Atlanta’s food scene is more than Ponce City Market and Buckhead restaurants. Just saying. #food #business

@HowEPhil Thanks for the shout out! We will earn people’s visit soon enough!

@tish________ @HowEPhil @CodyAlcorn Trace and see if these perps have paid. Are the open faregates the issue ? If so, deal with them immediately.

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

@RickL1A I don’t disagree. My point is let’s hold GSP and overall hub violence to the same standard.

Innocent people dying = bad. Let’s end of all it. And not selectively blame public institutions to fit a narrative we have in our heads.

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

Let me get this straight...

1) Gun violence = shooters at fault
2) GSP kills innocent bystanders = person running from law is at fault
3) Person dies senselessly on MARTA - it's MARTA's fault ?

I think there are serious challenges on MARTA. But come on. Let's be consistent.

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

I welcome the Secretary of Transportation to investigate MARTA. If they are doing something wrong - hold them accountable.

But let's have the same standard for GA DOT and GSP when it comes to unnecessary road violence with high speed chases.

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

There are 1000 things that MARTA can do to improve safety and security - 100%.

No one should feel unsafe on MARTA - 100%

However, I, and my kids, almost died because of a GSP high speed chase ended near my kids school.

I was closer to death then any other point of my life.

@HowEPhil Perfect day to be outside!

@billjohansen1 @tristamac We’d win one of two ways… $ to spend on transit. And/or less congestion on our urban streets meaning buses could operate better. Either way, we win.

This may be the first thing that has gotten me excited about this World Cup!

A national team establishing an HQ in downtown was referenced in a World Cup call today.
It seems it will be #Spain.

I'm curious to know if he sees restrictive zoning laws as government intervention or not.

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

@LathburyJason @IamKingWilliams That block by GSU station drives me nuts ! So many parking decks next to heavy rail

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

@sodowntownatl @Urban_Connector I love this. I also wonder how long it takes an Atlanta driver to assume the sign of for them!!!

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

@kloud229 Slowly but surely, we're getting some really nice bike infrastructure!

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

@HowEPhil I had similar thoughts . I love near by and went there. It wasn’t because of the parking.

[Eric Phillips @HowEPhil]

New cycle track, who dis???

Lane feels particularly narrow. Don’t love how Ted Turner to Forsyth block. Do love that it exists 😂

Curious if C.O.P. to also get cycle track, as would be huge value better connecting AUC & neighbors to the west & south to Downtown, Tech, Midtown…

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

@Urban_Connector Pretty excited about this and courtland st! We need these cycle tracks to connect!!!!

[Jeff Delp @JeffDelp]

Preliminary stripping is down for MLK cycle track connection!

Memorial Dr —> MLK e/w connection is game changing!

@ajlamesa They lost 3 teenage riders today because I told my daughter and her friends to not bother taken Marta.
