Critics of the referendum had already loudly voiced objections to any new funding for transportation projects, especially in the form of a tax. When the final project list was released, new critics immediately emerged. Neither the pro-transit people nor the no transit funding people got exactly what they wanted, as a near even split of funding for roads and transit was eventually agreed upon. Among the projects that would be in the transit realm is $600 million for transit projects along the Atlanta BeltLine, with a modern streetcar running down North Avenue that would tie the east and west sides of the BeltLine together. An additional $600 million would go to repairs of MARTA: the largest transit system in America that does not receive any state funding. Research leader Emory University would be linked to the transit oriented development at Lindbergh City Center via newly constructed rail line.
