The latest store is in the highly-desirable former Polo Ralph Lauren store in Lenox. It's on the first level, in the middle concourse of the mall - the highest traffic area. The store is a large space and would be perfect for a great high-end retailer new to Atlanta. Yet Simon has chosen to lease the space to this Know Style store with their tacky cardboardish sign. How the heck do they afford the overhead?? In Perimeter Mall, they're in the old Forth & Towne spot. I always find it tacky when a store opens and just uses their predeccesor's layout.

The Georgia Aquarium will break ground this summer on a $110 million dolphin exhibit that will open in the Winter of 2010. The expansion will add 84,000 square feet to the facility (about the size of two football fields), including a 1.3 million gallon exhibit to accommodate bottlenose dolphins.

Located on the west side of the present building near the Luckie Street parking deck entrance, the building will encompass areas that will include dolphin encounters, viewing windows and dolphin shows. The bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncates) that will initially inhabit the Aquarium’s new building will come from Marineland's Dolphin Conservation Center.

There are a lot of states where there is a bad relationship between primary city & rural state - but it is the most disgusting in Georgia. Unfortunately, the state of Georgia will always be Atlanta's biggest road block. The state has roadblocked special taxing options for transit & development projects in Atlanta, properly funding education, enforcing stricter land use controls & preserving green space from encroaching sprawl.

The problems with atlanta aren't with marta (it IS fairly large... Somewhat lol) but with Atlanta being so sprawled out of control with no thought to transit. Atlanta really needs to develop more around marta outside of downtown. As is, Im sure it would cost WAY to much money to get marta to effectivly cover most of metro Atlanta. With subdivisions going every which way, you would have to build... well more lines and branches from those lines and branches from those branches then the state or fed has money for. While not completely hopeless, I fear that Atlanta has pretty much sealed its fate of being the next LA... so sprawled out, you really have no choice BUT to drive. Don't feel too bad though. CTA has had an uphill battle the last few years to fully fund its operations. It's really becoming a serious issue in Chicago. Here in Nashville we'll be lucky just to get rapid bus transit in the next few years so it looks like public transit is an issue just about everywhere nowadays.

I've always been fairly pleased with the service MARTA's heavy rail has given me, even though it did occasionally break down. It may not serve the city as extensively as, say WMATA serves the DC area, but it got me where I needed to go. Furthermore, MARTA is one of the bigger heavy rail systems in the US when you compare them all.


It is not bigger than (or even close to) BART, WMATA, MTA, CTA, SEPTA, MBTA, etc. For the metropolitan population that Atlanta has, MARTA is seriously slacking. It doesn't even go to Emory, Smyrna/Vinings, and all of the places up 75 plus most of the N. Druid Hills, Toco Hills, area. If the beltline comes to fruition then that will be great for going to bars and games and stuff but it will do nothing to alleviate traffic congestion and the lack of transportation options in the city.]]> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:47:01 -0500 davidb Downtown Atlanta Developments

Now the AJC reports that 58% of respondents in 11 metro counties favor a 1 cent sales tax to fund a specific list of transportation projects, including rail and bus service. The survey was conducted in March for the Transit Planning Board.

The survey comes less than a month after a narrow, last-minute vote in the General Assembly failed to pass (by three votes) legislation that would allow counties in Georgia to join together and tax themselves to fund transportation projects.

QUOTE
The transit board is holding public comment sessions on a wide-ranging plan that would roughly double the costs of transit in the region to $54 billion. The plan calls for expanding MARTA in three directions, lacing the region with bus lines and adding light rail networks that link spots within metro Atlanta and connect it to more distant places such as Athens and Gainesville.

Cobb County Chairman Sam Olens, who sits on the transit board, said greater leadership is needed from the Capitol. "I think that what we've had from the state is a vision that if we do nothing, people will continue coming with those high-paying jobs," he said. "We have more darn plans ... What we need is construction."

I live off of Ralph McGill Blvd close to where the proposed beltine will go through. While I was very disappointed with the ruling against the TAD, I have been very excited by the North Avenue park. Right now if you drive along Ralph Mcgill Blvd or Dallas Blvd you will see that several old warehouse have been torn down. I am pretty sure that this is to make way for the park, although I have been unable to verify this. I am excited, for may reasons, it is a sign that our beloved beltline project is moving forward. It will clear out some of the criminal element that has used this network of warehouses to hide out in. (We have a lot of car breakins on Ralph McGill) Most of all more greenspace for all of our fine citizens to enjoy. For those who are unaware, "plans" are for the City Hall East to be converted from government office to a mixed use activity center. North Avenue Park will originally span about 16 acres from the former City Hall East on North Avenue to Ralph Mcill Blvd. It could then be expanded to around 32 acres and head further south all the way to Freedom Parkway. It will include a pond, dog parks, and skate park. If anyone else has any info please add it. I apologize in advance if this topice has been discussed in another thread or further up in this thread.
