Atlanta Mayoral Candidates Support Greener Transit Options in Spirit Only

Decatur Metro | September 2, 2009

Jeanne Bonner reports over on Atlanta Unfiltered that Atlanta Business Chronicle reporter Maria Saporta laid into Atlanta’s mayoral candidates during a Citizen’s For Progressive Transit transportation forum last night, using some of those age old “you talk the talk, but do you walk the walk?” questions.

To rattle down Bonner’s compiled list of answers to questions asked by Saporta:

  • none of the Atlanta mayoral candidates regularly take MARTA
  • none of the candidates live in neighborhoods that traditionally have sidewalks
  • none are avid cyclists or bike commuters

That said, all the candidates say they are strong supporters of alternative transit options in Atlanta.  However, it’s one thing to show support and another to live the life.  For people with the means to choose where they live that choice often can say more about a public figure than a stump speech or a kiss on your baby’s forehead.

So, if you’re an Atlanta voter and alternative transportation is your primary concern this election, find some other issue to be passionate about because transit isn’t a strong suit for any of these candidates.

Unlocked Cars Targeted in Winnona Park

Decatur Metro | September 2, 2009

DecaturWineandFoodDude sent in this note posted recently on the Winnona Park list serv…

Three car break-ins over the last week (two last night across from the school on Poplar) in Winnona Park. Cars were unlocked (judgment reserved), but still worthy to note. Nothing major taken, but appears to be some late night activity going on.

Emory Offers Voluntary Quarantine to Students with H1N1

Decatur Metro | September 2, 2009

From this morning’s AJC…

Emory University has moved about 50 students with swine flu into a separate dorm, where they are not attending classes and school workers are delivering food to them, officials said.

“The idea is to keep them separate from the other students while they recover,” Emory spokesman Ron Sauder said.

That dorm on the Druid Hills campus had been left open at the beginning of the school year.
