As if it's not hard enough already to walk on Buford Highway, this construction sign in Chamblee is blocking the whole sidewalk and partially blocking the MARTA bus stop. Luckily somebody walking by shoved it to the side so there's a bit more space now. #walkability
This is Midtown NYC but we'll take this in Midtown Atlanta too please
#Atlanta reflection
Fresh off the opening of the Juniper bike lane, the West Peachtree protected bike lane is also starting construction this month?! What an exciting time for cycling in Midtown. #Atlanta #cycling #urbanism
Pardon my language but holy shit I thought I'd be dead before the Juniper street protected bike lane finally opened. #Atlanta #cycling #urbanism
Public input open on a safe streets project
I took this picture from One Atlantic Center in 2012. It's wild how completely unrecognizable Midtown is. #Atlanta
Screens at this MARTA station are just stuck on this one image. Le sigh. #transit #MARTA

The executive branch is destroyed for a generation. There's no easy way to build back after what's happening and continues to happen.
Yeah I can see that. I like it because even though the design seems basic, Atlanta doesn't have a tall skinny residential box like this yet. The design stands out here, while it would be a dime a dozen in Toronto or Chicago.
I see night but I don't see life π€£
1072 West Peachtree rising above the Wimbish House. #Atlanta #skyscrapers
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...
Police chases should be outlawed. This man is dead because the Georgia State Patrol initiated a high speed chase through a residential Atlanta neighborhood. People shouldn't have to fear for their lives when crossing the street.

Another gorgeous day in Midtown Atlanta. #PiedmontPark #Atlanta
I missed this event the other day (weekday mid-day) but let's keep the pressure on to improve Peachtree Street in downtown #Atlanta. The funding and programming are already in place. The mayor and DOT need to act now. #urbanism
How you gonna post this and not drop the @? π€£
Let's leave that drawer closed π€£
Interstate construction destroyed neighborhoods across our country. This is Stockton California, where Filipino communities were particularly affected. From the National Museum of American History. #urbanism

Traffic signals set to bicycle speeds? Excellent. #cycling #DC
In DC and the bike lanes are... mostly cleared. Saw a few brave souls enduring the cold weather on bike share. Also the snow is rock hard. #cycling #DC
The MARTA screens are dumb. The scrolling alerts block upcoming train times. This screen isn't even showing the next train arrival, this Doraville train is the second one coming. The number one thing a screen in the station should show is upcoming trains. #MARTA can you fix this? #transit #Atlanta
Yoooooo, Juniper street protected bike lane opening in the next week or so! #cycling #Atlanta
Here's a picture of the light rail in Charlotte from last year. Just because. #transit
I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. π
To me it appeared that the crowd cheered for the athletes, and then booed when they showed Vance on the screen in the stadium π€£
