Province plans to cut Calgary's downtown outreach team as supervised consumption site closes
Operating in Calgary's Beltline neighbourhood, the Safeworks Connect team has been relied upon for years to respond to overdoses, distribute harm reduction supplies, educate, and connect people to health and housing programs. The province plans to shut it down at the end of June.

Since the winter storm came in later than expected, I took the chance to try the #EUC on the #Beltline. I thought it would be a short trip, but ended up going from Ansley to Piedmont Park and on to Ponce City Market.

Got to see a bunch of great murals and graffiti! I was surprised to see so many people out in the park and on the beltline for such a cool and damp day.

How to not make the #Atlanta #beltline successful.

A longer segment of this meeting will be broadcast on Atlanta News First later this fall.

The Future of Transit In Atlanta

This spot in Atlanta looks abandoned, industrial, and a bit of a wasteland but it is right at the intersection of MARTA and the Southside Beltline. Hopefully, over the next 20 years, it will become a hub of commercial activity and affordable housing.

What QueensLink says about Atl Beltline Transit:

> What happens when you build the trails before the rails? You get Atlanta’s Beltline, a project which after two decades has still not added the rail.

> QueensWay and the Trust for Public Land know this and are trying to prove to elected officials that their anti-transit scheme is what residents want...

> Atlanta Beltline CEO Clyde Higgs just threw Eastside rail under the bus in an interview at WABE. Searching for real leadership on transit in Atlanta is proving to be very difficult.
