Here's an idea for the less car-centric generation of Atlantans of the future who will be more open to stuff like this:

You could basically string together the parking lots of Little Five Points to make a spur trail of the Atlanta Beltline.

Yes, it's private property now. But we moved a historic church for a stadium. We collected a ton of properties in downtown for Centennial Park. Atlanta takes some really bold steps to accomplish some things.

Just convince the city that this project would help draw a big sports event and you're fine. 😘

Atlanta City Council votes to support a pause on Five Points Station construction

by Darin Givens | June 17, 2024

Thanks to Atlanta City Council for passing a resolution this evening to support the Mayor's call for a pause on the Five Points Station construction while funding issues are examined.

Though it has no legal weight, the resolution (presented by Amir Farokhi and Jason Dozier) is appreciated as a show of solidarity with the voices speaking out with concern about the construction plan, which will close the station to pedestrian traffic for about four years.

Here's the text of the resolution...

------------

WHEREAS, On June 6th, the Atlanta City Council ("City Council") became aware of the provisional findings from the More MARTA Operational Audit; and

WHEREAS, these included $69.9 million in miscalculations and discrepancies in operational costs, as well as issues surrounding bus enhancement, governance, and gaps in institutional knowledge; and

WHEREAS, subsequently Mayor Andre Dickens wrote to MARTA leadership to call for a temporary halt on the construction of the Five Points MARTA Station and

WHEREAS, City Council stands united behind him in this request, and

WHEREAS, while the findings are preliminary, the figures are so substantial as to necessitate the halt until the data is made final and a public dialogue can ensue; and

WHEREAS, because we cannot, in the interest of good governance, move forward with such a major project when the very foundation of the relationship between the City of Atlanta ("City") and its transit agency is fractured.

WHEREAS, further, independent of the audit's preliminary findings, City Council has been vocal in its concerns surrounding the Five Points Station and

WHEREAS, this includes the fact that proposed improvements do not substantially improve the functionality of the station, and

WHEREAS, the planned four-year closure to pedestrian access in the center city is unacceptable; and

WHEREAS, there is a lack of confidence that this will effectively serve us during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and

WHEREAS, and while we appreciate MARTA's emphasis on tangible progress, in this instance we should take the time to get it right rather than moving too swiftly.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA, that the Atlanta City Council stands united with Mayor Dickens in his call for a temporary halt on the Five Points MARTA Station project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that once the final audit report is received, there should be a public dialogue around the findings and their impact on public trust as well as City Council's ongoing concems around the construction of the Five Points Station

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that these requests are being made with the best interests of Atlanta residents at heart. But also in the interest of restoring trust between MARTA and the City Government. Because the strength of this partnership is vital to Atlanta's futur

It was nice to see Little Five Points packed today for a festival! What a beautiful day to be outside and under the shade of these tall street trees.

Little Five Points development is welcome news

I'm a fan of this new proposal for an apartment building (with hundreds of units, plus retail on bottom) on Moreland Avenue at Little Five Points! This would replace the Camelli's building and the parking lots next to it, adding some much-needed investment in new construction/housing for the area. Also, big thumbs up for the lower-than-usual parking ratio! The proposal has 200 residential units plus commercial space, and only 147 parking spaces. That's good stuff.  I love Little 5 Points for many reasons, but there's no doubt that it's slipped a bit off of many folks' radar as investment has grown closer to the Beltline. Putting more feet on this street is the right thing to do. It seems to me like L5P was largely a drive-to destination for a long time, at least in contrast with the new walk-to format of developments on the Beltline. This kind of new growth could help keep the district competitive and vibrant in a city where people expect more walkability.  The proposal reminds me of the growth in apartments that Decatur experienced several years ago, which put new mid-rise buildings beside the lovely older structures of the downtown. And downtown Decatur has done pretty well for itself as a result. I think good things are in the future for L5P with this kind of growth. (For the record, I was also a fan of the nixed proposal for a mixed-used development replacing the Star Bar building.)

Look, I KNOW he's innocent until proven guilty, and maybe they have the wrong guy, but like. People saying the police planted the evidence to set this guy up?

You're telling me that the police who took three days to find a backpack in Central Park, who had no fucking leads on this guy's identity whatsoever, who didn't even have Luigi on a potential suspect list until they got the call from the McDonald's, who thought the guy had fled to Atlanta, not Pennysylvania... You're telling me that those police, in the five days while they were actively "investigating" the case, in their spare time managed to find the perfect patsy for this - some dude with chronic pain problems who dropped off the grid a few months ago, who is exactly the kind of privileged tech bro who I'm not surprised would get to this point when the system that has served him perfectly for years suddenly fails him spectacularly - and wrote up a manifesto that is quite simple, coherent, and logical and even contains citations?

Sorry, I'm not buying that they're somehow suddenly competent when it comes to setting a Random Rich White Dude up. If the police wrote that thing, it'd be incoherent ramblings so he looks "crazy" and I guarantee you they would have given him some other reasoning besides the health insurance industry being immoral. They couldn't pin in on a black guy because the tapes clearly show he wasn't, but they would have found someone less white than Italian. And they would have made themselves look more competent, by, say, finding someone in the Atlanta area or at least putting his name on their suspect list beforehand.

He's innocent until proven guilty, yes, absolutely. But personally, I think if this guy didn't do it then he was trying very hard to make it look like he did and get caught. He saw how everyone loves the shooter and wanted the notoriety, agreed with the apparent motives, maybe even wanted to take heat off the real shooter.

I do not believe for one second that the cops managed this nice a setup.

ETA: You know what, I hope this guy didn't do it - I hope he noticed he looked like the photos, the motives resonated with him, and he decided the most useful thing he could do is distract the police from whoever the real shooter is for a while, so he set himself up.

And then it turns out that he has an airtight alibi for that day.
