Heck, replace all local routes with rapid routes. And regardless of surface rail or bus, let's get some traffic signal syncing, and transit lanes.

Anyway, Northside Dr needs to be a complete street, with lanes for cars, lanes for transit, and lanes for bikes. And with good sidewalks and crosswalks. Ditto for every other major street and road around town.

You start out with that solid public infrastructure, then new private development can complement it.
Totally agree. Develop complete streets, bring in modern buses with good signalization and let private development do the rest.

Hear, hear!

I do think we the citizens of Atlanta should push to have signal prioritization included in all infrastructure projects that will include signal upgrades, this includes all projects related to the Infrastructure Bond.
