If Clyde Higgs of the Beltline no longer supports BeltLine Rail on the Eastside, replace him with a competent CEO who supports the Mission.

Enough is enough. Time to move the funded and designed transit projects, forward.

Start emailing & calling BOE reps, city council members, the Mayor, MARTA Board, & Clyde Higgs until whoever continues to be in the way of transit progress for Atlanta stops being an impediment and we see projects move forward.

- Jason Winston (Finance committee chair), Alex Wan (transportation committee chair & prior finance chair), Matt Westmoreland (CDHS Chair over TAD considerations), & ATLDOT need to unclog More MARTA projects, similar to MAF city transportation projects.

‪Need metro Atlanta leaders to commit to and deliver eastside Beltline rail.‬

‪They have been dragging their feet too long.‬

‪Begin construction after the World Cup. It is time.‬

Thanks again!

🤷‍♂️ Minimum quals say only a bachelors and the hiring manager suggests it’s for someone early in their career.

It’s not massive pay, but above the median for new grads.

Hell yeah. Atlanta is a small town where everyone knows one another. Whoever it was abusing powers deserves the stick.

Who was the mod? Feels like that should be public knowledge.

Yep.

Yet hasn’t happened for decades. Perhaps getting the city to think about it and show up for conversations with GDOT projects will lead to better outcomes.

Because so far, we have little to show for it.

Also, budgeting. Made that a big item in my comments.

Need substantial majority of $$$ to be used on non-vehicular intrastructure.

Anything except for cars.

-Sidewalks
-TSP
-Clamping down on cut through traffic

Anything else. Just make ‘em better.

!!!! That’s a wonderful rec!! Was one of my top responses, too.

My change 1 thing though I tried something different than usual, said something along the lines of reduce noise from highway traffic as we rarely get noise barriers, yet low density suburbs do.

Want them thinking about more…

There’s an integral group project mentioned on the far west lot, but the skate park lot at least is moving forward with big financial donations from one of the mail chimp founders IIRC

At this point I’m more interested in people ensuring their elected officials do what’s right for the city. Can’t live in the past.

Losing CM Bakhtiari from CDHS is a risk for TADs & what otherwise may be a highly productive committee. Wish MJB was dropped instead.
