Atlanta when?
Oh wait, I know why. UPS is on the Committee for Better Atlanta and a major campaign donor.
Our Commercial E-Cargo Bike Program launches today. We want to work with businesses of all sizes to help our freight network become more cost-effective as delivery volumes continue to increase.

Vaporware. Cobb County is not a serious place. What could have $6.6M done for its bus system?

Siri, show me an “oversight” committee over a $ multibillion 30-year TAD/TIF extension that is dominated by key participants in #TheAtlantaWay.

Not one of these orgs has been a critic of Atlanta development policies. Only 2 are even neighborhood orgs & one of those was created by large corp’s. 1/2

How will this committee be any different than the hundreds of other existing committees?
Atlanta has already voted Mayor Dickens a huge infrastructure investment fund he has demonstrated he is unable to deploy.

In fact, he still hasn’t even spent down the prior packages secured by his predecessors.

I’m a “no” on this. Show us you can spend prior infrastructure funds responsibly first.
I'm concerned the council is just gonna pass this after a "cooling off period".

We shouldn't be renewing the TADs all willy nilly. I'm hopeful this study will show that but I don't know...

Its time to upzone Home Park and close the density gap between Howell Mill corridor, Atlantic Station, Tech, and Midtown. Its an island of SFHs between several high rise districts.

I wonder how this map of Atlanta would overlap with air pollution?

Every U.S. city has a map like this, and every mayor and city councilperson in U.S. should internalize it

Price estimates for infill stations, when considering the Mayor's plan to add 4 infill MARTA stations.
At grade infill station: $200M

How is this so expensive?? That's 20% of king county metro's entire operating budget!
Long promised and approved by voters in 2016, the cost to build two deferred Link stations in Seattle and Tukwila jumped by more than two-thirds in a few short years. The projects are likely to be put under a microscope along with big-ticket ST3 projects.

MARTA when?
This is my biggets issue with the Five Points Transformation project. I do not care about the plaza or the bus buses, but rather in 2025, why the project does not include platform screen doors?
Major announcement in just-posted board documents: DC's Metro is moving fast toward automation.

Over 15 years, Metro plans full automation & platform screen doors, which the agency says will improve safety, reliability, & travel times—at reduced costs.
