“Setting Atlanta in Motion”: the Making and Unmaking Of “SETTING ATLANTA IN MOTION”: THE MAKING AND UNMAKING OF ATLANTA’S “PUBLIC” TRANSIT, 1952-1981 By ICHIRO MIYATA (Under the Direction of Bryant Simon) ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ways in which the making of a public transit system in Atlanta ended up not resolving, but instead perpetuating, and even accelerating, the city’s uneven development among the suburbs, center city, and affluent intown neighborhoods. It examines how the different actors, commercial civic elites, suburban county residents, and intown neighborhood residents produced and deployed their own configurations of the concept of “public,” and how these varied and frequently incompatible ideas conceived of, and affected, the public transportation system. Early planning demonstrated that the major beneficiaries of the transit plan would be the white middle class and downtown businesses. Advocates argued that public transit would perform its role as a “public” service by easing or eliminating the traffic congestion which threatened to deteriorate economic growth, while at the same time it would contribute to the convenience of suburban commuters. This concept of “public,” however, was fundamentally at odds with the notion held by African-Americans and suburban county residents. Each of these groups held a substantial stake in public transit and its impact on their neighborhoods. Failure to reconcile the conflicting understandings of “public” resulted in Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) losing in 1968 two county referendums to begin construction. Conversely, the victory of the public transit referendum in 1971 was a direct result of MARTA’s new plan, which included a 15-cent flat rate fare, a rail route to the poor African American neighborhoods in Northwestern Atlanta, and incorporation of the existing Atlanta Transit System’s bus network. An even more important factor in the victory was the efforts of intown neighborhood residents. These residents had engaged in campaigning against expressway or toll-way proposals, and strongly supported the idea of public transit. They stressed the important role that public transit would play in protecting the environment, private property, historic buildings, and public institutions. The potential that these conceptions of “public” held, however, was undone in the actual implementation of the plans. The making of public transit as a result of the victory led only to the unmaking of public space, and ultimately of the transit itself. The construction of downtown stations terminated the contingent rise of a diverse, multiracial downtown enclave, which had previously shown signs of emerging as a public sphere in which the underprivileged could raise their voices. The death of this incipient public space foreshadowed the eventual abandonment of poor African-Americans’ demands for a flat fare and a route to poor communities. Despite its popular image as African-American transit, MARTA succeeded only in preserving the affluent white intown neighborhoods. More importantly, however, it also failed to meet its original goals of eliminating the auto-dominated urban infrastructure and uneven development among the suburbs, city centers and existing old affluent communities.

Sutter Shane Hamilton Michael Kwass Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Let me begin by acknowledging the many people who have built their lives around the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority railway and bus system. The last thing this dissertation tries to contend is that Atlanta's public transit system is bad. Every morning MARTA stations welcome many commuters heading to downtown or suburban work places and every evening these same stations see people rushing to their homes. It is the bustle and liveliness made possible by this safe, convenient and reliable transit system that turns concrete building and steel railcars into urban spaces that help comprise the community of Atlanta. For a student from Japan, pursuing a Ph.D. in America is not an easy thing. Professors and friends at University of Georgia’s Department of History, however, taught me that this was no excuse not to read and write. Special thanks go to my primary advisor Bryant Simon. Not only did I learn from Bryant's lectures, books, and articles, but numerous conversations with him over many cups of coffee truly laid the foundations for my career as a scholar of US History and American Studies. Bryant has always been an ardent supporter of my ideas and I often kept on writing simply because I wanted him to read what I wrote and to hear what he thought about it. I am so blessed to have such a great mentor. I also wish to express my appreciation to my other dissertation committee members, Paul S. Sutter, Shane Hamilton, and Michael Kwass, who patiently read the long, flawed document I submitted to them and responded by giving generous comments and insightful advice. History Department secretary Laurie Kane provided vital assistance that helped me to meet the administrative requirements of the Graduate School. Many thanks also go to my friends at UGA’s Department of History, with whom I shared lots of PBR, many softball practices, and countless paper plates of barbecue. The days I iv spent in Athens went by lightening fast, and now I know why. When I first passed through the UGA Arch, I had no idea that leaving the town would be so emotionally hard. I extend my thanks to John Hayes, Ivy & Bert Way, Chris Mango, Bruce Stewart, Yi Boram, Robby Luckett, Judkin Browning, Steve Nash, Barton Myers, Min Song, Keira Williams, Jason Manthorne, Reannon Eves, Dancan Maysilles, Justin Nystrom, Ed Hatsfield, Jim Giesen, Ann Marshall, Eric Powell, Solomon Smith, Will Holmes, Darren Grem and Chris Lawton (and others whose names I may fail to mention here). I would also like to express my gratitude to the impressive archivists and librarians at the University of Georgia’s Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies, Emory University's Manuscript, Archives, & Rare Book Library, Kennan Research Center of Atlanta History Center, Georgia State University’s Southern Labor Archives, and the Georgia Archives. Special thanks go to the Russell Library’s Jill Severn, whose assistance was vital in locating the materials I needed for my project. I thank UGA Library’s Georgia News Paper Project staffs for microfilming newspapers and sending them to Tokyo whenever I made requests. I would not have finished this dissertation without generous financial support in the form of the Rotary Foundation’s International Ambassadorial Scholarship (2001- 2002) and a Fulbright Grant (partial, 2001-2005), grants that enabled me to study in Athens, Georgia. The Downtown Athens Rotary Club’s John Whitehead deserves special mention. Dr. Whitehead and his family helped me set up a new life in Athens and always made sure I was doing alright while enrolled in the graduate school. Saitama University’s Project Grant for Young Scholars (2007, 2008, and 2010), and Japan’s Ministry of Education’s Grant in Aid for Young Scholars (B) (2009-2010) made it possible for me to undertake research trips and to purchase materials necessary to finalize this dissertation in Tokyo. Finally, I am grateful to the Faculty of Liberal v Arts of Saitama University for allowing me to spend half a year on leave completing this dissertation. I should thank for my mentors, colleagues, and friends in Japan. Special thanks go to Natsuki Aruga, Professor Emerita of Saitama University. I would not be writing this if I had not taken her Introduction to American Studies lecture during my sophomore year. Since then, she has been my mentor and role model. I also wish to thank Mineaki Kanno, who is also Professor Emeritus of Saitama University and an UGA Ph.D. Dr. Kanno pushed me to write about Atlanta’s suburbanization in my undergraduate thesis, insistence that constitutes the origin of this dissertation. Hitotsubashi University’s Makoto Tsujiuchi, who passed away in 2000, has always been present in my heart, giving me power and courage whenever I encountered hardships. Yujin Yaguchi of the University of Tokyo deserves special mention for pushing me-yet always with a gentle smile-to do better, and for his warm, timely, encouragements to finish this dissertation. I am also grateful to my friends and colleagues in Tokyo, who share the difficulties and joys of being a scholar of American Studies in Japan. Thanks to Fuminori Minamikawa, Toru Umezaki, Kazuyo Tsuchiya, Satoshi Nakano, Yoshiyuki Kido, Takashi Machimura, Naoko Sugiyama, Erika Sunada, Taro Futamura, Toshihiko Aono, Jo Nakajima, and Tomoko Yagyu. Roger Brown and Andrew Kamei-Dyche, Japanese History experts from America and Great Britain, both took the time to proofread my English writing and provided insightful comments and suggestions as to the content. I am also very grateful for their ability to understand both the joys and difficulties of being a scholar who studies the history and culture of a foreign country. Lastly, I wish to express my gratitude to my family. My parents, Toshichika and Kazuko Miyata, always supported me in my pursuit of a Ph.D. in Japan and Georgia.

A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. Secret tunnels are built for military purposes, or by civilians for smuggling of weapons, contraband, or people.

First, I wish to thank my friend and predecessor Andy Coffman for the opportunity to retaliate for his portrait in the April issue of the Advocator, showing off all of his Georgia Half Marathon medals. I was in fact by his side every step of the way in all of those races! Second, and on a more serious note, I wish to thank him for believing me capable of following in his presidential footsteps. In fact, I will make every effort to keep him involved so that I and my Board colleagues can benefit from his wisdom and experience during our tenure. Given that this article was written in the aftermath of yet-another successful Inman Park Festival, with glorious and well-deserved sunny weather, I wish to thank the Festival Committee on which I remain, and the more than 900 volunteers who each year help us all pull off a very complicated and wondrous event. Thanks, too, to the vendors, artists, musicians, beer purveyors, and Home Tour families who make this an event that annually attracts people by the tens of thousands from miles around.

  • The New York City Subway
    John Stern, a consultant on the faculty of the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation in New York City, and a graduate of Columbia University, has had a lifelong interest in architecture, history, geology, cities, and transportation. He was a senior planner for the Tri-State Regional Planning Commission in New York, and is an Honorary Director of the Shore Line Trolley Museum in Connecticut. His extensive photographs of streetcar systems in dozens of American and Canadian cities during the late 1940s, '50s, and '60s comprise a major portion of the Sprague Library's collection. Mr. Stern resides in New York City with his wife, Faith, who is also a consultant of Aesthetic Realism, the education founded by the American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978). His public talks include seminars on Fiorello LaGuardia and Robert Moses, and "The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness," written with consultant and art historian Carrie Wilson, which was presented at the bridge's 120th anniversary celebration in 2003, and the 125th anniversary in 2008. The paper printed here was given at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street in NYC on October 23rd and at the Queens Public Library in Flushing in 2006. The New York Subway: A Century By John Stern THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904 was a gala day in the City of New York. Six hundred guests assembled inside flag-bedecked City Hall listened to speeches extolling the brand-new subway, New York's first. After the last speech, Mayor George B. McClellan spoke, saying, "Now I, as Mayor, in the name of the people, declare the subway open."1 He and other dignitaries proceeded down into City Hall station for the inau- gural ride up the East Side to Grand Central Terminal, then across 42nd Street to Times Square, and up Broadway to West 145th Street: 9 miles in all (shown by the red lines on the map).

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
