Historic Streetcar Systems in Georgia: Context and Inventory
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have funded the development of a context for resources associated with Georgia’s historic streetcar systems, with a focus on the metro Atlanta area, to provide GDOT staff and other preservation professionals a better understanding of these unique resources and to present a framework for their evaluation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This Act requires federal and state agencies to assess the effects of their undertakings on cultural resources that are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Because remnants of streetcar tracks and associated properties are historic, they are surveyed and recorded; yet, their evaluation is often hampered by a lack of understanding of their significance by archaeologists and historians.
