Petition for safety isn’t a covert plot to kill Beltline rail A Georgia man hopes his petition will bring increased safety to the Atlanta Beltline. I hope his mission doesn't get derailed.

Why we don’t talk about the Eastside #Atlanta Beltline streetcar much anymore:
1. The project was canceled.
2. Better #transit ideas exist— bus lanes, infill MARTA stations, etc.
3. The Beltline path needs attention.

This piece concerns the latter. It’s a good start.

I gather that he was car-brained and bad with budgets. Anything more?

I prefer “The Surrender Caucus”, because that’s what these Senators are best at.

Can Paths Put Atlanta in the Same League as Paris? — Better Atlanta Transit Bike lanes and paths are relatively cheap and simple to build, compared to highways and fixed rail transit. This means that Paris could build a lot very quickly without overly burdening hard-pressed b...

#Atlanta has a golden opportunity with #TrailsATL to really stand out on the global stage by borrowing a page from the playbook #Paris has been using. 🇫🇷🚲🛴🦼🌆

TxDOT: Car-dominant Texas needs more public transit As the state’s population grows, more travel options are needed in rural and smaller urban areas and between major cities, according to a draft of the first-of-its-kind plan.

We appear to be in the alternate timeline where the Texas Department of Transportation admits that highways expansions aren’t the cure for highway congestion. 🤯

Yet these Senators are just fine with people experiencing the misery of being unable to afford health care. Plus, the “promise” they got to hold a vote on health care later on is meaningless, as the word of a Republican means nothing.

The people who won’t be able to afford health care will probably disagree with you.

Americans are now refugees within their own country thanks to #climatechange and lousy #government.

The Democrats who backed Republican shutdown deal - and why The Democratic defections broke a weeks-long deadlock amid the longest ever US shutdown.

I hereby dub the @democraticparty.bsky.social Senators who sided with the #Republicans to end the GOP #Shutdown the #SurrenderCaucus. They threw Americans under the bus and got nothing for it.

The driver hasn’t been charged? Just how lazy is the NYPD?

Petition to Increase Atlanta Beltline Safety Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Want more safe, dedicated #infrastructure for #bikes and other #micromobility on the Atlanta Beltline? Sign this petition.
The Beltline needs a parallel path so that people on foot don’t have to play #Frogger with fast users. A speed limit would also help.

Commanders owners anticipate possible stadium name discussion Sunday with President Trump — The Athletic Washington Commanders ownership anticipates conversations with President Donald Trump about the team’s new stadium when he attends Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions at Northwest Stadium

Wasting a billion of taxpayer funds on a #football #stadium is bad. Naming it for #Trump, who is making the people of the #DMV suffer via the #shutdown and #ICE raids, is inexcusable.
Shame on the Commanders & DC gov’t for even entertaining the notion.

They didn’t win with absurdly expensive projects, but with focusing on low-cost solutions: #bikes and #buses.

How dare you, sir!

A P.T. Barnum quote comes to mind.

“He added that he had been the butt of jokes by colleagues ever since. He was also gifted a toy sandwich with a patch reading, ‘felony footlong’".

This is what Republicans think is “Christian” leadership.

I’d rather have protected bike lanes.

This is just sad. Do better, NYT.

Do you even know who Overstreet is? Calm down.

Now he will knock down the entire White House, because surely an even bigger ballroom will save his legacy!

You’ve probably seen articles about how #tech is embracing #nuclearpower as a means to run #AI data centers. This is what the consequences of that will be: radioactive #pollution.

Leave. Never return.

People who vote against the streetcar aren’t against transit. They’re against vanity projects masquerading as transit. Maybe now we can start getting serious about dedicated bus lanes and BRT.

Malhotra had a better stance on TrailsATL than Overstreet. However, his eager embrace of BRN’s efforts to devote the entirety of More MARTA funds to the Beltline streetcar was a dealbreaker for many. Bond’s election probably won’t make a difference, as the streetcar’s greatest enemy was always math.

I do hope that Trump and his staff see this. It’s a harbinger of things to come.
