More biking, less driving; United, Falcons, Hawks, and Wahoos; dogs and cats living together; e-bikes are a game-changer; @robynturneroverdrive on Threadstagram
People will choose to live a mile back into a one-way in one-way out subdivision in a cul-de-sac 40 miles from downtown and complain about 30 seconds of “delay” added from bike lanes, no turn on red, and other safety measures.
Sorry your 2 hr commute became 2 hr 1 min!
@mwgarbett Like most N. American cities, ATL’s message to children and adults at all times: Don’t even try to walk or ride your bike as transportation; you must drive or be driven everywhere in a metal cage. /1
@NW_Horadam Correction: I shouldn’t say “we” wrote the paper. Members of the board did. I wasn’t involved in that hard work. You should read it if you haven’t.
@NW_Horadam You’re often very insightful and knowledgeable but you have a bizarre grudge against BRN and it shows. I wonder if you’re able to admit when you’re wrong. /end
@NW_Horadam This simply isn’t true. BRN is pro-transit. You’re assuming a scarcity mentality. All along this group has asked local leaders to find more funding to make the pie bigger. That’s why BRN wrote a funding white paper. I noticed a while back you have a grudge against BRN. That’s 1/
@ryangravel I totally agree. Also, the rail would make it even more amazing by helping more people access it and move through it to other wonderful neighborhoods and economic opportunities.
@GregBrown407@Tesho13 Today I ran into a neighbor riding my bike home from work. We chatted. Then I ran into another neighbor walking my dogs. We chatted. Then 2 more neighbors called my name and waved to me on my porch as they rode by on their bikes. I yelled “have fun, be safe.” As it should be.
@DougShipmanATL Say that to @andreforatlanta along with the words BELTLINE RAIL. Can this admin get ANYTHING done? I mean beyond photo ops and filling the occasional pothole. ATL could lead the nation in climate change action, affordable housing, transit, and equity if our leaders had guts.
