I rarely walked to Atlantic Station but there is a shuttle bus that you can take. West Midtown is booming right now but that part of town needs public transit access. The closest one to there is Bankhead station.

Is there an update for the light rail around the beltline?

I'd assume corner groceries are popular at UT, vs. everything coming from supermarkets?

For comparison purposes, the UW in Seattle has a new Safeway that just opened in one direction (apartments above) and a QFC in another. Another Safeway just closed next to the QFC (to the right in the aerial) and 700 apartments are planned.

PS re: that point about 1/4 students having cars...that's not a high bar. Around the UW it's routine to build public dorms or private student housing with no parking at all. Or here's a 1,450-bed (402 "unit") project that opened last month with 145 parking spaces. Here's one that opened a year ago next door with no parking for 597 beds (226 "units").
