IN The Neighborhood FEATURES, NEWS & EVENTS NORTH UP NEXT FOR STREETS ALIVE By Collin Kelley INtown Editor Thousands of cyclists, walkers, joggers and skaters are expected to turn out Sunday, Sept. 28, for the next Atlanta Streets Alive (ASA) event in Virginia- Highland, Inman Park and the Old Fourth Ward. According to Keisa Bruce, events manager for ASA organizer Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, the popular “Highland Plus” route will close down parts of Highland Avenue, Boulevard and, for the first time, North Avenue to motorized vehicles from 2 to 6 p.m. “We wanted to include North Avenue so people could see everything that’s going on along there, especially Ponce City Market,” Bruce said. And while the route creates a five mile loop, the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail will act as another part of the route, or maybe a shortcut. The new Gateway connecting the Eastside Trail to Historic Fourth Ward Park will also be open allowing for more exploration. “We’re working with Ponce City Market and The Masquerade [night club and concert venue] to make sure there are fun and engaging events happening along North Avenue and that part of the BeltLine,” Bruce commented. As in years past, there will be all sorts of activities along the route, including games, exercise stations, performances, information booths and more. The annual Bike Parade will roll out at 2 p.m. from Virginia Avenue at North Highland and encompass the whole route, Bruce said. Last year’s ASA on the Highland map drew 82,000 people.
