Atlanta Streets Alive: Southwest is Done, the Advocacy Continues

Atlanta Streets Alive: Southwest provided participants an opportunity to experience the rich history and culture along Cascade Avenue, Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Georgia Avenue, as well as support businesses along the route. The program also drew attention to the existing safety hazards on Cascade Avenue due to its proximity to two of the most dangerous streets in Atlanta’s High-Injury Network—Cascade Road and Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. Nearly 300 of you signed the petition, joining community members along Cascade Avenue in calling on the City of Atlanta to create a safer Cascade through the funded resurfacing project. Now, take the next step by downloading and sharing the Cascade Ralph David Abernathy Corridor Profile with your networks and contacting City Council in support of a safer Cascade Avenue.

Pop-up LIT Lane Install Volunteers Needed

On Saturday, October 19th, we're helping the City of Atlanta and Midtown Alliance install the City’s first pop-up light individual transportation (LIT) lane on 10th Street. Volunteers are needed to help move barricades into place, apply spray chalk for markings, and hang signs. This demonstration project is a first step in addressing safety as part of the Bottoms Administration’s Action Plan for Safer Streets across Atlanta. Starting Saturday, October 19, the City will install a one-way, westbound LIT lane from Myrtle Street to Juniper Street in Midtown, connecting the ends of two existing LIT facilities.
