Partnership
for sidewalks: The Buckhead Coalition has formed
a partnership with the PATH
Foundation under which the coalition will pay 50 percent of
the coast of building sidewalks in Buckhead. The goal is to develop miles
of new sidewalks to make the area more pedestrian friendly.
The
Atlanta Bicycle Campaign is working to establish a bike
lane network linking neighborhoods and major activity centers in
Buckhead. To get involved, join the Buckhead BUG (Bicycle User
Group). Contact Kevin McCauley kpmccauley@netscape.net
or phone 404-531-0006 or Mike McLeod mamcleod@us.ibm.com
or phone 404-842-1791 or check out the ABC Web site at www.AtlantaBike.org

BATMA
(Buckhead
Area Transportation Management Association) is developing a
Buckhead shuttle. It also offers other transportation
alternatives. Visit BATMA www.BATMA.org |

BATMA has
identified final routes for its Buckhead shuttle service and the
system plans to kick off in 2001. The service will be free and the
buses, designed to look like trolley cars, will be powered by
electricity. The service will focus on Buckhead's business
commuters during the week and on the entertainment district in the
evenings and on weekends. |
PEDS,
Pedestrians Educating Drivers on Safety, is a grass-roots
group dedicated to making Atlanta's streets and sidewalks safer
and more accessible. A recent Buckhead demonstration drew
attention to the new Galyan's store across from Phipps Plaza that
offered no entrances from the sidewalk, forcing walkers to go
though the parking garage to gain entry. To learn more about PEDS
and pedestrian issues, visit www.peds.org
