Sad To See This Go Down .... In Flames at that..Voters said Hell NO In Droves it seems...Now We Should Focus 100 percent on starting Commuter rail ...Negotiate with the Freight Rail Companies...Find a private investor or Whatever Involves No new tax and Kickstart this Already...The Only way we are EVER Going to get anything Done is to not ask the People for anything..NO PLAN in my opinion will ever get the support it needs to be successful as we are seeing Right Now...Too Much Bitchin over who gets what and "I dont wanna pay for Midtown Becuase I live Downtown" Shyt is Rediculous...Now The rest of our competitors( Charlotte,Miami,Dallas) can Start snapping up Our Potential Investors...Way to Go Atl.

If they offered a plan like this I think more people would have been on board:

This TSPLOST could have funded expensive improvements to the freight rail bottlenecks and built out most of that system.

What a sad day for Atlanta. This town has zero vision.

When we can't work together as a "region," it's time to develop a different strategy. Atlanta takes up far too much land for people to feel as if they are a part of the same region. I live in Fulton County and I couldn't really care less what goes in Paulding or Walton County. Yet our transportation leaders wants me to believe that we are all part of the same region. I don't believe it. Our common priority is reducing congestion, but we all have wildly different ways of how to accomplish that. People in Atlanta and South Dekalb want rail, people in Cobb and Gwinnett just want wider roads. People in Newton and Coweta just want more roads period.

The idea of regionalism in Atlanta is played out and will never work. There are too many forces in play here.
