As streetcars make a comeback in the United States, Dr. Catherine Ross, a professor at Georgia Tech's School of City and Regional Planning and Director of the Center Quality Growth and Regional Development (CQGRD), believes the Atlanta Streecar will help address congestion in the southern metropolis. "We have these ebbs and flows, right? And we don't have an ability to sort of relieve some of that pressure. I think the streetcar will be able to do that," Ross says.
