Thanks to the successful advocacy of residents that formed A Safer Boulevard, this segment has been added to the broader discussion on what will happen to Monroe Drive/Boulevard Complete Street Project. As a member of A Safer Boulevard pointed out, "Boulevard was recommended for a road diet in Connect Atlanta 2008 and was #12 on a priority list of more than 200 . . . PS-RD-002 Boulevard Three-Lane Conversion Road Diet Lane Reduction to On-Street Parking Bulbouts and Left Turn Lanes."

From A Safer Boulevard, "any successful redesign will have the following components:

• Lane reduction for the entire length of the redesign
• Excellent safety to support any current or future bus routes along Boulevard
• Protected pedestrian crossings with highly visible signals that support resident safety and the use of community assets including parks and businesses
• Protected connectivity between the Beltline and Memorial corridor for cyclists and pedestrians
• Integrated traffic flow management solutions which take into account
• The future Gateway parking deck entrance to prevent the build up and spillover of traffic onto Boulevard during peak hours
• Pedestrian and cyclist safety over the Glenwood intersection and the I-20 bridge and entrance and exit points between I-20 and Boulevard"
