"...City officials did not formally study the impact that the new bike lanes would have on traffic in the downtown district, said Hugh Saxon, deputy city manager. But a 2016 report found that traffic volumes rose 23% along portions of Commerce Drive, and 20% on East Ponce de Leon Avenue, two major streets, between 2011 and 2015.

The city hopes the new lanes will eventually encourage more people to replace their car trips with bike rides, possibly alleviating traffic in the long run. Another primary goal is to make the streets safer for pedestrians...."


Nice article. Rare to find one these days that doesn't heavily promote one point of view.

It would be interesting to see the number of bikes per day vs cars per day
