Biking on Spring Street, Dec 2023

[atlurbanist]

I think it's safe to assume we aren't going to tear down any Georgia Tech buildings to increase road capacity on North Avenue.

Instead, we should be planning for reduced capacity for cars here -- and increased capacity for alternatives to driving. Maybe a light rail or BRT line. Or maybe better conditions for cycling. Or dedicated bus lanes. Or all the above.

Even the much ballyhoo'd Holy Grail of "synchronized traffic lights" won't accommodate this car traffic amid those street redesigns. We have to reduce car trips.

That means not only adding better conditions for alternatives to driving, but also ADDING MORE HOMES near those alternatives. With affordability & anti-displacement components included.

If anyone takes anything away from my 15 years of posting as ATL Urbanist (and as of this month it's exactly 15), please let it be this: adding new transit & bike lanes is important but it's not enough; we have to also make better use of the total built environment of the city by increasing the number of people who can live in proximity to great ped/bike/transit service here -- with an emphasis on lower income groups who are too often displaced to the suburbs and exurbs amid urban transformations.

Mapping project highlights disturbing rise in pedestrian deaths in Atlanta

In 2022, over 35,000 crashes occurred on Atlanta streets. 548 of these crashes involved people walking, biking, and rolling. 38 of these crashes resulted in the deaths of people walking.

Propel ATL has released a new story map, "38 Reasons Why," about Atlanta’s disturbing increase in pedestrian traffic deaths. These trends also highlight a glaring disparity: People walking in Black neighborhoods and in low-income communities are more likely to lose their lives to traffic violence.

also pls pls pls drunk (mutually/accidental) kisses fooooor atlas me thinks 🤩?

Only five weeks (on the day actually) too late for your last prompt but here it finally is. I wanted to finish it on Sunday but of course it got away again. 🙄 Thank you so so much, i loved all of your prompts. 🩷😘

The tinted glass covering one side of the gym turns the world outside into an old film. Modern cars and busses, bikes, scooters and pedestrians move through the sepia-toned air, a surprising amount of them in the rhythm of the hectic bass that is just a smidgen too loud to be comfortable. Technically, Atle's rest time between sets has ended but both Lucas and Charlie are still hovering over at the bar, and none of the other patrons look approachable enough to ask them to spot him. So, he waits. Charlie is filling his bottle with water but his face looks as if he was a general listening to bad news from the front. Lucas keeps talking, his face close to Charlie's ear, his hands drawing wide figures in the air. Charlie keeps listening until suddenly, he doesn't. He shuts off the faucet, screws the lid on top of the bottle, mutters something to Lucas in return, and hurries away while shaking the bottle furiously. Atle watches, unsure whether he should go over. Lucas takes the decision off him when he straightens his shoulders, grabs his own bottle from the counter, and hurries back.

"Everything okay?" he asks.

Lucas smiles. "Sure. He's coming right back in a second. Come on, you're not done with your set." He claps his hands together, and hovers them over the rack, ready to grab them should Atle's arms be too weak.

Atle does not lie down yet but stares at the door to the changing room where Charlie has vanished. "He looks angry? What's wrong?"

Lucas drops his arms, and rolls his eyes. "It's nothing, really. We were just discussing where we'd go out tonight and I may have worded my answer to his suggestion a bit…too direct."

Atle laughs. "So, do we have to look for a hotel, or…?"

Lucas snorts. "He'll be back in a minute. But I'm telling you, I'm not setting foot in a location that gets advertised in the leaflets at the tourist information. I need a real club, in the real London."

"You're such a snob." Atle is still laughing while he lays splayed out on the bench, and he takes a few deep breaths. "By the way, the next time we're coming here, we're taking Aleks with us. Some of these bros really need to be taken down a peg."

Lucas puts his hands in position again. He's brushing against Atle's arm, and a shiver runs down his spine.

"That's a plan," Lucas say. "Now get going!"

Charlie is back to his usual cheerful self when they leave the gym and step out into the bright sunlight again. Just around the corner, hordes of tourists shove each other down Baker Street but they set off in the other direction. They pass a small park with an iron fence looping around, and walk past a wild mix of old brownstones with white-framed windows and modern glass buildings that are glistening in the sun.

