The goal of the SAND Transportation Committee is to provide a framework for SAND residents to get involved with neighborhood and regional transportation issues that impact our community. If you have a neighborhood transportation concern or would like to get involved please contact Bob Titus at transportation@sandatlanta.org.
SAND recently requested a traffic study for Custer Avenue, based on suggestions and complaints from area residents about speeding and traffic hazards on the street.
Based on the informaiton from the study, it looks like Custer Avenue didn't pass muster to warrant any traffic calming.
Here's some docs from the city about it.

There's a chance that the Southeast segment of the Beltline may be submitted for possible inclusion in the 2012 Georgia Transportation Investment Act Regional Referendum, which means it could be built within our lifetimes, but it needs your support.

The NPU-W/SAND Transportation Committee meeting:
Among the topics to that are planned to be discussed: the Atlanta Beltline team is moving forward with a process to determine which segments of the Beltline are to be included in the major funding mechanisms envisioned within Georgia HB 277, (the Transportation Improvement Act (TIA) where voters will decide via referendum in 2012 if they want to devote another penny in sales tax to transportation projects.
