going to 4 lanes and having substantial turn lanes, which Monroe does NOT have would clearly make it operate far better than Monroe, not to mention Monroe as some odd intersections.

And I was looking at Buford Highway the other day in light of this project. If its going to take 2 years to build these sidewalks when do the sidewalks from the northern edge of this Project, just north of NE Plaza, to Clairmont and then Dresden get built?

What is being done won't cut down on injuries or deaths, especially between Corporate and Clairmont.

Which can be caused by a lack of sidewalks.

In our Safe Routes to Transit Initiative, PEDS has emphasized that pedestrians need to cross the street in order to get to or from the bus.

You're right. Sloppy error and an unfinished thought on my part.

As TW noted, there's probably not enough money in the fund to purchase the right of way from the various property owners for building sidewalks outside existing lanes. I think he's right that they're probably going to be taking away a lane to build sidewalks inside the current roadway by financial necessity.

i'd say this is true 9 times out of 10 in atlanta.

This area absolutely needs sidewalks. This is probably the most heavily trafficked area of metro Atlanta with regards to pedestrians.
