Atlanta is a cycling city. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Atlanta City Council is weighing a proposal to follow in the footsteps of places like Denver, Boston and Rhode Island by offering city residents rebates for e-bikes. ajc.com/news/atlanta-eyes-su…

@andreforatlanta is this allowed? I don’t think planning would have permitted this!

This is extremely disappointing.
Isn’t the point of building these connections between urban neighborhoods to foster connection?
Very bad choice to seal off access between Zephyr and @HousingAtlanta’s Englewood redevelopment.

One reason the Beltline path is so accepted by Atlantans: it didn't replace any car lanes or parking.
A bolder move: create a seamless network of streets where the width currently devoted to cars is reduced & replaced with excellent bike/ped spaces.
We've made a fair start.

Them: "We can't densify Atlanta & reduce car dependency until MARTA is expanded!"
I disagree but OK let's expand MARTA.
"No! MARTA needs to clean house. We can't trust them!"
While we wait for whatever 'clean house' amounts to, can we build density?
"No! Expand MARTA first!"
A completely ridiculous fence blocking neighbors from parkspace.
Open it up!

Yesterday, 2 young boys swung by the house selling snacks (for ebikes lol).
Chatted with them & I wound up asking if they hang with the kids that gather at the park after school. While they said no, their eyes lit up & asked where.
Today- they’re out playing with the others 💕

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
NoMa built so much housing that its Metro station needs another front door.
A proposed $50 MILLION entrance at 3rd & N Streets NE would tunnel beneath the railroad tracks to connect the Red Line more directly to Union Market and neighborhoods east of the station.
• Nearly 5 minutes shaved off walks to Union Market
• An alternative to the narrow Florida Avenue underpass
• More homes and businesses within an easy walk of Metro
• Construction expected to begin in 2028
Building housing around transit works. Now the infrastructure needs to catch up.
What other Metro stations need another entrance?
@StateFarmArena & @ATLHawks should be better neighbors to Atlanta residents instead of being antagonists REMOVING arguably the city’s best north/south protected bike route. 👎
@MBStadium & @CentennialYards support people visit to get around safely, Hawks & the Arena should, too.

Glenn should have a traffic signal. Arguably so should Crumley.
That’s a lonnnng 3 blocks without a safe crossing so close to the core of the city and on the new high capacity transit route.
Those parking lots also need to be incentivized to be developed. Carrot or stick…
