1. Good news in street design: Progress for Forsyth & Edgewood projects

2. Atlanta Safe Streets & Transit Coalition combine to form single group

3. Get involved: Volunteer at the Blinkie Awards May 1 or take a bike class

Forsyth Street: construction is underway on the complete street project Downtown!

See photos of resurfacing, bike lane improvements, and future plans. We’re thrilled to see this street finally getting some attention. It’s an essential last-mile connection to transit and the recently installed, award-winning, protected M.L.K. Drive bike lane. 

However! Plans show the Forsyth Street bike/LIT lane will stop at Alabama Street in front of the Five Points MARTA station. Improving this connection will be part of our bike/LIT lane network advocacy efforts this year.

Edgewood Avenue: The Atlanta Downtown Improvement District and Atlanta Department of Transportation recently added flexposts to the bike lane between Fort Street and Park Place. While not a cure-all, the posts delineate the bike lane and will hopefully reduce drivers parking there. And there’s more to come!
