    We didn't need an upgrade at Five Points station. What we need is new trains and buses that keep breaking down every single day. If you are going to upgrade Five Points...then upgrade the rest of the stations like Decatur because those paintings been on that wall every since I was little and im 43 now.

    So all you can do at 5 points is transfer between the north south and east west lines. Cannot enter or exit. Cannot use the bus. For four long years. See if other transit lines pull this stunt.

    I feel like the Midtown connector project might be more useful at this point. I agree that the separation of downtown cause immense damage to communities, but ga tech college students are more likely to use the greenspace, and access to the growing west Midtown area is more important in modern atlanta. Hopefully, both projects can get done. You can never have enough greenspace. I am still concerned about that much traffic being underground and the health concerns, though. Might be cheaper to just dirt over the interstate and force people to use public transportation built in place of it within in the city. Traffic outcomes might end up being better in the long term.

    How would they maintain the section of "capped" interstate? Like repaving and fixing potholes? What about all the exit ramps to get on or off the freeway? Perhaps a series of "green bridges" and new park space in between could suffice. It's too busy a thoroughfare to turn into this oasis

    This is so exciting! I just read an article today sharing that The Stitch is not the only interstate capping project being floated for the city. The proposed Midtown Connector would stretch from 10th Street to North Avenue with a 25-acre park over the interstate, while the long-simmering park over Georgia 400 would provide new greenspace in Buckhead. Along with the $900,000 for The Stitch, the USDOT also awarded $16 million to the Atlanta BeltLine to continue buildout of the Southside Trail. What an exciting time!

    I got here by following the AJC story on Ellex Swavoni's “What Sonia Said”, a phoenix bird. The sculpture is located in Beacon Municipal Center Plaza in Decatur, GA. "Atlantis Rising Ellex Swavoni (@ellex_swavoni) Foam, Polyurethane, and Steel The Afro-futuristic monument “Atlantis Rising” is inspired by the lost city of Atlantis. The shifting colors and design mirror iridescent, deep-sea creatures such as rainbow squid and comic book characters like Galactus. The mighty emerging of the robotic giant conveys power, mystery, and loom as if powerful forces are at play beneath our feet."

    Will the expensive project cause the rent to increase for low income households? Will a portion of that money help the homeless in Atlanta? Will the infrastructure and roads be repaired with any of that money? That is more concerning to me over this new greenspace.

    I proposed this same idea as a design project in architecture school back in 1989 when I lived in Atlanta. Let's hope it gets done. That area is a no man's land of unused and underutilized space in the heart of the city that has so much potential.

    • @Loud.Thoughts
      @Loud.Thoughts 3 роки тому

      But think about it, now you can enjoy that same view for longer chilling at the new park or public spaces created by this project for longer than just driving in the city. They’re not getting rid of the view, but enhancing it.

    • @My-by
      @My-by 3 роки тому

      @@Loud.Thoughts From my understanding the construction will cover the interstate which means it (the interstate) will run under the city from one end to the next. Therefore the only view you will see from the interstate while driving through the city is an under ground tunnel. Which in my opinion ruins the view of the city.
