Atlanta

A lot of cities assume that all parents who can move to the suburbs will do so. But it doesn't have to be that way.

The city seems to have learned from mistakes like its mixed-traffic streetcar and is looking to give future transit lines dedicated rights of way. Still, there are many more decisions ahead that will determine whether the city spends $2.5 billion in new transit revenue well or not.

Atlanta is a poster child for sprawl, and its transportation system certainly isn't what you would call resilient.

Street redesigns from Oakland, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, San Francisco, Rochester and Chicago are competing for the title.

When mobility-related social justice issues, such as gentrification and police abuse, come up, it often makes relatively privileged people uncomfortable.

Last night had the makings of a historic election for transit. Voters in cities as varied as Raleigh, Indianapolis, and Los Angeles turned out to support ballot measures to dramatically expand bus and rail service.

Laying track isn't enough to build a successful transit system -- as some cities are learning the hard way.
