Theres been a lot of talk in this group lately about Krog Tunnel - how it backs up with car traffic during rush hour (Wylie too) and whether or not to filter to the front of the line, how terrible the pavement is and how it will swallow up your favorite bike light etc. Just wanted to make sure everyone had seen this Creative Mornings Atlanta piece last month about whats in store for Krog as the BeltLine Eastside trail gets extended, potentially as soon as July: To continue along the trail to Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown, however, bicyclists and pedestrians will need to first cross Krog Street, then cross DeKalb Avenue before entering the Krog Street tunnel. Several options are under consideration for how men, women, and children can safely cross the thoroughfare. Those include HAWK signals and even a pedestrian scramble. Pedestrians and bicyclists would be directed to the east side of the Krog Street tunnel, which ABI would upgrade with new lighting and handrails. The trail will continue along the north side of Wylie Street, coming close to CSXs property. The decision to place the trail there will preserve homeowners on-street parking and narrow the street slightly but still allow room for future transit, Burke says.
