Developments around the BeltLine continue to rustle the feathers of locals. This source of conflict this time is a new development from Fuqua Development where the Eastside Trail meets Piedmont Park. The developer is planning an 11-story hotel, grocery store, townhomes and apartments that include 30 percent affordable housing. But local residents believe the project is too dense for the area, which is already car-clogged, according to Curbed Atlanta.
