Atlanta Narrows Monroe Drive for Safety | Atlanta News
About this episode
Atlanta is transforming Monroe Drive into a safer street with a significant investment aimed at reducing crashes.
Atlanta’s about to transform Monroe Drive into a safer street—narrowing it from four to three lanes, resurfacing, upgrading signals, and adding 29 new pedestrian crossings—with a $18.5M investment aimed at slashing crashes by 30%. Though Councilmember Alex Wan has championed this for over a decade, bike lanes are off the table due to design constraints and safety analysis. The project prioritizes walkers and drivers alike, while future development will shoulder its own traffic burden.
