re: How This $4.8 Billion Walkway Is Redefining Atlanta

I like the one with the rainbow tutu and what looks to be butterfly wings riding the bike.

Long term funding and business is set up by the powers at be. Before LBJ and Bush and Carter those cities were lesser than New Orleans. This is fact.

Congressman Hale Boggs was sort of being groomed for a run for the Presidency around the time those three were coming up, but died in a rather mysterious plane crash in Alaska (plane actually just "disappeared:).

Maybe you're on to something here.

cool idea, but they need to figure out a way to make it 26.2 miles long.

I'd design it to be 28.3 miles long.

Greenville, SC has a similar greenway that has encouraged new/redevelopment all the way to another town, Travelers Rest (a bedroom community 10 miles away). It’s nice to have this amenity.

People need to understand politics. The only reason Atlanta is Atlanta and Houston is Houston, etc… is because they all have had Presidents in the White House. If anyone from Louisiana ever made it to the White House then New Orleans would have a boom for 30 years plus. That’s how it works. Long term funding and business is set up by the powers at be. Before LBJ and Bush and Carter those cities were lesser than New Orleans. This is fact.

ya that’s why

"Mug Me Miles"

Exercising is for libtards and homos. They could've used that space to add another lane to a highway

If they tried that here people would biatch and politicians would balk.

Progressive thinking (Kip's loop and downtown park) isn't appreciated around here.

Little things to make the city better fail.

The city even put out trash cans downtown to help with litter, but folks would rather throw trash down where they stand.

If you've seen the Katy trail in TX or the Highline in Manhattan, you see what they are trying to emulate. But Katy, TX and the Upper West Side ain't downtown ATL.
