Atlanta Bike Grid

has proposed a park at 98 14th Street, which has been a big hole in the ground for about the last decade after several development plans fell through.

If there's going to be a park, there should really be a safe way to get there by bike. It doesn't make sense to leave this dense and active part of town disconnected.

When bikes and scooters don't have a safe place in the roadway, they often end up on the sidewalk. This has negative impacts for people on foot.

Pedestrians shouldn't have to compete with bikes and scooters for scraps of sidewalk space (and vice versa). We all deserve safe streets.

We need a connected network of protected lanes for bikes and scooters, a connected network of clear, well-maintained sidewalks and crossings for people on foot, and a connected network of reliable public transit. All of these things together will get us where we want to go.

GDOT has announced plans for a new two-way cycle track on 14th Street. The planned cycle track will run along the northern edge of the street, protected by concrete wheelstops and flex posts.

Implementation is planned for this year, with additional (much-needed) crossing improvements scheduled for 2028.

The project is open for comment here until Feb 14: https://sr-9-14th-st-safety-improvements-m006685-gdot.hub.arcgis.com

Come out and join us next Saturday for a little more cleaning over on United Ave! We heard that the was seeing more debris in the bike lane, so we're gonna go help make sure we keep everyone safe.

We'll meet just west of the Boulevard x United intersection next Saturday, August 31st at 10am. From there, we'll head down along United to clean it up - so make sure to bring your bike! As usual, we'll try to remove all trash at the end via bike; so, we welcome as many cargo bikes as we can get.

We also recommend wearing a hi-viz/bright color outfit and charging any bike lights that you have. Helpful tools to bring would be:
- Big, wide brooms
- Flat-bottom shovels
- Trashbags
- Gloves
- Water/snack
