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.
