If @betteratlantatransit hadn't blocked everyone calling out their BS, I'm sure they would have a purely fact based and not whiney response to this.

This has to be a joke right? Only councilmember in the city fighting for working people and then you get the "it's a linear park for me and my dog" crowd pretending like they care about good stewardship of our money.

Then why is the NRI something that has been thrown together in the last 5 months?

When real people speak on the TADs and the NRI, they are skeptical. The Mayor spending $370,000 on consultants to manufacture consent for this project gives everyone pause.

They would never consider taking property from bad landlords. Let alone committing to actually building tens of thousands of actually affordable housing units, 60% AMI is not affordable housing.

Here's the More MARTA IGA. There's no allowance for a pause that disrupts the timeline for projects. Clearly, only a public MARTA Board vote has the power to make big changes that affect the timeline. City Council needs to have our backs on this. aimewebapp.blob.core.windows.net/finalactions...

Hundreds of protestors are on the march from the ICE office in downtown Atlanta to the Georgia State Capitol building. They are calling anti-Trump slogans after ICE officers killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday and shot two more in Portland on Thursday.

You don't need to divert funds from our public schools to make food banks. We can fund our schools and feed Atlanta, it doesn't have to be one or the other. If you want 250k worth of money to help people who need it, consider diverting some of the money we spend trying to police them.

In November 2024, before Mayor Dickens axed the project, Smith was still on the record that her NPU was “supportive of transit on the Beltline.” It took less than a week after the Portman donations went through for her to change her stance against MARTA, which operates the Atlanta Streetcar.
In a November 2024 interview, Chairperson Courtney Smith said NPU-E was “supportive of transit on the Beltline” and “[o]pen to exploring what it looks like.”85 While NPU-E neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest and Ansley Park are “all predominantly single-family neighborhoods,” NPU-E overall is made up of roughly “50% single-family focused neighborhoods and 50% multi-family neighborhoods,” Smith explained.86 The impressive development around the NPU’s dense neighborhoods like Midtown are a part of the “Improvement District” whereas the “Garden District” is mostly houses.87 In a recent survey, Rao and others witnessed that the more populous urban NPU-E neighborhoods like Midtown, Georgia Tech, and Atlantic Station all supported Beltline rail.88 Older residential areas like Ansley Park were not ready to commit, however.89 Those residents expressed fears that Beltline rail would erode the buffer between historic single-family and commercial areas, already fraught with tension arising from “incompatible land uses.”90 In that survey, NPU-E ultimately refused to express support for Beltline rail; it gives each neighborhood an equal vote, thus weighing Midtown and its 19,000-plus residents the same as neighborhoods like Sherwood Forrest with fewer than 500 residents.91CROWDED BELTLINE. Everyone loves a good park — and we do mean everyone.

The Atlanta Beltline, the 22-mile trail along a former railroad, has become so popular that it’s getting harder for people to use it. Our AJC colleague Bill Torpy wrote about the “free for all” among walkers, bikers and scooters earlier this year.

Now, it’s becoming an issue in Atlanta’s District 2 City Council race. Candidates for the downtown district weighed in during a forum on Tuesday sponsored by the Committee for a Better Atlanta.

“The Beltline itself is very crowded,” said candidate Kelsea Bond. “I think this means we need more dedicated bike lanes and a network throughout the city so we’re not crowding everybody on the Beltline.”

Jacob Chambers said the city needs to complete “projects Atlantans have voted on and paid for,” including light rail. Voters approved a project way back in 2016 to extend the Atlanta Streetcar by the Eastside Beltline trail — a project that has fallen behind schedule and prompted Mayor Andre Dickens to look elsewhere for the project’s first phase.

Transportation was a big topic overall among the candidates, with Ocean Zotique and Alex Jones saying the city needs to make the Beltline more accessible while Courtney Smith said “simply spending more on MARTA” is not a solution.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social should resign. Disgusting and racist behavior to suggest with no basis, over and over again, that the next mayor of New York City is calling for all Jews to be murdered. You are not a representative of the people and certainly do not belong in elected office.

Anybody fighting against affordable housing in the city because they are worried about "the character of the neighborhood" (direct quote from those fighting against it) should consider moving to somewhere like Johns Creek, I'm sure the character of that neighborhood will fit their lifestyle better.

The people organizing against it have created multiple different email chains trying to fear monger about the project. From their words, it's apparent they don't want any multi-family homes next to them.

A $3 million dollar gift to a consultant that will put three of these on the beltline just to say that it will not solve the problem unless we give them $50 million more. Anything to not build real transit in this city.

The moratorium City Council placed on heavy equipment during sweeps ends this month. It’s essential that the plan to move forward is not just based in compassion and respect for houseless neighbors, but that’s its evidence-based and data-driven. Sweeps don’t work.

🌷Happy Women’s History Month! 🌷 It was great to attend the Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council’s Women’s History event last night. With both women’s rights and unions under attack at the federal level, it’s even more essential that we organize on the shop floor to fight back!
