Cars are so goddamn inefficient on narrow streets. We need to expand space across Atlanta that prioritizes **everyone outside of a car** to move, gather, entertain, relax, make money, or simply do whatever the hell they want with that space. Our neighbors deserve better!!!

Missed the fun? Also hate stupid high utility bills? Wished it went the other way? Excited to join in ‘26 & ‘28? Don’t care your reason, we should all vote!!! Register to vote **RIGHT NOW** Get your partner to- & all of your neighbors. @civicatlanta mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/voter-regi...

More density is needed, just not sure this is the best way to accomplish that! The same plot could accommodate an 8 unit apartment building!

That R5 zoning in action.

Your mission before 2026 & 2028 elections: -Increase % of registered voters in your neighborhood -Ensure higher % participation for voter turnout in future elections You want to win? You have to play the game & max out votes. Men also need to show the fuck up!!! civicatlanta.org/blog/atl-vot...

Two more duplexes (4 units + 2 ADUs) coming to Reynoldstown.

More housing going up in Atlanta… and a video shoot

Okay how many more PSC seats gotta flip until Georgia starts going heavy on renewables 👀

This slow speed is infuriating, not a reliable way to get to work on time, & frankly dangerously unstable. Regulation overkill

Keep building coalitions & GROW community. Going to need it every single election the rest of your lifetimes, not just up through last night.

Could you imagine Atlanta election turnout if 44% of city council seats were contested instead of being one person on the ballot? And if the mayor had stronger opposition? I’ve said it before- this was a big year to run and it was a mistake not to have more names on the ballot.

People still actively coming in & out of Lang-Carson. Imagine what turnout could have been if we had more contested seats on the ballot? Keep up the energy, GO VOTE if you haven’t, and make plans to vote in every single election moving forward. Every vote matters.

Vote 46 & climbing, 7:30 AM at Lang-Carson polling location

Next wave of condos and townhomes going up in Reynoldstown

ATLANTANS- TUESDAY IS IT. VOTE ROHIT 🗳️ ✅ LOVES ATLANTA ✅ HARVARD & EMORY GRADUATE ✅ POLICY GURU ✅ FOUNDED GOV’T WATCHDOG CCI ✅ RAISED MILLIONS FOR ARTS ORGS ✅ WANTS BUDGET TO REFLECT PRIORITIES GET 5 PEOPLE TO VOTE ALONG WITH YOU LET’S HELP HIM AS HE HELPS ATLANTA

Jumping the gun with a few updates, but might as well: Under Construction -South Boulevard -BeltLine NWT-4 Completed -BeltLine NWT-5 May hold off on Piedmont until the bike lane part actually under construction, not just sidewalks. Need south & west projects to move forward.

Rising up

Real talk- if Atlanta re-elects Mayor Dickens (likely!) *AND* elects Rohit Malhotra as City Council President (tbd!), the policy changes they could implement *TOGETHER* to directly improve lives of Atlantans would be a level we haven’t seen in the city for decades.

If you’re a democrat living in NYC but you’re threatening to flee to Florida… are you really a democrat???

If rich people “flee” NYC, then it sounds like cost of living is about to improve *a lot*

Somehow the block party gets better and better each year

Grant Park people!! Know anyone to run & be on Grant Park Neighborhood Association’s (GPNA) board / be an officer for them? Supposedly the only person running is adamantly against the protected bike lanes on South Boulevard 🤦‍♂️ Don’t let them muck up safe streets!

I AM CONVINCED: Mayor Dickens efforts to fix Atlanta’s income, education, life expectancy, home ownership, & access to groceries & transit inequalities WILL BE SUPERCHARGED IF ROHIT MALHOTRA IS ELECTED CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT. Rohit is a policy expert. Other candidate far from it

The @atlantabeltline ramp to Ponce (almost) opening up reminds me of the gateway trail. Cost millions of dollars and was ultimately replaced with an elevator for a private development, despite that development not really needing the land. Let’s not replicate past mistakes.

