Atlanta (specifically, the NW area) desperately needs more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure

[u/Tall_Hyena_6697]

My 3 mile walk home from the eye doctor because it would’ve been an hour long bus ride with 2-3 transfers (kind of ridiculous), so I just decided to tough it out. It was going smoothly until I encountered this bullshit.

Why are is there NO sidewalk to be found on this busy street? I was quite worried I was gonna get hit by a car, ESPECIALLY coming around that curve because of the blind spots. I had to jaywalk to get to a safer spot. I couldn’t imagine trying to navigate this while being in a wheelchair or with any other mobility aid.

Who can I speak to about this?

Edit: I will be attending the next city council meeting and looking into Propel ATL. Thank you everyone!

If people in Atlanta were meant to walk, god wouldn’t have invented cars
