What’s it like to walk Buford Highway? Last month, community members came together for a walk audit to answer that question. Together, we documented what’s working and what’s not in an effort to make this corridor safer for everyone. Stay tuned for more updates about the outcomes of this walk audit.

In Georgia, police pursuits continue to cost innocent lives. In the last few weeks alone, Terry Loman and Linda Davis were killed by people fleeing police in high-speed pursuits. These cases raise urgent questions about whether current policies are truly keeping our communities safe. 💔

Join us for a Buford Highway Community Walk Audit — a guided assessment of pedestrian infrastructure — to document real conditions and advance a safer, more people- and transit-oriented corridor. RSVP or register to volunteer here: www.letspropelatl.org/buhi-walk-au.... 🔗
Join us tomorrow at noon, near 225 Peachtree Street, for a press conference to demand the city fulfill its promise to build a raised crosswalk. In addition, please sign the petition calling for change.
RSVP and sign: www.letspropelatl.org/peachtreepre...
With approved designs and funding in place, yet no sign of action, we say: a safer Peachtree Street should not be this difficult — nor this delayed. With lives lost at this very spot, additional delay will put more people at risk for injury and death.
We'll be holding a press conference at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 11, near 225 Peachtree Street, to demand the City keep its promise to build a raised crosswalk on Peachtree.
Learn more and RSVP: www.letspropelatl.org/peachtreepre...
Peachtree Street is Atlanta’s most iconic corridor. It’s also one of the hardest – and deadliest – places to cross on foot.
Please join us via petition now, and — if possible — in person next week to hold the City accountable.
Most daily trips in Atlanta are 3–5 miles from home, a distance that’s doable on an e-bike.
We’re now working with ARC and the City on the details for this year’s program. Nothing is finalized yet, but we’ll share updates well before applications open.
Stay tuned!
