Those are for people to lean on since there are no benches

Call me crazy, but 17th street bridge is the last bridge I want to take a breather and appreciate the view. Such a hostile pedestrian experience regardless of the seating/leaning situation.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - An elderly man from Alabama was killed after he was hit by a car in Downtown Atlanta this past weekend, according to police.

This marks the second pedestrian death within a two-block radius in the last three months.

“This should not be happening on Peachtree Street. It’s the main street of Atlanta,” said John Fischer, president of Atlanta Downtown Neighborhood Association.

According to police, Crabtree was walking through the crosswalk at Peachtree Street NW and Baker Street NW when he was hit by an unidentified black sedan.

Both deaths occurred in an area previously a part of a project to improve pedestrian safety. In 2021, the city launched Shared Streets project along Peachtree Street. The report found that this stretch of Peachtree Street (from Baker Street to Ellis Street) saw between eight to 17 times more crashes than the statewide average for minor arterials. In 2022, Mayor Andre Dickens’ administration ended the pilot project.

[Note - while listed as "pilot project," there was funding from ARC to implement a more permanent pedestrian safety project, and Mayor Dickens let the funding go unused after being pressured by republican donor Richard Bowers.]

They started demoing Williams curb around the Cartoon Network building, and they have started to work on the north side of the 10th street bridge, so seems like the 10th street bridge project is in full swing now.

Not much yet but at least it looks like it is starting.

Does anyone have any news on this? Signs have been up for about a month.

Phase III of the Peachtree Creek Greenway is moving forward. Will extend the existing trail through Brookhaven, from the current terminus at Briarwood Road, following Peachtree Creek, ending at Clairmont Road and the Chamblee city limits. This will eventually create a connection all the way from the Beltline and PATH400 up past the perimeter in Doraville.

This project is moving forward with Kimley-Horn filing a building permit.

"...linear transportation improvement project entirely on public right-of-way with a disturbed area over 1 acre. The project consists of new concrete sidewalk and landscaping at the MARTA Garnett promenade and along Broad Street: sidewalk replacement/widening and general streetscape and placemaking improvements including landscaping and amenities."

Given the design of the new curbs, a tow truck should be kept handy to remove the cars that have ridden up over the curbs into the landscape area.

Thank you for the update re: 15th! The impression I am getting from the photos is that the section west to Williams is pretty much done, but the section east of there has a long way to go— was that your feeling also?

Yes, and the likely reason the W Peach to Spring is they have to keep to open for traffic to a parking garage. Always takes longer having to work around traffic.

That was fun to watch. At the beginning he says Atlanta is the country's 10th largest metro...it's actually 8th, 7th, or 6th largest. I'm not sure when he made that video, tho.
