@StreamOnMax bring West Wing back

@jasonsdozier @WestmorelandATL @DougShip @JasonHWinston @AmirForATL @ATLDOT Now, let’s keep it going! After the (in progress) bike lanes abruptly ended, I was ushered on to a sidewalk … which also abruptly ended 🫢

Luckily, I listen to my wife & was wearing a helmet 🪖 🛴

Woo hooo! After a looong day at work, I get to ride home on these #protectedbikelanes outside the State Capitol for the first time 👏🏽

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

shoutout to my friend @jasonsdozier who I know really went to bat for strategic expansion of bike lanes

Also shoutout to @WestmorelandATL @DougShip @JasonHWinston @AmirForATL @ATLDOT for leaning into this

The Northens have a new member of the family… Welcome home, Thor!

@CindyBattles @TindallSara @jwwiesner Not every case- but a very high % are Twin or “Smith” ! Now get some sleep, it’s almost Election Day …

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

@CindyBattles @TindallSara @jwwiesner @TindallSara was spot on, if no DL# or State ID# on file, system is designed to prompt for last 4 of SSN. VERY small % of voters with duplicate criteria.

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

@TindallSara @CindyBattles @jwwiesner Correct, exact match for those 4 criteria triggers requests for additional info. We’ve found a supermajority of these cases are:
1) Twins
2) Voters with the last name “Smith”

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

@CindyBattles Address would not work for twins who have the same first initial, which is very common in GA

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

@CindyBattles If the small % of Voters without DL# or State ID# do have the same first initial, last name, and full DOB, in the same county, the voter is prompted to provide last 4 of social (which is needed on file to confirm identity if missing DL# or State ID#)

As much as I’ve loved having @JasonHWinston as our city council rep, it’d be something special to get a #unified Mechanicsville again, in 1 city council district. Please keep precinct 01F in D4 @DougShipmanATL @jasonsdozier … we are 1 neighborhood, we deserve 1 unified voice 🗳

Got some detailed pics of the maps (1/3)

[Nick Northen @NickNorthen]

Anyone who lives outside of midtown knows how painfully true this is … we gotta fix AND prevent these potholes, create new AND protect existing bike lanes …

Leaders, @JasonHWinston @jasonsdozier @WestmorelandATL @andreforatlanta wya on this?

[J.D. Capelouto @jdcapelouto]

Atlanta got a 42 on Zillow’s new “Bike Score” rating — falling in the lowest tier of the bikeability scores 😬
