Placing the signs, which are normally used to stop jaywalking, at a crosswalk makes no sense. It also fails to work. Despite the signs, pedestrians continue to walk into the street and get stuck in the middle. PEDS has contacted Councilmembers Lee Morris and Mary Davis about the hazard. The City of Atlanta and its citizens have invested a lot in Piedmont Park.
People can reach it only by foot.
To provide safe pedestrian access, Atlanta needs to do more than tell pedestrians to stay out of the way. The site contains a PEDS brochure, newsletters, membership forms, and an interactive forum where you can make comments or ask questions about pedestrian issues and look for others commenting on matters you care about. If you want safer walking conditions, please pull out a pen and paper and let Senators Paul Coverdell and Max Cleland and Speaker Newt Gingrich know it. The fine details are being considered in committee now. Your representatives are unlikely to receive many letters about this issue, so your letter counts a lot.
