Empty Atlanta streets. No cars.

Replace those lanes with protected bike lanes, as well as those parking lots with housing.

Amazingly, the Skyline can only reach 78% of the top speed of marta, a system that started construction 50 years ago
🌈 Aloha from Oahu’s Skyline rapid rail line!! 🤙

✅ Fully autonomous without an operator on board
✅ Platform screen doors
✅ Open Gangways
✅ 55 mph top speed

But no mobile tap to pay! And I get the gripe with station spacing. Still- a fair amount on board at off peak hours.

General reminder to visit with loved ones when you can. Whether they’re in the same city or across the globe, even just a few minutes with them is good for & refuels the soul 💕

Auckland Transport should make it a requirement tha staff and contractors working on cycle lanes are cyclists too! Putting a pole in the middle of a cycle lane is costly stupidity!

“It is imperative we provide safe, reliable, and continuous bike infrastructure connecting Midtown and Downtown to all quadrants of the city, such as to the Beltline and beyond.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Midtown Atlanta is undergoing six transportation projects to increase pedestrian safety, bike lanes, and green spaces. Critics say the construction is causing traffic congestion and affecting the bottom lines of area businesses, while advocates say the growing pains are temporary and worth it.

🚫👑 How many Dems who condemned @RepMGP were shouting “NO KINGS” weeks ago?

Electeds do not pass down crowns, for they are only temporary representation.

Please put forward legislation to ensure constituents get to vote for their representation, never dictated to them. 🚫👑

TROLLEY LINE TRAIL UPDATE: NO UPDATE!

I jest, however any update is good so I appreciate something being sent out. Looking forward to details being shared about the trail & hopefully the intersection redesign, too.

Blessed to have such spectacular neighbors.

TADs considered for extension in comparison to the most populous census tracts that make up only 66% of City of Atlanta’s population.

$5.5 billion for a subset of the city.

Thats 7.3 Moving Atlanta Forward packages or 15.7 TSPLOSTs, (36.5-78.5 years!) of $ FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

Saw the other day- these standalone Publix whose 2 story parking decks that seemingly have quality issues are not instilling confidence here in Atlanta.

More groceries = great, however would be much better served if there were multifamily homes above & not 💩 parking decks.

You’re welcome!

I’ve been to countless shows there.

I had seen one go fund me but I was talking to a friend who moved to a different space recently and thankfully he told me their website had all the go fund me’s linked on it

Please spread this far and wide.

A maker/artist space that I know and love called South River Studios burned down over night.

Many artist friends and artisans have lost everything.

Consider giving if you can

I've just been waiting for them to open the lane for a couple months now! Finally a route south that doesn't involve me mixing it up with Peachtree traffic on my bike!

-Trolley Line Trail decisions to occur 10/31
-Washington St cycle track construction before 10/31
-South Boulevard Complete Street break ground 10/31

Haven’t seen movement yet on either, but tick tock tick tock- coming soon 👀

Gilmer was closed west of Washington, though.

Cars are so goddamn inefficient on narrow streets.

We need to expand space across Atlanta that prioritizes **everyone outside of a car** to move, gather, entertain, relax, make money, or simply do whatever the hell they want with that space.

Our neighbors deserve better!!!
