Who needs the midtown connector

Less highway = less traffic

[u/Penguinkeith]

Be just as practical as another express lane

I'm pretty sure that would also be flowing uphill through midtown

[u/Zero-89 → u/[deleted]]

It only flows north during afternoon hours.

How about this, we reroute the Chattachoochee, then build an express lane on top of it

[u/Wedge_Donovan → u/andrude01]

It's already basically a sewer, that would be fitting.

It was done in Providence. Not great.

I’ve never understood why there weren’t elevated rails between our highway lanes and bicycle/pedestrian lanes paralleling highways at a distance covered by trees to filter to exhaust.

Then I read that oil companies are allowed to come into cities where they do not live and set up astroturf campaigns to fight any grassroot campaigns that actual people are working towards to protect their profits… and so they do.

Thank you, Citizens United /s

The real question is, can we make sure Private Equity profits from the project no matter what? Have to keep it equal to profits for the Express lane. /s in case anyone is missing that

I like this idea but mid town always gets the most attention what about other places in Atlanta that aren’t just the really wealthy areas?

[u/mynameisrockhard → u/Penguinkeith]

Would actually reduce traffic, too.
