@sundance.bikesky.social any relation? Also I think I have the coolest safety flag on the most boring bike here. Thanks to the quick release for mounting, I brought it on the bus!

Knock knock Who's there? Mushroom Mushroom who? Mushroom for people if cities use land for housing instead of for car infrastructure www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

per the local paper I am "a father of three in Sandy Springs who would rather be riding bikes with his family" www.ajc.com/opinion/2026... also there's a new Urbanism+ label for "Urbanist Parent" , check @labeler.urbanism.plus

what are thoughts on the bus redesign so far? No bus cancellation this morning, but they did skip one departure and I'm 20 min late so

does this restaurant not want me to make a reservation?

Sterigenics update "Kevin Wagner, vice president of the medical sterilizer company Sterigenics, messaged asking that nine facilities emitting the carcinogenic gas ethylene oxide, including near Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Charlotte and Atlanta, be exempted." www.propublica.org/article/clea...

Just tried it out at night. I'm not much of a biker but this thing is bright!

Looking bad for MARTA cancellations after the bus redesign right now, just awful

Driver leaves after hitting DeKalb County school bus full of kids

learning that there are bus bike racks that hold 4. Why does MARTA have racks that only hold 2?

nice graphic in @saraegregory.bsky.social 's story about the new 400 just-one-more-lane project. After construction congestion will be as bad but we'll have more pollution (/ new cases of asthma at all the schools beside 400 and 285) and crashes on local streets www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

First test ride with the LaneSaber went great!

The concerns about interchange details are fair but miss the irreconcilable difference. GDOT aims for greater traffic volume between neighboring municipalities along 285 and Roswell. #SandySprings benefits from less through-traffic on those state roads. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/04/09/g...

@atls.city !set US-GA-SandySprings

At the zoo, saw a really nice, wide, well marked, 'protected' bike lane with plenty of bikers, and a van turning into it

MARTA app crashes, won't display bus location. Seeing it on multiple phones. Is anyone else getting that?

generally a Costco fan so I was happy when they said they could deliver and install a replacement dishwasher in 2 business days less happy when there's no dishwasher and they respond to my question with a big shrug and scheduling a week later in case a dishwasher from points unknown materializes

That aside, good new route for Atlanta Streets Alive. Great to see permanent protected bike lanes. Didn't have to wait long for trains despite single tracking. Finally saw the magnet man!

The Beltline Ambassador pickup is too on the nose

@brooklynspoke.bsky.social hey Doug, here are those videos of Franklin I took. Fwiw I think there are better places to walk to since last time you were there. youtu.be/NRaYy6D34x4 pt1 youtu.be/icdikS75CtQ pt2

maybe a more approachable goal for car-dependent areas like Sandy Springs and most of metro ATL, is to make it safe for kids to walk or ride bikes most places. That's a relatively feasible amount of concrete protection, versus building transit for metro wide connectivity, and inexcusable to ignore

I want more parents to read this until they too demand change from their local maximize-traffic-flow professional at city hall.

www.fox5atlanta.com/news/sandy-s... Warning, video shows violence against children. I do not know their medical condition. Glad the Sandy Springs Police Department apprehended this guy. Sandy Springs needs more public space safe for kids to ride bikes.

"Columbus currently use a total 550 megawatts of power. Project Ruby is requesting access to up to 600 megawatts" saportareport.com/the-affordab...

wow so much MARTA content! Eg digitalcollections.library.gsu.edu/digital/coll...

just saying the #SandySprings Transportation Master Plan should include letting some more kids ride bikes with protection from drivers

For beltline rail but also society in general, I'd like less innovation and more using proven technology to help people saportareport.com/beltline-hir...

Georgia, this is the sort of thinking behind your rising power bills. georgiarecorder.com/2026/02/17/p...

I don't know about the art, but one of these dense midtown condos is selling for 4.8MM. The claims about it being politically difficult in #SandySprings to subdivide are true. But a more useful question is, how many homeowners would like a politician to increase their property value through zoning?

Don't let age hold you back from your dreams bsky.app/profile/flav...

AJC ignoring the main issue. The primary way to increase the population of school age children would be to allow denser and more affordable housing, which is why Dekalb's school enrollment and closure problem will keep getting worse. www.ajc.com/education/20...

@brian-goldstone.bsky.social There is No Place for Us is required reading for understanding housing policy. Said during the Sandy Springs City Council Retreat: "many of those households are leaving Sandy Springs and not necessarily experiencing income growth" www.youtube.com/live/nmcalKY...

when its snowing lawn crews should get the day off with pay

Atlanta mentioned in the new Practical Engineering video about stormwater

this was an effective reminder of how to use basic stop the bleed equipment, without anything graphic. Which I appreciate because I'm easily overwhelmed. youtube.com/shorts/76vXA...

sometimes the pool noodle on a kickstand feels silly, but then I see drivers and I'm glad @sundance.bikesky.social gave me the idea

oh it's me roughdraftatlanta.com/2026/01/12/r...

At school bus dropoff, I heard on their radio that there was traffic on Riverside because a driver hit a pedestrian. It was loud enough for all the kids to hear. I have no further information about the victim's condition. It's horrible how this is normalized, as if only the traffic bears concern.

GDOT blocking the path for the stroller for no good reason youtu.be/OSS9yWgMq6I

Imagine if GDOT closed all car lanes with a sign announcing sidewalk repair a mile down the road

According to the Sandy Springs fire department, a quarter of the fires they respond to are car fires (over sixty per year) and they have had zero EV fires, ever. A lot of people are making bad risk assessments about cars based on what goes into headlines.

Here's a witness describing today's crash into a daycare parking lot, youtu.be/ho8f9pvotFM

Another driver just crashed into the daycare parking lot, where I was filmed for a news segment. Totalled a teacher's parked car. Video to come. #SandySprings needs to hurry up improving this bend in the road, it is unsafe. That sign to the right is new, a driver crashed into the old one last year

Walking out of the Dunwoody MARTA station, my kids commented how our destination was one of the closest to the station but not actually close. Then we talked about the mostly empty MARTA parking deck as we walked past it, before crossing the five lane road. youtu.be/HZwf0au0vDE

my new years resolution is to try to help the city govt make Sandy Springs safer for kids in strollers, walking, or riding bikes
