Atlanta Bike Grid

ADID and CAP are hosting a virtual public info meeting about upcoming changes to Ted Turner Drive in South Downtown tomorrow. The plan is for a two-way conversion to better enable cars to get in/out of the area.

We obviously want as many streets in downtown to serve as streets for everyone, but a master plan drafted last year has Ted Turner solidly planned for cars cars cars.
That said, we know that it's important to make it known that we Atlantans need safe, convenient, and efficient bike lanes connected across the city so that everyone can exercise their right to transit.

If you can make it out to the meeting tomorrow, please join us in voicing support for this two-way conversion (for overall potentially lowered speeds) and consideration for how this will impact cyclists using and crossing Ted Turner.

Come on out tomorrow Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 99 Broad St SW, Atlanta, GA, 30303, for an ADID public open house about redesigning Peachtree Street! The purpose of this is to provide the public with an opportunity to view the project, ask questions, and comment on the project. Open House will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Project extent is between Alabama and Trinity.

A reportedly drunk state rep hitting and injuring a cyclist? In a still unfinished GDOT bike lane on Memorial Drive? This is precisely why we need stronger commitments from our Mayor for Vision Zero today, not tomorrow.

This cycletrack obviously needs better protection against drivers. In fact, one of the key principles of is building around people making mistakes and dangerous decisions. Another is that saving lives is not expensive.

While it's good that the cyclist was not seriously injured, car violence is both mental and physical. Paint and low concrete wheel stops are obviously insufficient to protect our right to transit.
