But are they planning to do that? Wouldn't they need another referendum? Or did the first one give them that option?

I really don't remember any discussion of that.

It looks like Streetcar Extension East does. My question; What is Existing Streetcar Improvements? Dedicated lanes?

Do we have details on what the Bankhead station improvements are? Will they finally be making it a standard-length platform?

Why is Vine City broken out, but all other stations are in 1 lump? Why does Vine City need so much attention?

I'm guessing it has something to do with MBS traffic.

Does Bankhead need to be standard-length? It's the only separate station omniscience's the Green line, and doesn't even run the full length of the Blue line. It also has pretty low ridership, although apparently higher than Edgewood/Candler Park, King Memorial, or East Lake, which I find strange.

Is it? The line says "Station Enhancements: Bankhead/Five Points/Vine City/Others". Then there are four separate lines, one for each of those. Vine City is likely getting fixed up to better handle MBS crowds during Falcons and United games. Because right now, it ain't very good.

I’m probably one of the youngest on this thread and the last of these projects won’t even be finished when I’m 50, what’s with the long timelines? Can we not pump out multiple projects at once?

It would give some more flexibility on the Blue Line especially during events at MBS. Heck, they could even reroute the Blue Line to Bankhead and the Green Line to H.E. Holmes. Or extend the Green Line to Avondale. Or all of the above and run the Blue Line Indian Creek to Bankhead, and the Green line Avondale to H.E. Holmes.

That has been discussed. I don't know if it made the final plan.
