Taking in music, bikes, and food and discussing transportation and urban policy is a good day to me.

The West End isn’t a new neighborhood.
In fact it’s arguably one of Atlanta’s oldest… since the 1800s + the mall that existed there was built because of white flight and suburbanization in the 70s.
ATLANTA IS ABOUT TO TURN A DYING 1970s SHOPPING MALL INTO AN ENTIRE NEW NEIGHBORHOOD.
And the transformation could be absolutely MASSIVE.
The $450 MILLION Mall West End redevelopment would deliver:
• 1.7 MILLION SF of development
• Roughly 900 new homes
• 125,000 SF of retail
• New grocery store, restaurants and shops
• Affordable housing and public green space
• New walkable streets connecting FOUR city blocks
And here's the BEST part: It's right next to a MARTA rail station.

nstead of another sprawling suburban-style mall, Atlanta could get an entire transit-connected urban district.
Is THIS the future of America's dying shopping malls?

Mara Gay (who went to college with El-Sayed) on Morning Joe:
One thing you learn when you're not a white American is that it sometimes doesn't matter what you want to talk about.
The more the Republicans try to make it about Islamophobia, the angrier voters appear to be getting because they want to talk about health care. They want to talk about why they can't afford their lives.
He decided to run because he cares about Michiganders. I know that. He can be very stubborn. He also cares about people.

Your school run is a great study into the systemic failure or success of our mobility system.

Take a tour of the new cycle parking below Berlin's Potsdamer Platz.
Designed for utility, sport, electric and cargo bikes, it enables a smooth transition to public transport, while taking a underutilized retail corridor and reimagining it as a safe and inviting community space.

At what point do we admit that building highways through the center of our cities was a failed experiment?
Our streets in Atlanta are insanely clogged because some folks 70 years ago thought it was a good idea. It wasn’t .
Let’s tear them out and move on.

Driver behavior is the primary threat to pedestrians. Americans don't need walking PSAs, they need driving PSAs.

FULTON COUNTY: Check your wait times at early voting locations here:

Remember, during the early voting period you can vote at ANY location in your home county!
(In my experience, wait times tend to be short at the end of the first week of early voting.)

Cori Bush wrote a bill to protect workers in climate disasters and give impacted families paid leave
but GOP-funded AIPAC spent millions to push her out of Congress and X banned Ken Klippenstein who wrote about the bill, so here is the story:
