| Collapse all
- The greatest challenge in District 30318 is instability, with displacement following closely behind. North and South District 9 face vastly different realities: many residents in the south live in food deserts, attend underperforming schools, and rely on aging infrastructure, all while facing the looming threat of gentrification. A shallow tax base in South D9 makes it difficult to sustain city services, driving up costs for residents in the north. Portions of North D9 residents now face the possibility of redistricting of public schools, while property values rise and legacy residents are priced out.
- Repairing our infrastructure is huge priority. Roadwork and street maintenance must address potholes, repaving our roads, and traffic safety, with complete streets that include protected bike lanes, pedestrian improvements, and accessible sidewalks for all residents. Modernizing our water systems is critical: replacing aging pipes, implementing smart leak detection, and integrating green infrastructure such as bioswales, permeable streets, and rain gardens to reduce flooding and protect our watersheds.
- We must deliver on the promise of rail transit along our corridors by investing in infrastructure like Beltline Rail and committing to a groundbreaking date. By providing a fast, reliable, and safe transit rail option, we can ease the surplus of cars on our roads, reduce congestion, and create a more sustainable city. The ultimate goal is to connect our neighborhoods while ensuring working families have access to dependable and affordable transportation.
