I would have voted "no" on this. But unlike transit expansion, there's no requirement for a vote on highway projects. MARTA expansion has to go through often bitter, racially-charged referendum votes for approval. Which it usually loses. Highway construction just happens. – at Atlanta, GA

Went by Buckhead yesterday. The demoed affordable housing site on Pharr Court is sitting idle. We lose a lot of lower priced homes to more expensive sites. 2 market rate sites between Peachtree & Piedmont actively under construction though, more than Midtown.

@AtlantaBeltline reveals new design “The existing building at Howell Mill Road and Trabert Avenue will be demolished so the trail can be realigned to a safer, signalized crossing. A new building is under construction on the neighboring site to accommodate the relocated business.”

Knew this one would bring in the troll farms and others so I’ll say it again. To hell with the treasonists, the Nazi bastards, & all compromised assets in elected office. Vote for anyone and everyone who ends the regime. And yes, white men, you are a big part of the problem.

To all white men who need to hear it: Your country is more important than your preferred political party, ideologies, & moral qualms. Vote the nazis out. Vote blue. Vote Keisha for Georgia Governor.

Lots of people drive cars in the US but that doesn't mean they want to. Car fanatics want us to believe that car-dominance is because customers love cars. But choices reveal desires only when there are real options. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/10/…

I'm really glad these are moving forward. The long timeline on them confuses me, though. Why does it take till 2029 to upgrade some stops and add a turn around loop? This could be phased with Phase 1 having limited stops (done soon), and Phase 2+ having the extra amenities.

Build it. Would prefer different style than the cladding on the side, but the housing in general is good for the city and corridor. So few proposals in the city advancing at the moment.
