From the 2010 Decatur Citizen Survey…

During a typical week, how many days do you commute to work (for the longest distance of your commute) in each of the ways listed below?

[Percentage represents “Percent of days mode used”]

In 2008, the % of commuters driving alone was also 65%, while public transportation came in at 8%, and bicycling registered at 1%.  As for children driving other children to work (I believe it should be phrased “with children or other adults”), it’s grown 2% in two years.

All to say, nothing’s really changed in two years.

Lee reports in on a pretty common DeKalb Avenue event, with a twist…

Commuters were surprised to find the suicide lane on DeKalb Avenue was not green for in-bound traffic this morning. The Atlanta police were gently encouraging some of the more confused drivers.

Is this a permanent change or simply a errant clock?

I grant that the cop is a new touch, so maybe something is up, but the missing weekday morning “green arrow” happens semi-regularly.

Of course, a lack of traffic signals has never stopped many DeKalb Ave. commuters and their God-given right to do whatever necessary to get to work on time.
