A transit advocacy group in NYC uses ATL's failure to get rail started on the Beltline as a warning: build the rail first, before the 'trail' component sparks anti-transit outrage from residents who don't want to rock the booming-property-values boat. instagram.com/p/DN58BSXEbZB

Good writeup on the complexity of providing affordable homes in hot markets of Atlanta through fees, density bonuses, & requirements for below-market-rate units. It also raises questions: how can we also ensure affordable homes are near transit & on safe streets for walking?

Where should a new Amtrak Location Go? ARC and the City of Atlanta are conducting a study to find the best options to replace the current station, which is too small, not ADA-compliant, and far from MARTA rail. Learn more on ARC's News Center page: bit.ly/41Qbjk4

The attempted sale of six largely-empty office buildings above Peachtree Center MARTA Station tells a sad story about the decline of the Downtown office market. But maybe there's a great new Transit Oriented Development waiting to happen here? 🤔🤞🏻 costar.com/article/138258…

Another reason why we need to preserve places. They are not just buildings. atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-a…

As if surface-parking spaces weren’t problematic enough, new research finds that parked cars contribute to urban heat islands, exposing pedestrians to even higher levels of heat stress though the “radiative properties” of the materials cars are made of. threadatl.org/blog/even-when…

Good point. 800M + 375M + 520M + 435M + 400M + 500M + 270M + 210M = $3.51 billion For less than the $4.1 billion loan the federal government just gave GA to expand Highway 400, we could build all this.

Take a look at the new maps of the route alignment and stations for rail on the Atlanta Beltline and try not to drool on your screen. 🤤 Even as rail implementation gets frustratingly delayed, there's still a solid vision for the design. threadatl.tumblr.com/post/791720848…

When the city cuts costs by deferring much-needed repairs of sidewalks and ADA ramps, it can mean the difference between someone moving freely or being shut out of public life. Public infrastructure needs to afford dignity to everyone. threadatl.tumblr.com/post/791317281…
