    WSB said that Birmingham had a collapse in 2002. Took 36 days to replace.

    Given their similar food scene....maybe thats an optimistic timeline for us.

    My first thought on this development: the Braves deserve this. Congrats on even more traffic while your ballpark is empty you faggots

    In other news, I'll be returning to ATL for a long weekend in May for the first time since moving. Thankfully I don't plan on going north of Midtown

    MARTA is scrapping the Red Line turn back indefinitely.
    Adding multiple train sets systemwide - service as often as 7 minutes.
    Putting out back-up train packs to deal with spring breakers plus the huge volleyball tournament.
    Blue Breeze cards are still off this weekend, so expect a shitton of staff out to help new riders.
    All single tracking is cancelled (obviously).
    Despite some serious pressure, MARTA will not be free.

    All I caught.

    Fuck my tits, that reminds me that I need to change out my blue breeze card.

    What is the Redline turn back? Do you mean the change of how far the Redline goes after 9pm or whatever it is?

    Good on MARTA for helping out so quickly, this is going to affect so many things. Also, what was the reasoning behind the new breeze cards and forcing the change? Better tracking?

    Yeah I live real close to the Doraville one but the lot is a complete shitshow, so unless I walk to that station I'll drive to Chamblee and park. I'm hoping that lot will be adequate, it's usually fairly empty in the morning before 8.

    Build more conventional, non-affordable apartments with worthless shit on them to contribute to negative net ridership and push park and riders away.

    This was discussed extensively. North Springs and all other north Red line park and rides are already over capacity on a normal day. At a minimum they'll put out the solar signs to let people know when the lots are full. I'd say the north Red line is fucked for the forseeable future. The parking situation is not good even before yesterday. Also, on the Gold, Doraville will fill up. Thankfully, there is more than enough spare parking at Chamblee. MARTA actually has two lots that aren't utilized at all today.

    CBS news just reported GDOT already is saying the southbound section needs replacing as well, and there's a possibility adjacent sections are damaged too. Damn.
