Mayor Dickens has walked back on Beltline rail, now saying that analysis will decide if the path gets rail or "rubber tires," "small pods" or nothing at all. Similarly, Beltline chief Clyde Higgs says their "position on all things transit" is yet to come. atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/04/16/atl…
It's been one heck of a head-spinning year for transit commitments in Atlanta. The project list for the More MARTA tax we approved is getting bounced around like a ball on a court, along with our expectations for transit growth. There's got to be a better way.
@ThreadATL So much for leadership…so much for campaign promises…so much for commitments…
@ThreadATL Anyone who did not expect there to be shenanigans with the Beltline rail must be new to Atlanta. 🤬
@ThreadATL We've been "studying" rail on the Beltline for 30 $&#$&#*$Q#*&*$Y#* years! But THIS one is needed to know sure. I'm so done with this city.
@ThreadATL Trust in the city is already at lows when it comes to getting stuff done. Are you OK with this, @AmirForATL, @jasonsdozier?
@ThreadATL Absolutely insane. You have a dedicated, mostly grade-separated right of way. Speed should be a major priority.
