Atlanta’s e-bike rebate is coming back! 🚲
Atlanta City Council has approved a resolution, championed by Councilmember Matt Westmoreland, to renew the city’s wildly successful e-bike rebate program. $1 million will again go to the Atlanta Regional Commission and Propel ATL to run the program.
Neighbors showed up and showed out in Oakland City.💛
Over the weekend, residents, volunteers, and partners turned Merrill Ave. into a hands-on opportunity for safer streets—installing a walk lane to better protect people on this frequently used neighborhood street.

Bus schedule
The GOOD news: MARTA trains are still running this weekend during the winter weather! Rail to the rescue.
The BAD news: almost all bus routes are cancelled beginning Saturday morning. Only these eight will be in service.

The streetcar is coming back Feb 3rd! I'm excited. I like our little streetcar (though I'd like it even more if it was on the Eastside Beltline too).

Busted sidewalk
I'm navigating a busted sidewalk tonight while watching cars sail by on smooth asphalt, fresh from a recent resurfacing.
Maintaining car lanes while allowing sidewalks to crumble is a choice. It's not inevitable, and the city can make better choices.
The Chattahoochee Works. Huge missed opportunity not having enough secure, micromobility parking. Given the site is on the Silver Comet Connector Trail. It's still drive-to urbanism, good design, but it's too auto-centric.
Imagine if cities demanded the same of car manufacturers.
Marta’s new trains can’t come any sooner. These door closing issues are getting old.
Talking about perfect timing: Aventon launched an e-bike trade-in program last Friday. They are offering riders a $200 bonus when trading-in an e-bike, *including Rad Power Bikes*, toward a new Aventon. It appears that the trade-in credit might be able to be stacked with Black Friday deals as well
Imagine a town with only burger joints and one or two salad places 20 miles away. It would be hard to say the evidence is overwhelming that the majority of the town’s residents prefer burgers to salads. To me, that’s the suburban/urban housing preference debated distilled to its essence.
The Northwest Beltline Trail in Blandtown features some swings. Nice to finally see some seating along the trail.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) on X: Excited to have taken the Amtrak train from Philadelphia to NYC. And the number one issue I hear about from my wonderful district in Georgia all the way to NY is “get us some health care that’s affordable!” Amen I agree! I’m trying! Where is our Republican plan?
Welcome to the War on Cars... Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene?

‘Future of Transit in Atlanta’ town hall will explore solutions to area’s traffic, transportation
A map of the beltline east extension for the ATL streetcar. A topic of transit for years in the city that has once again been further delayed.
A rendering of a streetcar on the Atlanta beltline
Reminder that the ATL streetcar isn’t a failure. It’s just incomplete. Atlantas city government should be ashamed that the belt line streetcar hasn’t even laid down track yet.
Months-long shutdown will address utilities, infrastructure upgrades; shuttle to be offered
BREAKING: MARTA CEO Collie Greenwood is officially retiring. The MARTA Board has just voted to accept the early termination of his contract due to "immigration and personal matters." Rhonda Allen, MARTA's Chief Customer Experience Officer, has been named as interim.
Final missing link for Westside Trail opens soon to public, connecting downtown with southside
Glad to see the trail between the Beltline Westside trail and Ashby station being extended to make going between the two safer and easier.
