A little something for all you LaneSaber and bicycle safety fans! This video shows how easy it is to reach and deploy when you need additional safety. BONUS: Included are some driver “testimonials” showing I’m not blocking them, just slowing down and lowering road stress.
"But during PSC committee meetings last week, Commissioner Peter Hubbard questioned whether the companies’ pop-up power plant is allowed under state law." I'm glad @peterhubbardga.bsky.social won! www.ajc.com/business/202...

Georgia’s first data center ‘pop-up’ power plant is breaking rules, groups say

on our way to a MARTA bus stop, a driver blew through a slip lane without slowing down even as I stood right alongside in the crosswalk GDOT categorically fails at controlling its users or maintaining safety on its right of ways
morning debate about whether mermaids are fish. Clearly their tails move up and down like aquatic mammals, not side to side like fish.
Tragic story. "Besides Sophie, four other Lakeside students were killed in vehicle crashes that year" and it ends “This could be you.” This is a policy choice. There are countries with less driving and fewer deaths per mile driven. This doesn't have to be us. www.ajc.com/news/2026/06...

"Indeed, it is both common and appropriate for ABI’s team to meet with industry leaders," Which industry's leaders? What city relies on these AVs to move as many passengers as a streetcar line? Seems @atlantabeltline.org is lying about their actual motivations. www.ajc.com/news/2026/06...

Sandy Springs has a choice. Will the city be designed around kids or cars?
Sandy Springs officials know that the city's housing policies are pushing people out and transportation priorities are causing more congestion. There is a better way.

what are thoughts on the bus redesign so far? No bus cancellation this morning, but they did skip one departure and I'm 20 min late so

learning that there are bus bike racks that hold 4. Why does MARTA have racks that only hold 2?
nice graphic in @saraegregory.bsky.social 's story about the new 400 just-one-more-lane project. After construction congestion will be as bad but we'll have more pollution (/ new cases of asthma at all the schools beside 400 and 285) and crashes on local streets www.ajc.com/news/2026/04...

The concerns about interchange details are fair but miss the irreconcilable difference. GDOT aims for greater traffic volume between neighboring municipalities along 285 and Roswell. #SandySprings benefits from less through-traffic on those state roads. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/04/09/g...
GDOT plan for I-285, Roswell Road interchange alarms Sandy Springs officials
There is no timeline when the I-285 bridge at Roswell Road will be replaced as part of the top-end express lane project, according to GDOT.
