Since Moreland Avenue is a state road, the opportunities to make changes to its design go through the Georgia Department of Transportation. Thanks to an update to the Moreland Avenue LCI Study that the Little 5 Points CID managed in 2017, Moreland Avenue was slated for multiple improvements to make the area more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. These include:
Completely new sidewalks from Mansfield to Dekalb Ave
Mid-block crossing with HAWK signal between the Post Office and Junkman’s Daughter
Wider sidewalks near the tight turn at Corner Tavern
Protected bike lane from McLendon to Dekalb Ave that will eventually connect to bicycle infrastructure on Dekalb Ave
Narrow vehicle lanes to slow down speeding cars
New tree plantings thanks to Trees Atlanta