"And did you come to an agreement?"

Charlie eyes Atle quizzically. "About what?"

"Where we're going tonight."

"There's only one place where we're going tonight," Charlie snorts. "And I do not take criticism from some hicks who live in a yurt above the Arctic Circle."

Lucas grins, and winks at Atle. "You wished London's clubs were half a cool as Oslo's," he says as they turn into a small alley. It is a dead end with two rows of low two-storey houses facing each other. Here, the noise of the city is subdued, held back by the brick walls. Once upon a time the houses used to be stables for horses but nowadays they are posh apartments for people with deep pockets. Charlie fishes a key out of his sports bag.

"Before you think about throwing us out consider that I'm totally on board with whatever you have planned and I think your taste is great," Atle throws in.

"Traitor," Lucas says, and Charlie laughs.

They leave for dinner when the sun is slowly setting, and shining directly into their eyes as they make their way towards the closest station. The tube is full of commuters who do not have summer holidays and tourists who do, yet they still manage to snatch free seats. While the train is new, the tracks are old, and the waggons rattle as they rush across the city. Atle does not flinch when Lucas' hand settles on the nape of his neck, simply turns his head, and smiles at him. Lucas smiles back, and something heavy clenches around his heart.

"What?" he asks.

Lucas shrugs, his smile unchanged. Across the aisle, Charlie pretends to be deeply captivated by something in his phone, though he has the same frown from earlier in the gym. Lucas' fingertips comb through Atle's hair, and caress the skin around the seam of his shirt. It does not tickle in the least; Atle could sit like this forever, even though he knows something is…maybe not wrong, but also not right. Maybe this is why Lucas dragged him along on this trip. This here, the city with all its concrete and metal and noise is very much Lucas' turf. If it had been up to Atle, they could have gone on a hike around a fjord somewhere, and set up their tent under the stars.

The choice of restaurant at the top of the giant dildo feels like an accommodation to Atle and far too tourist-y, though at least Charlie is just as mesmerised with the view of the sprawling city and the river snaking through it. When their meal arrives, Atle automatically shoves his plate towards Lucas so he can arrange it for the photoshoot. They have ordered drinks, and when their glasses are empty, Lucas flags down their waiter for the next round.

"The season's about to start," Atle reminds him, and adds a little laugh so as not to sound too much like a nag.

"Come on, you're only here once," Charlie answers in Lucas' stead.

They eat, and when they are done they walk back to the tube and rush across the city once more. Their next stop is not just geographically on the opposite side of the city. The stench of warm piss hits them like a wave when they step onto the platform, and Atle pushes the turnstile standing between him and the exit with his shoulder. They follow the stream of people along the cracked pavement, the ground caked with litter, and the walls grey with all the graffiti sprayed over each other. Lucas puts his arm around Atle's shoulder when they get to the bouncer. His eyes take in Atle from head to toe, and when he steps aside he makes sure to convey that but for the grace of Lucas is he allowed to step over the threshold of the rundown warehouse. Here they drink more, wedged between a mass of people and buried under a wall of literally indescribable noise. Atle loses track of time, not in the least because he cannot hear where one song ends and another begins. All he can do is hold on to Lucas, and let him guide the way. Eventually they lose Charlie to a handsome blonde, and when they leave for the toilets, Lucas pulls Atle up to the first floor and onto a worn-out couch. Here, the bass and the music is as loud as it was earlier today in the gym, which in Atle's opinion says everything there is to know about that joint. He has no chance to tell this to Lucas though because he climbs into his lap, and kisses him. Atle lets it happen, his hands wandering under Lucas' loose shirt and moving over the hot, sweat-sheened skin. Ever so often Lucas pauses, his face hovering inches away, mustering Atle with his unreadable gaze, before he kisses him again and again. Atle expects that he will finally find out why they have come here, and why Lucas has been drowning the pre-season diet so thoroughly. The next time Lucas stops, he untangles one of his hands from under the shirt, and pushes his long curls back in soft strokes.

"We won't let things change between us?"

The curls wrap around Atle's fingers and snag on his sticky skin but Lucas does not flinch.

"What?"

Lucas' grip around Atle's head tightens, and this time the kiss feels more pressing, more urgent.

