Major construction on the connector
It’s moments like these where we could win so many transit users, yet….

@Urban_Connector I can actually understand a long delay for unexpected utilities at an earlier stage of the project. IMO - at a late stage of a project nothing should delay the opening by 400%!
That said - remember when United bridge would be closed for a few months? Has it been 6 years now?
English
It’s that time of the month again!

SE trail to (officially) open next month
SST to be mainly done by May (?!?!)
The federal grant I thought was lost, was actually received for the NE segment over the rail yard

I don’t think local elected leaders & decision makers realize just how many locals actually *avoid* the BeltLine because of how busy it is and how they cannot reliably ride a bike on it when it gets busy.
Locals *want* a more reliable way to move along it. Trams deliver freedom.

Atlanta, join us in celebrating the groundbreaking of Brownsville Pointe in Historic South Atlanta.
The project will bring 18 apartments, including 12 affordable homes, plus commercial space for a neighborhood restaurant. Take a look at highlights from the groundbreaking.

@philip_atlanta @Urban_Connector Won’t be done until April when they deal with the crosswalk is what I have heard.
English
@Urban_Connector Did you see if they have extended the trail end to Boulevard ?
English
@Urban_Connector I’m banking on the main trail being open - but many of the connections to street not being open. They haven’t even started on some of the street connections yet.
English
I really really want to be proven wrong here but I just can’t see how the Southside Trail could possibly be open in June.
The SE trail looked further along than much of the SST a YEAR ago and still isn’t open.

@1_badkarma @gavin_adams People bring life. Cars destroy street life.
You can have people without having cars. Look it up.

Who was it that said "if you live in a 15 minute city but your barista has an hour-long commute you don't live in a city; you live in an amusement park"

A walkable city is where you have cafes like this. A livable city is where the waiter also lives within walking distance of the cafe.

@flotsamandjet You know what would make it worth it? Not having streets clogged by pass through automobile traffic.
This part of Atlanta is one of the few walkable / transit friendly parts of town. It shouldn’t be ruined by the highways.
English
@JeffDelp Totally worth the $2,500 a month for a studio apartment 😂🤣

@StopmeifImlying @14655116677A @gavin_adams Folks get from NJ to CT without going through midtown manhattan. It’s not that hard of a concept.
The main highway thoroughfare does not need to be (and shouldn’t be ) through the most dense part of the city.
English
@JeffDelp @14655116677A @gavin_adams Absolutely no solution. They'll take Peachtree Street through the city. That fixes nothing
English
@Northie_Stangl @nmmi68 Actually, the downtown area was better off during those 6 weeks . That’s a lessened learned.
English
I understand the sentiment and wish I could waive a magic wand and make Atlanta more walkable but tearing down the connector would be a disaster. One section of I-85 caught on fire and the city was strangled for three months. Ship has sailed.

At what point do we admit that building highways through the center of our cities was a failed experiment? Our streets in Atlanta are insanely clogged because some folks 70 years ago thought it was a good idea. It wasn’t . Let’s tear them out and move on.
English
@gavin_adams Not sending highways into the most dense parts of the city. Cars choke off urban life in the downtown vicinity.
