Tuesday Conversation: Transportation

A pedestrian advocate today says the city is shortchanging residents when it comes to sidewalks and sidewalk repairs. She writes that Atlanta needs to replace its dysfunctional sidewalk policy, which unfairly makes property owners responsible for paying for repairs to sidewalks adjacent to their property. In our second column, a subcommittee member and neighborhood activist outlines some of the benefits of the newly adopted guidelines. And, finally, a sight-impaired Atlantan discusses the importance of a good sidewalks program for disabled citizens in our city.
