GDOT: C’mon, just FOUR more lanes, bro.
And they’re tolled, so they’re not for the poors.
And buses can use them, so that ACKSHULLY makes this a transit project.
And we’re very proud of that.

Dishonorable mention to the massive-radius slip lane, too. Drivers can hit the right turn without even slowing down. Good luck, pedestrians!

Paris has achieved the goal of more than 300 “school streets”.

What an absolute service to #DecaturGa and #DekalbCountyGa.

Being an informed voter is hard. Functioning democracy depends on it, and guides like this help a lot.

The only thing more vulnerable than a child while they are being hit by a driver in a three ton metal box, is a driver's ego if anybody questions their automotive rights.

Atlantans would *love* modal filters to mitigate cur through drivers in their neighborhoods and make the streets safer for kids & walking around again 👀

One of the dirty secrets in ATL urban planning is that traffic is down (WAY down in some cases) despite adding tens of thousands of new residents. Here’s a pic of me easily riding my bike down the center lane of Peachtree during Monday rush hour, and there are more pedestrians than car drivers.

Doing a pit maneuver in a city's downtown is absurd.

Safe Routes to School program providing APS students the confidence and competence to bike safely to school Safe Routes to School "Cone Crusher" Bike Safety Program

The street grid and Beltline near Sylvan Middle have so much potential to provide safe routes for kids. Glad the city is talking about improving bike infrastructure nearby.

I need a NIMBY to please explain the opposition to reducing the minimum house size here. I read the article and I truly do not understand it.

As a developer and architect, who lived in a 1949 dekalb house built at 800sf, expanded to 1,008, I find it absolutely insane we have a minimum unit size. It just hurts housing availability. Makes it harder to provide starter, and downsize homes, and increases the barriers of entry for homeowners.

2/2 “Actually to be fully consistent and safely within the Technical they have to do it.

1/2 I feel seen, and insulted (laudatory). This really got me:

“not only do the structurally empowered eighty-to-ninety-percent-men … get to choose emotions over efficacy, they get to do so while also maintaining the notion that they never have emotions in the first place.”

Under 300 families benefitting from the housing program, and 20k people have left the city due to displacement. @atlantabeltline.org didn't suffer bc it was the first of its kind, it's bc of corporate greed. All these developers got subsidies for "beach front," & now they're reneging on promises.

Speed cameras work. Maybe one day GA govt will let us use them for more than just school zones.

In response to my rant yesterday, I was asked how we can make better parks and other public places for teenage girls? What do they want? I have answers to this, so now a positive 🧵.
Starting in Sweden, where this was co-designed by teenage girls.

"University of Miami-based nonprofit BikeSafe found that adding a pop-up bike lane to a long-standing local bike bus at the Coconut Grove neighborhood elementary school actually decreased the number of cars in the school drop-off line by an average of nearly 30 percent"

Very cool

"'ICE’s primary objection to releasing him on bond was “rooted in how he reports on law enforcement.' That argument failed to convince a federal immigration judge at Guevara’s July 1 bond hearing, but even so, he remains in ICE custody." Hmmmmmm.
