Congrats to @cardenonwheels.bsky.social for being selected by Atlanta City Council as the interim Council member for District 2 (my district)! Good choice, y'all. And thanks to @atlpresscollective.com for the great coverage.

East Side Beltline street car extension is: Fully funded Shovel ready Approved by voters Along an already developed area The Southside beltline is: None of those things atlanta.urbanize.city/post/letter-...

While weekend service might be improved, still have to wait 10-15 min for transfers at 5pts and that’s the real killer. I’ve seen 3 WB trains come thru and no EB 😔

Bus driver for the 899 no where to be found 😞 for a 4:50 take off

Someone in the city of Atlanta please create an AI bot that improves the permitting process so that we aren’t wasting Marta board meeting time documenting an exhaustive timeline of what’s been done and what hasn’t been done. Build the trains and automate this stuff. It’s so silly how archaic this is

Atlanta narrowed three blocks of Peachtree Street in 2021 and installed a crosswalk. Then after opposition, the city converted the road back - partly: The crosswalk wasn’t removed, just left it to fade. Last month, a man was hit by a car in the crosswalk and killed. www.ajc.com/news/health-...

No mention of transit expansion or infill stations at the state of the city when we’ve been advocating and waiting for a commitment from the mayor to deliver the news. V disappointed

New tile work at five points is coming along

a nice night for a bus ride round town

🥰🫶 Welcome to the future CQ400 state of the art, open gangway, universally designed, manufactured by Stadler rail cars #MARTA #transit

as @cardenonwheels.bsky.social said on instagram, the large iconography and high-contrast colors inside the train will help low-vision riders navigate the trains

Headed to the State of MARTA for the debut of the new rail cars! Very excited to see our vision come to life

EXCLUSIVE from @thexylom.com: the first of many MARTA Stadler CQ400 trainsets has arrived at College Park's South Yard. The new electric, open gangway trains are projected to take millions of Atlantans off the highway and contribute to city climate targets

Transportation inequity is having to roll 1mi in winter rain at night. It’s coming home soaked & having to roll down the hallway carpet for 10 min til my wheels dry. Equity is building a robust transit network for everyone so disabled ppl are included. But carden least u got some plastic flex posts

Apple Pay now avail on Breeze mobile 🥳🥳🥳 though I won’t use it regularly bc I have a disability Marta card for reduced fare, it’s a big win for the region. Long overdue and will make it a breeze to ride. Setup instructions at itsmarta.com/breeze-mobil...

The NB Doraville spacing of these trains is a daily problem. It’s so inconsistent that it becomes unreliable.

Make ur voice be heard abt the Bus Network Redesign. Added comments there's no bus service to Krog or Lee+White. I go to these places often and the current conditions are rolling 1mi from a train stop on bad sidewalks, in the rain etc. Please elevate this comment www.surveymonkey.com/r/MARTANextG...

Delays on N/S and it’s cold out here🥶

stay warm out there 🥶

Let’s unpack Wicked’s #disability narrative. If u haven’t seen the film go watch it. It’s phenomenal. 🧵

1/ Hey y'all! I've been getting a lot of questions about this, so I wanted to share up front why I’m not supporting Councilmember Lewis’s Adair Park data center proposal. 🧵

If anyone needs a holiday gift for a kid give them my book and teach them about disability inclusion Carden the wheelchair warrior a.co/d/974Jqx6

the best part of wicked 🙃🚇

Thankful for the operators working happy Thanksgiving

on the hunt to find a higher res map of the proposed bus network redesign bc the blurry one in the faq is mid

#itsmarta drip drop

can we get some warmer heat lamps up in here? it’s 42 degrees outside 🥶🥶🥶

there she goes 😌 #MARTA

Peak time 27 min for a NB gold line train 😭😭 #MARTA

Transit inequity looks like this. The bus stop heading EB from the Works at Southland Cir is not wheelchair accessible and no sidewalk so gotta roll a good distance to Ellsworth for an accessible stop in the dark #marta #transit

bus life in route to Chattahoochee works via the 14 #MARTA

🐶🐶🐶 #MARTA

Renaming #MARTA bus routes powered by AI in anticipation for the bus network redesign. Wayfinding should be easy not complicated

Take the 12 or 14 to the Westside from Midtown station 🚌

An easy win for accessibility #MARTA can do is deploy the ramp when waiting in the bus bay. Many times drivers are taking quick breaks and I sit and wait until they come back

Two things: 1.) How absolutely ridiculous! The Beltline is showcasing the multiuse path (for the Atlanta Convention & Visitor's Bureau) by driving vehicles on the path. 2.) On the upside, Atlanta's very lucky to have @cardenonwheels.bsky.social as an advocate -- well done.

Calculated my volunteer hrs for work since Feb1 and it was 142! Community service is a core value of mine 😌

Remember the pods on the Beltline tour last week? I filed an ORA and the tour was hosting Maritz by the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau

I just completed the i285 survey on express lanes and transit options docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... which is open until Dec 18
