Neighbors march to demand officials make busy road safer for pedestrians | WSB

Quote:


DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - People took to the streets Saturday to push for changes to a busy street they say is too dangerous to walk or bike on.

Channel 2's Rikki Klaus was on DeKalb Avenue, where neighbors walked more than a mile toward Decatur during the "Walk the Walk" march. They wanted to show the city they're serious about an overhaul of the street in the name of safety.
Awesome. We need more of this.

Sounds like they already are, though this particular street isn't in the current lineup: https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/dek...oads/935471273

Not a successful way to improve safety. Memorial Drive inside the city limits is a better example.

If it doesn't include DeKalb Ave then the article and measures being reported on are irrelevant. The march was for DeKalb Ave specifically.
