Atlanta Voted for Safe Streets. Now We’re Organizing to Build Them.
In 2022, Atlanta voters approved hundreds of millions of dollars for safer streets, sidewalks, protected bike lanes, safer crossings, resurfacing, and street repairs.
Four years later, many projects remain stuck in planning and design. And, residents in high-need neighborhoods are still waiting for basic safety improvements.
We’re organizing corridor by corridor to make sure projects move from paper to pavement.
The Strategy
We’ve identified 19 delayed or high-impact safety projects across 7 cluster geographies.
These corridors represent:
- High Injury Network streets
- High-need neighborhoods
- Areas with persistent delivery delays
- Projects that would significantly improve safety and access
When residents organize around specific corridors, projects move.
WHAT THE AUDIT CONFIRMS
The latest Moving Atlanta Forward audit backs up what residents already feel:
- 168 of 202 projects have started, but one-third remain in planning or design.
- ATLDOT continues to lag on sidewalks and safe-street delivery.
- Progress varies significantly across districts.
- The dashboard is live, but data accuracy concerns remain.
