NIMBYs use "historic character" and tree protection to stop more housing units from being built. Landmark District zoning is a double edged sword. It locks in low density, SFH-only housing in perpetuity while also making renovations more difficult for existing property owners.
Previously this block of Trinity Ave was unprotected. But now flexposts have appeared to keep drivers from parking in the bike lane. Another success story for @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social
FIFA World Cup visitors are here on Peachtree Street for the semifinal. Making Downtown Atlanta feel alive.
This leads to the Hemphill Reservoirs with a view of the Buckhead skyline over water.
New 17th Street sidewalk. Or is it wide enough for a side path? Beautiful views of the skyline.
Bicentennial license plate from Illinois. Happy birthday USA. 🇺🇸🦅🎆
Nothing says Midwest like swimming between 2 steel Mills on Lake Michigan.
The @cityofatlantaga.bsky.social DPW bike lane sweeper does exist!
FIFA World Cup Fan Fest at COP. Free event but tickets but be acquired online.
Atlanta has done several quick build bicycle infrastructure projects that should boost the bikeability score. With 2 protected cycle tracks bringing visitors directing to the stadium's front door.
All they have to do is move this jersey barrier to create a protected micromobility lane along COP Dr, connecting Portman PATH to MBS. @howephil.bsky.social @letspropelatl.bsky.social
