Reducing Speed Limits

City of Atlanta will roll-out their Vision Zero plans and review the speed limit study with council members in February.

We are working with a coalition to support lowering speed limits because it will help improve safety for all modes of transportation- pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers too.

Let your Councilmember know that you support lowering speed limits in the City of Atlanta!

Sidewalks Maintenance & Repair

Councilmember Amir Farokhi re-introduced legislation to mak e the City responsible for repairing & maintaining sidewalks.

Determining a funding source for sidewalk maintenance and repair will be the key to moving this legislation forward. We are working with Councilmember Farokhi to support this important ordinance!

 

We will keep you posted on our progress with our advocacy work.
