A surface parking lot in a historic commercial node turned into homes and businesses. The Make Atlanta 1988 Again regulars said this building would destroy the neighborhood, but with it, East Atlanta is stronger than ever.

Dear NPR. No. Just no. This is not how you help. One of the several thousand actual road safety experts here. We are easy to find. Maybe give one of us a call next time, ok?

We're gonna drop an exclusive story about H-1B work visas at @thexylom.com shortly. It will be unpaywalled as always and you'll want to read it

Oh not much, just biking past a freshly drained outdoor pool that will sit empty for 10 months of the year and thinking about which kinds of seasonal-use infrastructure are valued by my society

People's faces when I say we can walk to a place and then I say "it's only half a mile"

BREAKING: The Board of Immigration Appeals is trying to deport our client Mario Guevara, a journalist from El Salvador, despite his clear legal path to residency and an immigration judge's order to grant his release on bond.

City Council heard from a crossing guard at Bear Creek Elementary that in 2020 he saw an 15 kids on avg walking or biking to school. Today they are up to 75 and talking about needing a bigger bike rack. Every one of those kids arrives more ready to learn. This is what progress looks like!

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"

Slower speeds save lives: "...there were 2,638 people injured, including deaths, on low-speed roads in the most recent 18 months, compared with 3,520 injuries between April 2022 and September 2023, a reduction of 25%."

Images and footage of US President Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle as a three-day state visit to the UK got underway. Campaign group Led by Donkeys shared footage of the projection on Instagram with the message, “Hey Donald, welcome to Windsor Castle.”

"Where debate and opposition has arisen is not the building itself—but about the who—the residents that will ultimately live there." Not unexpected but it's still so disappointing to see

This would be like $40-50 at Evergreen or Little Tart 😩

Electric bikes are surprisingly great for mild cardio exercise, which is one of the best things we can do for health. Although ebikes are less exercise per mile than regular bikes, they tend to get ridden a lot more miles because they're so fun.

The Atlanta City Council selected Carden Wyckoff, a disability advocate, to fill the District 2 vacancy through the remainder of the term—104 days from today.

If you make your city pleasant and safe for people to walk and bike, they will do so in droves. #Atlanta #urbanism #walkability #OpenStreets

2 year old came up and sprayed me with the bidet while I was cleaning the toilet. Just unleashed it on me like a super soaker jet to my stomach One of those moments where you question if your whole life is just a joke

Señor Toro, bienvenido a la guerra contra los coches.

That's our first Bullitt with our homemade Carla Cargo trailer! This was the Carry Sh!t Olympics by @zackpizzabikes.bsky.social I believe! We missed the competition this year as it fell on the same day as my kiddo's birthday party. So cool to see! Here's a pic from yesterday's birthday party haul.

I've discovered a cool trick for avoiding any parking fees in Virginia Highland.

In 15 years MARTA has built *checks notes* nothing...?

Seeing more and more people using the REV Saint-Antoine (a new east-west express bike corridor on the southern edge of downtown Montreal) as it becomes more connected and seamless. It currently covers about 4.5 kilometres (3 miles).

That feeling as a parent when you get your kid to try a vegetable and they actually like it

Yeah I think I'm tapped out of social media for the day/week/month/year see y'all later

What's the best way to get to a MARTA station on the red line from the beltline by bike? I've been biking up to Piedmont Park and then cutting over on 10th street which has patchy bike lane coverage or 12th Street + Peachtree which has ridiculous hills to get to Midtown station. Any other ideas?

The new Azalea Fresh Market is one of the coolest things I've seen in Downtown Atlanta 😍 It's a full grocery store with bread, meat, produce, cleaning products...& zero parking, just as it should be for this location. Best wishes, you beautiful thing! www.instagram.com/azaleafreshm...

I want the place I live to look like this. Please can we make it happen Atlanta

At its heart is a simple but radical idea: reconnecting a fragmented city divided by wide roads and fast traffic. A dramatic reversal is proposed, turning asphalt into attractive tree-lined streets and squares—where people can stroll, meet and linger—allowing them to function like a living organism.

With this project now in the planning stages, this is why it's now time for us to voice our support for changes — like safe crossings, additional bike lanes, and bike-lane protection — to make this stretch safer for all users.

The good news: Peachtree Center Ave in Downtown Atlanta has been resurfaced with a two-way protected bike lane The bad news: Atlanta City Councilmember Antonio Lewis just introduced a resolution urging Mayor Andre Dickens to provide free public parking at or near City Hall, which this road leads to

(*laugh/cries inside that THEE Brent Toderian just did Atlanta like this*) At least there's a protected bike lane there now, though! maps.app.goo.gl/CkqiESL5pbPR...

I don't know what water softener salt is and I'm kind of afraid to ask

A few years ago I bought a used radwagon, not sure how often I would really ride it. I loved it so much, life changing really, that a little over two years ago I bought this Urban Arrow from @americanfietser.bsky.social Since then I've done over 4500 miles and enjoyed (almost) every one of them!

Flavored coffee beans are an abomination

"Among those detained were South Korean employees on business travel.... "The raid could raise concerns for South Korean companies that are sending personnel to the US and hiring locally." It comes weeks after Hyundai pledged $26 billion in US investments. Gift link ⬇️ www.wsj.com/us-news/u-s-...

What's up with all the little delivery robots on the beltline lately? I've been seeing a bunch of them sitting around everywhere especially near Krog st. Yesterday I saw a group of Atlanta Beltline officials taking pictures of them

Oh, you drive a car? What do you do when it’s the most glorious late summer afternoon for a commute and riding a bike to work will cure you of all that ails you? #ebikelife

Drivers will soon see lower speeds on some major thoroughfares in Decatur.

Cities will pave residential streets like an airport runway and then wonder why their infrastructure maintenance costs are always in the red.

One of my first tweets as bike mayor was about how my bike is my mobility aid. Some old crank replied that I can’t be disabled if I ride a bike. Anyway, I achieved peak mobility aid today when I transported my electric wheelchair on my e-trike so I could *finally* enjoy Halifax’s Public Gardens.

There needs to be a camera outside el tesoro so that I can check the line before I start walking from my house

I think I’d be letting @americanfietser.bsky.social down if I didn’t post this #carryshitolympics. Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth.

Let's get to the results. SF only issued warnings for the first several months of the program, along with putting up plenty of warning signage. This had a *huge* result! On the 33 speed camera locations, drivers traveling >11 mph over the speed limit fell ~75%! That was just with warnings!

3 miles an hour under the speed limit is my preferred act of political resistance
