I agree, bike lanes, light synchronization, side walks repairs in the CBD's, fixing streets and making them walkable. (Spring, West Peachtree, Juniper/Courtland).

The city should turn those four "avenues" back into two-way streets.

Yes, please. Repave DeKalb and replace the crazy-ass middle lane with two lanes for cars and two for bikes.

For the love of god, please pave Sylvan Rd. It's the worst street I've ever driven on. Three sets of railroad tracks with rotting wood and rusted metal, and that's all before you get to the first stop light. You may as well be off-roading on safari.

Certainly agree, although I think spring st should still operate as avenue from Buckhead to Downtown. Spring st should connect to the access road, instead of west peachtree. creating a bypass from Buckhead to Downtown without getting on 85. Essentially turning Buford HWY and Spring St into a real road, with 2 way traffic. I haven't spent a lot of time thinking out the drawbacks, so let me hear it.

A lot of the money is going to have to go to replacing the city's motor vehicle fleet and numerous obsolete city buildings.
