Atlanta Ballet went to bat to keep their MARTA bus stop
Seeing they “fixed” it- with an every 60 min route
It’s a joke. We have gone from no train transfers with a 40 min service to requiring a train transfer and 60 min service.
I have no words for how exhausted I am for this process.

Sometimes your 4 yo is just making random things out of Lego
And sometimes he lines them up and goes “this one is Five Points, then CNN Center, Vine City, Ashby, then West Lake, and H E Holmes”
“Now I’ve got to do Georgia State. It has its own spoiler”
MARTA’s got a fan base, after all

I’ve got to hand it to MARTA, this is a very creative way to get a lot of collateral printed on short notice when you realize you forgot to poll the people who actually currently use your buses.

When a MARTA bus route gets changed, you get signs at the stop soliciting feedback.
When the whole MARTA bus network gets changed, you get a note on the homepage a day before some last-minute scheduled meetings to gather public feedback.
You can’t make this up.

The first picture is the current tallest building, the other pics are representative of the area, including the public park recently opened on the Highline which makes use of the old railroad tracks.
I’m pretty damn YIMBY but if I lived here I’d be bummed about this project, too.

Like, yeah, I’m very “build, baby, build” but I can’t look at this neighborhood and hear folks pumping the brakes on a skyscraper that tall and think “what’s this NIMBY nonsense”

As Disney continues to sell out of the Premier Pass during the holiday season- a reminder of the disabled folks who are no longer being accommodated by Disney…
(I didn’t create this list and can’t verify the stories, but these are consistent with other DAS denials I am hearing)

Remember that first, intense relationship you had- maybe in college- where everything they did and said set you on fire?
You can’t remember everything, but everything you do remember was hot and profound.
Facebook memories can help with that:

For reference- the stop on the left will be replaced with an after dark 1/2 mile walk through the street on the right.
With children. No sidewalks. I literally don’t even think I can do it.

This is what the Route 1’s reliability issues cost me today.
I truly believe the network redesign is being done with the best of intentions, but this is a system that cannot run the service it has. I feel like I’m screaming into a void.

Currently in a Lyft b/c only 1 bus on our route, opposite of where it should be & no cancellations listed. Will have spent over $50 on Lyfts today
This is where we wait, but there are sidewalks. There aren’t on the walk we will have to take if the Network goes through.

Case in point- currently in a Lyft because only 1 bus in on our route, opposite of where it should be, & no cancellations listed. Will have spent over $50 on Lyfts today. This is where we wait, but there are sidewalks. There aren’t on the walk we will have to take if the Network goes through.
