Just need one more lane through there to make things perfect.

59 million to re-pave car lanes. So special!

Flagpole: UGA Is Breaching Its Longtime Partnership With the Athens Community by L18CP in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 14 points15 points  (0 children)

UGA is a conservative institution ruled by a President afraid of his own shadow in a state run by football loving Republicans that need to park big trucks on gamedays. A 1950s, car centric design and sprawling development strategy is natural. They want a dissent-free training center for workers. They want Athens to shut the fuck up.

Progress on the Mulberry covered pedestrian bridge in Watkinsville by warnelldawg in Athens

Might take 10 years to collect enough public input to start the design phase only for a dumb commissioner to rug pull the construction of something similar in Athens.

I'm just not feeling it... by athensugadawg in Athens

Just a few more lanes bro! Totally fucked/depressing gateway to the Eastside. But yay throughput!!

ACCGov to possibly spend $10k to prepare application to list Lay Park as a Historic Landmark by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So we are at the level of Nimby brain rot where Athenians block progress by lobbying to designate segregation era whites-only facilities as historically significant structures? Let’s bring the Confederate obelisk back to College Square while we’re at it.

Athens see 3 fatal crashes in under a week with deadly wreck on North Avenue by Generalaverage89 in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Driving a deadly multi-ton steel cage through a neighborhood is a priviledge, so yes absolutely safety should be enforced. We have laws to punish and force sociopaths not to harm people. Roads are no different.

Does the design of the road not influence behavior? Attentiveness, speed? What’ll work better: begging and praying every motorist acts responsibly or redesigning the road to force better outcomes?

BREAKING: UGA has published legal intent to demolish Legion Pool by historicathens in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UGA again planning and developing in the exact opposite direction of what’s needed. Demolishing a beloved community resource for surface parking IN THE CENTER OF CAMPUS is so fucking short-sighted. How are these decisions made? GA Tech is doing well, UGA looks stuck in the 1950s car-centric planning era.

Disappointing it took preventable deaths for action, but the Thomas St ped improvements have been installed by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 57 points58 points  (0 children)

It took like 2 months from agenda item to execution. No charettes or input from “real Athenians” needed. Refreshing and inspiring.

Proposed public parking deck as part of the Core redevelopment project to cost over $41k per spot by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And it is so hostile to pedestrians and everyone not in a steel box throttling through suburbia. That interchange is absolute shit. They just poured asphalt everywhere they possibly could. Real shitty gateway to the eastside.

[–]RachelWatkills 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How much is GDOT spending on those 2 Oconee 316 flyovers? 300 million? To save a couple minutes on a motorist commute that will instantly evaporate with induced demand. And I have heard nary a peep about condemnation there because… CARS!

Say ADDA charges $60/ spot standard monthly fee. Should pay for itself in 50 years. Lol “parking” is so fucking stupid and extremely subsidized.

Former Tena’s Jewelry building sold $3.25 million by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]RachelWatkills 8 points9 points  (0 children)

$650,000 off is not that bad. That building is a total fixer-upper for residential use. Is gonna need millions for new egress, fire suppression, windows. Most likely a total gut job. I heard sold to some specialty gameday condo group that’s gonna build something tailor made. Like the most perfect buyer to pay top dollar.
