Motorists driving in the Castleberry Hill, Downtown and Midtown communities will soon be banned from turning right at red lights. The new law will protect pedestrians as they move around the busiest areas of Atlanta, say city leaders.
Kudos to Atlanta on this.
The Development Authority of Fulton County (DAFC) approved a $10.1 million tax break for a data center expansion by social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.…The AJC reports that the project will not create any new jobs, but it will retain 24 existing employees.
Bad move Fulton. An X data center in the county does nothing for the community; there is no reason to give them a tax break.
If we want to consider the ecological function of our yard, a water source is a foundational habitat element.…[A] self-sustaining above ground wildlife container pond increases biodiversity by offering food and shelter in addition to water.
This looks like a great guide on adding a native plant container pond. Especially if you’re in the Atlanta area as she has some location-specific plant notes.
We’ve seen…increased road congestion that the BeltLine was always meant to relieve. Density makes sense along a transit corridor, but take away this key ingredient and you’re left with a linear park for the privileged few, which was never the intention.
Atlanta needs more transit and fewer people trying to pull the ladder up behind them.
