Not today Satan.

If Cox & Rivian want to provide transit for Atlantans, they need to start building trains & buses.

Billionaire backed ridehailing that costs $30+ a ride won’t do shit for our lower income neighbors. They will add traffic to streets & continue to exasperate displacement.

Techwood cycle track nearly complete from North Ave to 5th St bridge!

We need to have a come to Jesus moment over drink prices at @StateFarmArena…

In positive local news, a massively important new @AtlantaBeltline segment opened next to @piedmontpark today.

@PublixHelps @hesgoneurban Can you please look into more bike parking at the Plaza Midtown Publix as well? There’s not nearly enough for all the people that bike / scooter there.

[Patrick Quinn @PatrickQuinnTV]

WATCH: Permanent concrete barriers are coming to 10th Street to further protect the bike lanes adjacent to Piedmont Park.

The goal is to improve cyclist/pedestrian safety as this area is part of the city’s high-injury network.

Oh, and you can help paint them. 🎨

[Mayor of Buckhead (In Exile) @MayorOfBuckhead]

The lack of bike racks in walkable/bikeable neighborhoods of Atlanta like Virginia Highland is utterly absurd… @vahicivic @ATLDOT

[Matt 🚍🚲🚇🏘️ @mattfromcobb]

What!? It’s ONLY 8 miles and 3 hours to walk from MARTA to Truist Park?!

UNREAL! 🔥

@ATL311 Could you please provide an update on this water main break (WO#8645982)? The crews put a metal plate down a month ago, but no work has occurred since then… @ATLWatershed

[Mayor of Buckhead (In Exile) @MayorOfBuckhead]

Calling bullshit. They’ll find some obscure last min reason to close it…

[Mercedes-Benz Stadium @MBStadium]

Roof will be OPEN for Saturday's @NDFootball vs. @GeorgiaTechFB game.

@HowEPhil @MidtownATL @ATLDOT @AmirForATL @WestmorelandATL @jasonsdozier They all made it actually and are still standing, haha 🙏

[Mayor of Buckhead (In Exile) @MayorOfBuckhead]

Atlanta drivers man… Really illustrates why we need safer/slower streets and more protected bike lanes in Midtown. Both cars likely totaled on what should be a relatively slow multi-modal street. @MidtownATL @ATLDOT @AmirForATL @WestmorelandATL @jasonsdozier

At this point there are endangered sea turtles who have spent more time in a MARTA rail car than certain members of the MARTA board have.

Empty storefronts. Nearly-empty office towers.

Looks like Richard Bowers' success in pressuring Mayor Dickens to kill the Peachtree Shared Space project hasn't done anything to add life to the street.

Maybe car sewers and downtowns don't mix well?

[Beth McKibben 🍸 @TheLazySusan]

Meanwhile those of us who regularly take MARTA to get around town or go to work, even on the weekends, would like a word. The weekend schedule is 👎 and becomes a game of trying to time it just right so you’re not waiting for 20+ mins for the next train to arrive.

[Mayor of Buckhead (In Exile) @MayorOfBuckhead]

@dwickert @saragregory the city needs this to be covered. Why is @MARTAtransit utterly dropping the ball on so many big weekend events? What are the solutions to the problem? Also, why are so many of the brand new information screens not working across the entire system?

[AtlantaDNA @AtlantaDNA]

Really @MARTAservice @MARTAtransit Single tracking on Atlanta Pride Sunday! Bad idea!
