G-MAP is a new transit navigation app for folks with disabilities, featuring automatic transit signal priority, extended pedestrian phases, and more! I will be at the showcase tomorrow from 10am to 2pm at the Gwinnett Justice and Admin Center in Lawrenceville, GA.

The transit expansion sales tax failed in Cobb and Gwinnett County, GA. That's why the ATL needs to find other funding sources for the region.

I need for y’all to see exactly how diverse even the polling places are in my part of ATL, #gwinnettcounty. This is why we are a bellwether county— there’s no majority anything here; everybody is a minority! We all have to work together to make our community stronger, so who we all pick tonight will speak volumes.

Very good video by Nathan Davenport about transit referenda in Cobb and Gwinnett counties, on the ballot right now, and how to fix American suburbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLIFYnIYJKU

@iamhand @ShmosKnows The new RideGwinnett bus stop signs look like depicted.

Nice work session testing bus notifications in Norcross GA. Bus stop signs in Gwinnett County are faded. RideGwinnett will soon replace with their new design, which is different from the ARC regional design that #MARTA, Xpress, and CobbLinc are using.

I’m all for new tech but all that’s really needed are Dutch style separated bike lanes and protected signal crossings if they really have this kind of money to burn. The vast majority of both cars and cyclists aren’t going to download a “watch out for bikes” app, this is silly and a waste of time and money. But wait– this is not the end-all-be-all DOT approved solution getting shovels into dirt; it’s just a tech showcase:

The tech behind it is kind of neat; giving cyclists some kind of transponder that will work with the “smart roads” systems of intelligent streets conditions networks. These are the different components that measure and relay auto traffic and post congestion info to those big signs over the roadways, or into your favorite mapping apps. But why are all the news outlets covering this technology exhibition as if it’s the thing to solve the larger problem though?

We suburbanites really need to remain laser focused on real shovel-in-the-dirt ideas that can save lives and enable alternative transport modes like safe cycling and building better modal transitions and pathways for example. Prepping for a once-a-season bike race is one thing, but being able to use a combination of my bike and a bus to get across Gwinnett County without killing or injuring myself would be pretty cool…

Highlights of the ATL board meeting this morning:
- They will explore #ZeroEmission buses.
- ATL RIDES app gets positive reviews and board praise for multimodal trip planning and fare prediction w/ #OpenTripPlanner. 190 users planned 5k trips. Final marketing kit TBA after active Fall campaign.
- #Cumberland #AutonomousVehicles: The board was *very* hyped. Pilot continues until March.
- #GwinnettCounty TSPLOST and Douglas #transit plans seem ambitious (e.g. #atlanta Airport connections).

💀Help solve this mystery!

Twenty five years ago, a small cardboard box was found on the side of a road in Norcross, Georgia. It held the partial skeletal remains of two children.

A note on the box read, “attention police, my bones were legally exhumed from South Georgia, please return them to their proper repose.”

The Gwinnett County Medical Examiner analyzed the bones and determined them to belong to a baby around one year old and a teenager between 12-15 years old. Oddly, the two are not related to each other.

The box also contained fragments of casket hardware. They were dated to somewhere between the 1900s and 1940s, which is consistent with the age of the bones. The children were likely buried sometime within that period.

Unfortunately, they were unable to identify the children, so they’ve been kept at the ME’s office pending new information and technological advances.

That day may soon be here! Gwinnett County ME has partnered with Othman Labs to perform extensive genetic genealogy tests on the remains and establish family trees. Hopefully they’ll be able to identify relatives and discover someone who will name and claim these poor children.

Here’s where YOU come in.

There is little funding for pursuing cold cases like these. Gwinnett County ME has resorted to crowdfunding in order to pay the private lab for their supplies & research.

Are you able to contribute? Each child needs about $7500 raised to conduct the necessary investigations. Even a small amount donated gets them closer to being named & laid to rest.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, will you at least help spread the word? SHARE with folks in the funeral profession, true crime aficionados, supporters of children’s causes, or anyone else you think might be touched by this case.

Every body deserves a name.
Every body deserves to rest in peace.
