Honestly I thought it was the part that ran south of Piedmont Park when I first read the article, but when I look at this map it doesn't seem as bad of an omission since the beltline is literally right there

I'm just not convinced there isn't enough room for a full width bike lane here

Street view of Monroe drive close to Piedmont Park and Midtown high school. There are 4 car travel lanes

Just boarded a southbound train at Sandy Springs and it's already pretty full of fans traveling to the world cup match. This train is gonna be PACKED by the time we hit five points

Okay I was a little too cynical before cause they have these working now and they actually have a nice schedule displayed

And by that I mean its blazing hot. Very little shade at the moment. This tunnel was a nice spot to stop and cool off though

Old railroad tunnel made of bricks. Its relatively dark and just outside it are some tall trees giving more shade

Different store but this is too funny

Google reviews for a Blimpie location. The top review is 1 star from Ivan Gomez 6 days ago and it says that the phone number listed for the store is his wife's phone number. The owner replied apologizing for the mistake

Someone told me yesterday on this very app that Waymos are programmed not to block roads

The MLK Cycle track is probably one of the best implemented bike lanes we have in Atlanta, but what depresses me about it is how awful the street access is. There's practically nothing at street level except parking garages and office buildings set so far back you can barely see them.

Google street view of 111 MLK Jr Drive in Atlanta. There's a concrete protected bike lane with flowers.

So glad Atlanta United decided to win the same weekend we made it out to a game

We made it but they are turning people away from the bike valet because its full. Ours were some of the last ones they let in.

Help me out guys I didn't pay attention in social studies: If the mayor wants to invest money in things like affordable housing then couldn't he propose a budget with funding for those things and the city council could vote to approve that budget? Why do we need a TAD? atl.direct/neighborhood...

The Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative Commission, also known as NRIC, was established by the Atlanta City Council to guide and provide oversight for the City’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative. The initiative is a long-term effort led by Mayor Andre Dickens, the City of Atlanta, and community partners to strengthen historically underserved neighborhoods across the city.

The goal is to make Atlanta the best city in the nation to raise a child by investing in housing, infrastructure, transit, and community amenities in a way that is thoughtful, responsible, and equitable.