If I’m the President of the United States, had courts ignoring historical precedence, & I wanted to make a massive impact on American cities, culture, & transportation, I would simply stop allowing private railroads from making our country their bitch.

👀 Georgia Tech City Planning professors supporting @AtlantaBeltline rail finally back on the offensive against other Georgia Tech City Planning professors who have been disruptors on the topic FOR YEARS. “DISASTER IF WE FAIL TO BUILD BELTLINE RAIL” 💥 www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...

Adair Park proposal: electrical sub-station, data center, strip mall, demolishes active buildings, & adds seas of parking. Site is 1 block from West End MARTA Station & new hospital, as well as walking distance to AUC, Mechanicsville, Mall at West End, & the BeltLine. GTFOH!

Atlanta mayor proposes $1.1 billion for Trails in by extending existing TAD geographical boundaries, yet many Trails ATL projects are not included in TAD geographical boundaries & scarcely any Phase 1 projects (that some I agree with, others not for priority 1)

idk how you enforce that, but if drivers widely understood it was a $500 ticket to do aggressive passing they would not do so much aggressive passing (and would choose other streets I guess)

LOVE the concept of slower streets not allowing cars to overtake (pass by) those on bikes, effectively ensuring their safety.

I also love Portland’s slower traffic bike streets that are regular streets, but I don’t think we’ve banned aggressive passing? inspiring!

look what I got in the mail this week 👀 (i just opened to a random page as a morning meditation on the impermanence of cars) @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Accessories can make or break a cargo bike re: utility. Bonus points when they’re pretty, too!

Wide bike lanes would save lives.

I recall in the BeltLine meeting, Shaun Green said on the record that plans are to tunnel under Hulsey Yard to get to Glenwood.

Atlanta’s TAD extension proposes funding for… many projects already funded in Moving Atlanta Forward (2022) While yes benefit to funding boost, however many have millions (even $10mil+!) allocated & do not need to be doubled to progress. New funds- new projects!!!

Either a typo of Atlanta is proposing Streetcar East go down to Glenwood & tie in with the South & West BeltLine rail. *Potentially* no Irwin St connection OR perhaps does connect & down through Reynoldstown… but doubtful. My $- shared lane in Memorial traffic. Show us maps!

Appears Atlanta’s proposed costs allocated to TADs do not align close with the revenues @civicatlanta reported were raised by each given TAD. Means reallocation of $$$ from “TAD A” to “TAD B” is planned. I get the intent, but GA has strict limits on TAD usage bound by location.

I spoke with Royce and he is against the TAD extension.

Shared with me for next Saturday, join other friendly faces for a morning ride, but thankfully not too early!!! My type of trip. If only there’s also a pit stop for donuts 😆 ridewithgps.com/routes/53099...

Thanks, I was heavily leaning that way already. I’d love to get more engaged with local politics but I honestly didn’t even know there was an election next week until a canvasser for Rohit knocked on my door today.

One has been in office for 8 years and hasn’t moved the needle. The other founded a civic engagement & political watchdog organization, which has been educating & informing the constituency for years. IMO, Atlanta will see far better returns with the latter, Rohit Malhotra.

Rohit went to the No Kings protest AND the Ormewood Park Makers Fair lol

Genuinely debating how much I want to highlight here.

Does the mayor’s TAD redistribute funds from one to another? ~45% ($84.3/189.6 mil per year) would come from the BeltLine TAD extension, where much of what is proposed is not included there, nor Trails ATL Phase 1 Recs aligns in TADs… @atlCivicCircle civicatlanta.org/blog/2025-10...

Glowing endorsement here. Great opportunity to remind Atlantans is you want to see more candidates support your issues, you need to actively sow the field and position a deep bench of potential candidates to run & *maybe* get elected. At every possible seat of influence!

ATLDOT really needs to convert Edgewood and Auburn into one-way streets along the direction of the Streetcar! Should have timed the change with the construction work

New housing going up on Auburn in Atlanta 👀

An eyebrow raiser or two Atlanta City Council endorsements here from @threadatl 👀
