for Atlanta like the attached one for Houston which shows renters/owners and the density.
