People of Atlanta need your help to move new transit projects forward.
We have the funding, however CEOβs of the BeltLine, MARTA (our transit agency), & Mayor are obstructing a project from going to construction despite decades of public input & cross agency collaboration.
Contact infoβs in link π
Feel free to share far and wide, thank you! Should be simple for the public to be aware of who and how to connect with local decision makers, regardless of stance or project priorities!
I am merely grateful others find the list of value.
If you, like me are furious about the #Atlanta illegal change for the beltline eastside rail, consider emailing a few of these folks, like I did this morning. We need to let them know this is not okay. List with email address and some phone numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Itβs a (mis)management & delivery problem.

Need the city to buck up & deliver what is owed.

Should have been like a month to finish the project⦠hopefully with temps rising and some dry days they close it out soon.

No update on Trolley Trail Extension nor Spoke in Reynoldstown.
Seniors in electric wheelchairs roam the streets as blocks are without sidewalks or ADA ramps.
Parents continue to push strollers in streets.

I genuinely hope this mitigates the terrible and disgusting overflows that have happened to the surrounding community for so long.

One is much smaller used for few city vehicles. Other is massive.

At the current pace, it will take 400 years to build out Seattle's sidewalk network, but with home zones and shared streets, we have an opportunity to dramatically accelerate safer residential streets at a much lower cost.
