Fresh off the opening of the Juniper bike lane, the West Peachtree protected bike lane is also starting construction this month?! What an exciting time for cycling in Midtown. #Atlanta #cycling #urbanism

Pardon my language but holy shit I thought I'd be dead before the Juniper street protected bike lane finally opened. #Atlanta #cycling #urbanism

I took this picture from One Atlantic Center in 2012. It's wild how completely unrecognizable Midtown is. #Atlanta

The executive branch is destroyed for a generation. There's no easy way to build back after what's happening and continues to happen.

Yeah I can see that. I like it because even though the design seems basic, Atlanta doesn't have a tall skinny residential box like this yet. The design stands out here, while it would be a dime a dozen in Toronto or Chicago.

If you, like me are furious about the #Atlanta illegal change for the beltline eastside rail, consider emailing a few of these folks, like I did this morning. We need to let them know this is not okay. List with email address and some phone numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Family talks about man killed by fleeing car in DeKalb County A pedestrian was killed Thursday night after being struck by a fleeing vehicle during a police pursuit in DeKalb County, authorities said.

Police chases should be outlawed. This man is dead because the Georgia State Patrol initiated a high speed chase through a residential Atlanta neighborhood. People shouldn't have to fear for their lives when crossing the street.

I missed this event the other day (weekday mid-day) but let's keep the pressure on to improve Peachtree Street in downtown #Atlanta. The funding and programming are already in place. The mayor and DOT need to act now. #urbanism

In DC and the bike lanes are... mostly cleared. Saw a few brave souls enduring the cold weather on bike share. Also the snow is rock hard. #cycling #DC

The MARTA screens are dumb. The scrolling alerts block upcoming train times. This screen isn't even showing the next train arrival, this Doraville train is the second one coming. The number one thing a screen in the station should show is upcoming trains. #MARTA can you fix this? #transit #Atlanta

A screenshot of a Facebook post from councilman Jason Dozier reading: 
Hey all! Now that I represent a portion of Midtown, I wanted to be sure to share the latest on what I'm tracking pertaining to the Juniper Street project.

As you all are aware, we have a major DWM project requiring a full closure at 10th Street that will last for approximately two more weeks. In the meantime, Georgia Power has completed the final signal connection, and the City will begin signal inspections next week, starting at Ponce and moving north. As inspections are completed, sections of the bike lanes will reopen. All bike lanes are expected to be fully open within the next 7 to 10 days.

Will pass along more information as I receive it.
