In 2020, city planning and transportation officials in Atlanta launched a tactical urbanism program to enable neighborhood groups to lead and fund alternative street design and safety changes through low-cost, temporary interventions.

“These projects are often used to advance longer-term goals related to street safety and the design of public spaces,” the city explains in its tactical urbanism guide. “Tactical urbanism is temporary in nature, using tactical materials while demonstrating the potential of long-term change.”

The 20th project under this initiative was just completed: turning street parking on one side of Virgina Avenue NE into a pop-up, protected, two-way bike lane, connecting a local high school and elementary school.
