New Bike Lanes Headed to Atlanta

The Atlanta City Council has approved the construction of more than 30 miles of bike lanes to several areas, including Midtown and downtown.

According to WABE, Connect Atlanta is designed to attract interest and investment in those areas.

City Councilman Kwanza Hall, who represents some of those Midtown areas, says they’ll help attract people to the center of town.

Another part of the program would increase the population living near some MARTA stations and Atlanta Streetcar stops.
