We've done numbers. We've tightened our belt. We've figured out how much we need to raise from the community to keep our work going.
We need you to help us raise $65,000 to ACPC keep operating at the level you expect from us until the second half of the year, when most of our revenue comes in.

Atlanta, ATLDOT has a new survey about your support (or not) of bringing back docked bike stations in Atlanta & how much you’d want to pay for a bike ride.
Let them know what you think about that…

People of Atlanta need your help to move new transit projects forward.
We have the funding, however CEO’s of the BeltLine, MARTA (our transit agency), & Mayor are obstructing a project from going to construction despite decades of public input & cross agency collaboration.

If you, like me are furious about the #Atlanta illegal change for the beltline eastside rail, consider emailing a few of these folks, like I did this morning. We need to let them know this is not okay. List with email address and some phone numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Anybody know if the @atlantabeltline.org store that’s being built in Terminal B at Hartsfield-Jackson is being paid for by ABI? Seems like a very interesting use of funds.

I cannot recommend @boostblue.bsky.social enough over the default Bluesky app. It has many features missing from the official one (saved timeline position!) and the developer is amazing and incredibly responsive and quick to fix any issues. It’s made my Bluesky experience so much better!
This release brought to you by @zschamis.selfhosted.social, who sent me a pretty comprehensive list of issues in the app. (not all included here)

@mayorofmarta.bsky.social’s bike routes map is great for trip planning, but we need something better for actual navigation

Hey East Bay bike riders, I wanted to share something I've been helping with
The Android/iOS app "Bike Streets" is a navigation app that is built around a network curated by people who actually ride. This means the directions it gives won't throw you onto a terrifying 4-lane road, like Google Maps

The future of our city depends on residents having trust in the city and that comes from delivering projects that have been promised in a timely manner.

I’ve been trying to renew the domain I purchased through Bluesky for like 5 days now and @support.bsky.team is utterly useless. We’ve at the point where they aren’t able to read through the email chain to see what problem they’re even trying to solve.

@boostblue.bsky.social I’m seeing an issue right now where I’m having to login every time I open the app. Also, the app is putting a bunch of old posts (~2 days) in my timeline right above my last read position whenever I relogin.
I temporarily changed by handle, which I think may be the cause.
