This would be an improvement! @AtlCivicCircle reports that Atlanta is using most of its housing trust fund on bond debt & employee salaries instead of creating new homes. Councilmember Matt Westmoreland has a plan for ensuring that most of the fund creates affordable housing.

The combo of suburban sprawl and a compromised rail plan has worked to limit the reach of MARTA rail for Atlanta’s regional residents. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a brighter future within the footprint of rail coverage that we do have. threadatl.org/blog/marta-rea…
A long-promised apartment building for low income seniors is slated to begin construction at the empty Civic Center property "soon" & be completed late 2027. $60 mil in funding is secured. No other construction has been announced yet for the property. bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2…
"If the symphony went away, people would [blow] a gasket. If the third string oboe player had to drive three hours to get to a concert, because they’ve been displaced — nobody thinks about that, and they 100% should." - Meg Shiffler, Artist Space Trust nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

Thread co-founder @mwgarbett will be on NPR's All Things Considered this Thursday to discuss the Beltline, it's plans for Murphy Crossing, and their shifting missions over the years.
Congrats to disability advocate Carden Wyckoff for being selected by Atlanta City Council this afternoon as the interim Council member for District 2 (my district)!! Good choice, y'all.
MARTA's interim CEO announces April 2026 as the rollout date for three big things: > A new fare system allowing riders to swipe a credit card > New open-gangway train cars (delayed from this year) > The new bus system routes (also delayed from this year) atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/09/12/mee…
I've discovered a cool trick for avoiding any parking fees in Virginia Highland.
MARTA's interim CEO says the bus network redesign launch will no longer happen in 2025 The redesign reduces the number of routes while increasing the frequency of bus service: martanextgenbusnetwork.com/adopted-final-… A new timetable for the launch is "expected soon." atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/09/09/adv…
A transit advocacy group in NYC uses ATL's failure to get rail started on the Beltline as a warning: build the rail first, before the 'trail' component sparks anti-transit outrage from residents who don't want to rock the booming-property-values boat. instagram.com/p/DN58BSXEbZB
Good writeup on the complexity of providing affordable homes in hot markets of Atlanta through fees, density bonuses, & requirements for below-market-rate units. It also raises questions: how can we also ensure affordable homes are near transit & on safe streets for walking?
Could Atlanta tap Midtown’s explosive growth to fund affordable housing? atlantaciviccircle.org/2025/08/27/mid…
Where should a new Amtrak Location Go? ARC and the City of Atlanta are conducting a study to find the best options to replace the current station, which is too small, not ADA-compliant, and far from MARTA rail. Learn more on ARC's News Center page: bit.ly/41Qbjk4
The attempted sale of six largely-empty office buildings above Peachtree Center MARTA Station tells a sad story about the decline of the Downtown office market. But maybe there's a great new Transit Oriented Development waiting to happen here? 🤔🤞🏻 costar.com/article/138258…
Come mingle, chat, and listen to a few speakers w/us in NW Atlanta @ Washington Park. The Let’s Talk Transit brand and movement these are the communities meetups. See you soon ~ Register: bit.ly/LTT-Aug-2025 @beltlinerailnow @MARTAarmy @gasierraclub
