Work Near MARTA? LiveNearMARTA.com
People are starting to realize that the old complaint that MARTA doesn't "go anywhere" isn't true anymore as places like Decatur, Lindbergh, and Perimeter Center continue to evolve into vibrant transit villages with homes, businesses, shopping, and entertainment within easy walking distance of their respective MARTA stations.
It's logical that people are moving back into Atlanta. People are seeking alternative transportation solutions as gas prices, commute times, carbon dioxide levels, and global temperatures continue to rise.
Location-efficient living near a MARTA station makes more sense than ever, especially if you work near one.
New Urban Realty has a new portal at www.livenearmarta.com that features listings of "Rail Estate" or homes within 1/2 mile of a MARTA station.
You can also use the Station Search: Tell them which Station you would like to live near and they will customize a search for homes in the vicinity of the station.

Transit Oriented Development for Tomorow's Child
There's lots of fronts to fight on in the war against global warming. Transit-Oriented Development is a significant one that can do serious damage to our oil dependency. It's easy to get battle-weary, though, in the daily struggle against status quo, inertia, apathy, greed and deception.
One thought that keeps me in the battle is the legacy we leave our children. The following video and poem are powerful motivators for me.
Tomorrow's Child
Without a name; an unseen face
and knowing not your time nor place
Tomorrow's Child, though yet unborn,
I met you first last Tuesday morn.
A wise friend introduced us two,
and through his shining point of view
I saw a day which you would see;
A day for you, and not for me.
Knowing you has changed my thinking
for I never had an inkling
That perhaps the things I do
might someday, somehow, threaten you.
Tomorrow's Child, my daughter-son
I'm afraid I've just begun
To think of you and of your good,
Though always having known I should.
Begin I will to weigh the cost
of what I squander; what is lost
If ever I forget that you
will someday come to live here too.

Chairman Mike Evans Cycles Across Iowa
ATLANTA -- State Transportation Board Chairman Mike Evans participated in the longest, largest and oldest touring bicycle ride in the world. The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) is an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the state. The ride started July 23rd in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa's western border and ended July 29th in Muscatine, along the eastern border at the Mississippi River.
“The first thing I want people to know and understand is that they have a State Transportation Board that is open minded and interested in transportation alternatives,” said Evans. As an avid cyclist, Chairman Evans took a break from discussing highways, bridges and transportation funding issues to participate in the ride 472-mile, seven day trip with a group of 8,500 cyclists including Lance Armstrong.
The group trekked a daily mileage average of 68 miles with an optional one day 17 mile loop called the century loop for cyclists wanting the extra challenge.
Profits from the RAGBRAI ride are given to non-profit Iowa programs and organizations through the Des Moines Register newspaper’s community investment program. The program addresses priority issues in regards to families and children, literacy and community enrichment.
“Cycling is not only an excellent way to stay in shape, but also provides transportation alternatives besides cars, trains and buses,” Evans said. “I have been participating in bicycle rides for years and I intend to bring more awareness to cycling as a sport and a transportation alternative during my tenure as Board Chairman.”
