Doraville is building segregated bicycle tracks along Peachtree Road using grant money from the Atlanta Regional Commission.

The $2.3 million project calls for narrowing the road from five to three lanes and adding a bike path, separated from the road with a curb and landscaping.

Doraville is among 13 communities to receive funding for cyclist and pedestrian projects.

In Dekalb, the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts will use $3.1 million for sidewalks, larger medians and more crosswalks on Lake Hearn Drive, Perimeter Summit Parkway and Parkside Place. Decatur also received $2.1 million for bike paths on Commerce Drive and Tucker received $960,000 for sidewalks and landscaping on its Main Street streetscape project.
