Always talking about people-cities. Mostly bikes, sidewalks, housing, and zoning - mostly Atlanta. @TaylorMdodsoN graciously listens.

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

I would love to see a similar program for District 3 @ByronAmos. We have the lowest % of drivers and highest % of walkers, bikers, and transit riders of any district, but our streets are some of the most dangerous. We need sidewalks, bus stops and bike lanes in D3.

[Propel ATL @letspropelatl]

Thanks @LilianaforATL for sharing this info! Residents of District 5, check out the process and get involved in participatory budgeting for district transportation $ (Last year voters authored $750M infrastructure funds incl $1.5M discretionary transportation funds per district)

[Planetizen @planetizen]

Zoning codes can be crafted to lower barriers to neighborhood-scale development and infill housing. Learn how. https://t.co/1YCPRWE5ph

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

And this one does a deeper dive into development codes that encourage – or even allow – infill and incremental development.

Want to learn about zoning, why it matters, and how we can do it better? I'm excited to share some courses I've been working on with @plnzcourses based on our work at @code_studio. This one covers the basics of a better approach to zoning.

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

Planners, architect, and community leaders: I’ve been working with @plnzcourses on some exciting courses on zoning based on work we do at @code_studio, the first one is previewed below. Other zoning-related course ideas welcomed!

[Planetizen Courses @plnzcourses]

Planetizen Courses is premiering a video on zoning at the top of the hour. Join the premier to be the first to see the film, learn about zoning from @cs_dodson, and chat with Planetizen's James Brasuell and Diana Ionescu.

@letspropelatl Tech Parkway is my favorite - completely protected and separated, shaded, well lit, and constructed thanks to a road diet.

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

#HostCity2026 🍑

Maybe this means we can spend the next 4 years investing in quality public spaces and walkable development to benefit all Atlantans.

More bike lanes, transit, sidewalks, street trees, and mixed-use development please.

Highly recommend a listen

This 10-minute video basically sums up what I think about for 8+ hours everyday—100% worth a watch. Zoning matters y’all.

[Jason Dozier @jasonsdozier]

1 The I-20 on-ramp at Bill Kennedy has been an awful example of how our interstate system has worsened inequity while complicating our efforts reclaim our urban spaces. Bill Kennedy gets headlines because of the @AtlantaBeltLine, but it's not the only place where this happens.

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

Come work with me at @Code_Studio on interesting and impactful projects in cities across the US - we have 2 open positions. Bonus if you live in Atlanta, we can collaborate in person.

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

On a run yesterday, I experienced this research first hand. Streets lined with trees feel safer and more comfortable than stretches like Hollowell Prkwy with bad sidewalks and no trees. Good urban design and healthy/equitable cities go hand in hand - excited to see more research.

@ATL311 Fallen tree in the ROW on Niles Ave NW between Rice Street and Tilden Street - can I put in a service request for removal? Thanks!

[Christy Dodson @cs_dodson]

@tkotak013 @MARTAservice @ATLDOT @AtlDistrict3 @WestmorelandATL Yes please - people fly on West Marietta, I’ve had too many close calls on bike and on foot. Need some traffic slowing / calming ASAP, no reason for this area to be a race track.

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how you get mass production of accessible, detached single-family housing, and I've been returning to this classix @OldUrbanist piece on lot sizes: https://t.co/UJMbzqLYuC
