To create a reliable bike network, connect existing protected infrastructure with one another & extend to more areas of interest.
Said another way: Connect the Dots.
That’s it. That’s the game.

My guess is this one at least results in significant clawbacks because of how quickly it went bust. But we’re about to have a nearly-vacant HQ right next to the North Avenue MARTA station.

You can feel this development if you go to any sporting events, every team is pushing luxury packages for a few thousand fans and trying to make the other 50,000 people in the stadium feel left out

Imagine blocking a sidewalk for months because the walk sign is not working yet.
This is just stupid waiting for traffic signals to be updated to allow people to ride safely.
@midtownatl.bsky.social & ATLDOT need to unblock Juniper protected bike lane ASAP.

For the Midtown bike folks like myself eagerly awaiting juniper bike lane to open: Per Midtown Alliance, it won’t open until all of the new traffic signal equipment is powered up. They are waiting for GA Power to schedule to run power to a new signal cabinet location on 10th Street intersection.

I still have yet to hear a clear explanation of what benefit these have over a bus other than novelty factor. Not against new technology but sure seems like burning money on vanity projects

Every U.S. city has a map like this, and every mayor and city councilperson in U.S. should internalize it
Health impacts of high noise exposure include cognitive impairment, mental health disorders, high blood pressure, cardio/metabolic problems, hearing loss & adverse pregnancy outcomes. @multco.bsky.social & @oregonstate.edu measured PDX noise levels.

“I really want Gwinnett & Cobb to start thinking about what it would look like to have public transit in their communities that is connected to the city"

If I was the mayor of Atlanta, the poster child for ineffective governance and inability to get voter-approved transportation projects built, I might focus on getting shit built in my own city before making promises about getting my neighbors to follow suit.

The reason this place has actually stuck for me is because my corner of college football twitter made a concerted, organized effort to move everyone over here as soon as invites started going around, and talking ball is the only actually fun part of social media for me at this point
baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

Totally agree. Getting an ebike changed not only the way I get around atlanta, but my experience and relationship with the city, for the much better to be clear. Ebikes are revolutionary while EVs are a small (but important) shift in the current system.