"Whatever happens, we'll always have us, right? No matter what."

Atle laughs. He stares up at Lucas, his mouth hanging open, his brain spinning in his head. Lucas knows they will. He knows Atle will always follow his pace, no matter how fast or how slow he wants to go. He knows Atle is nothing without him.

He pulls Lucas close; plants a kiss on his forehead. "What is going on?"

Lucas freezes, his head bent, his eyes averted. When he eventually moves, he moves with his whole body. Atle stays put, lets Lucas grind his hips against his unmoving groin, and his tongue dart in his mouth, and only comes back to life when Lucas' nails dig into his shoulder blade. Lucas is hard under his wide trousers when Atle's hips shoot up, and the too soft padding of the couch dips around them when he spreads his legs further, giving Atle space to reach underneath the waistband. Atle catches the first moan with his mouth, and the next, and the next.

He does not need to know more.

Epilogue:

It occurs to Atle that Sander is probably spending too much time with Henrik when his first reaction is to lash out straight away.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, asshole?" he yells, and even with his hands balled to fists, and his whole body shaking with anger he still looks like a middle schooler. "We have a race in two days and you come with this now?"

Lucas says something but Atle cannot discern whether it is to Sander or to Timon and Rasmus who are both babbling the same questions at once, or to Adrian who barked a simple "No!" and now glares at him far more menacing than Sander could ever manage, or to Aleks who stands before Lucas with raised palms and talks at him as if he just needs to calm down and think this over.

Whatever anyone says, Atle does not understand one word; the blood rushing in his ears, the pounding in his head drowns out everything. Sander storms off first, not after hurling another barrage of curses at Lucas that carry no edge because his eyes are just a tad too red. He is followed by Timon who tries to stop him, and Atle slinks out behind him, unseen by the rest of the people in the room. Aleks is still talking intently, urging Lucas to do the thing Atle knows would never happen. He ends up on the balcony of their room, in his sweatpants and his shirt, out in the cold night. Everything makes sense now, and when his eyes fall on the packed suitcase on Lucas’ untouched bed, the sadness rushes in. He is still crying when Lucas returns, and they both cry a little more, only an open door between them and yet so much more. There is only one thing Atle thinks about, something so unimportant it does not matter, but all the things that matter are unchangeable anyway.

“You told Charlie before me?”

Lucas shrugs. “I don’t love Charlie,” he rasps. “Made it easier.”

Atle laughs and sobs, pressing his palms into his eyes until red lightings are dancing in front of them. Of course this would be the moment one of them would say the big three words for the first time. If a bit in a roundabout way.

“Please,” Lucas begs.

Atle’s shoulders slump as he drops his arms. He only needs to take two steps to bridge the gap between Lucas and him. The tears still have not stopped but at least he has Lucas to cling to now, his head buried in his neck, and his arms wrapped so tightly around his body that he can barely breathe.

“We’ll always have us,” Lucas whispers.

Atle does not need to know more.

Nice changes for two Midtown blocks

The transformation of these blocks is great for pedestrians, pointing Midtown in a better direction in terms of street design.

1. Peachtree Place Parklet

The redesign of this block at Peachtree and Peachtree Place (which would be called 9th Street if we lived in a sane world) is complete. The extended sidewalk looks very nice, even though it's baking in the sun. I assume it'll be more comfortable in the evening.

Parking spaces on the street were removed (👍) to extend the sidewalk into a plaza that will eventually have more seating.

This was an initiative of Midtown Alliance.

2. Spring Street Parklet

Another Midtown Alliance project that's coming together nicely: a parklet on Spring Street (at 8th Street) that's replacing parking spaces with seating.

This is in addition to an ATL DOT project that removed a lane for cars and replaced it with a protected bike lane on this stretch.

The transformation is impressive. Look at the image below to see the "before" view of this street. It's a more inviting place now for people who aren't in cars.

[atlurbanist]

ATL Urbanist's highly-unscientific traffic study of Peachtree Street in Midtown...

DATA:

Today I observed a spot on Peachtree where travel lanes were closed on both sides. There were no lines of car congestion as a result.

RECOMMENDATION:

Close them permanently, add bike lanes instead.

This concludes my highly-unscientific traffic study.
