The proposed Savannah-Atlanta train route is so heavily needed in Georgia. Traffic between Macon and Atlanta is so heavy almost all the time, it would be such a relief to what is one of the most backed up roads in the nation.

Nothing urbanism related, just the inside of the base of a water tower.

I'm visiting Atlanta, and went to eat at a pizza place about a mile or two away from Midtown. I got there and noticed two people waiting across the street for a bus. I was completely done eating by the time the bus finally arrived. Our cities need more frequent service almost everywhere. #urbansim

The City of Pensacola plans on introducing multiple new mixed-zoning neighborhoods with lively, walkable places. Their priority is around Carpenter's Creek, where they plan to make a mixed use neighborhood with a system of trails and parks, similar to areas around Atlanta's beltline. #Urbanism

This PNJ article is on how traffic congestion can be lowered in Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Beach, but not once does it mention reliable, frequent public transportation or access to the beach by any modes besides car. #urbanism

Pensacola Beach is jammed with vehicles, visitors. What's being done to ease gridlock?
Escambia County held a townhall meeting on Pensacola Beach traffic congestion. Engineers say progress is being made, but more can be done.

The Congress for New Urbanism has released the 2025 edition of "Freeways Without Futures", a list of near end of life urban freeways that the CNU believe should be torn down and converted into people friendly spaces. @cnunewurbanism.bsky.social

Congressman (R) Greg Steube introduced a bill which will eliminate funding for the Washington Metro's transit authority if the Metro is not rebranded after Trump. The Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA) would be renamed the Washington Metropolitan Authority for Greater Access (WMAGA).

The Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association sent a letter to Governor DeSantis today asking for a veto on senate bill 180, due to it being too vague on regulations the bill will impose after natural disasters.

2.5 Million people visit Pensacola Beach every single year. 5,000 people are employed by business which are on Pensacola Beach, and the majority of these workers live on the mainland in Pensacola or Santa Rosa County. Despite this, bus service to the Beach is limited to only running thrice a day.
