corridors that runs exclusively from west to east. It also connects two Cycle options. The Westside Trail will provide users with a protected bike facility the short multi-use path segment from the Georgia State Capitol to the

Corridor D Design Schematics

The cross sections, plan concepts, and accompanying notes provide a description for the design of the proposed facilities along
the corridor. A typical cross section has been developed for every segment of the corridor where a facility is proposed as part of
the Cycle Atlanta: Phase 1.0 Study and where projects have been programmed but the facility design has not been finalized. Cross
sections were not developed for corridor segments that already have a facility, where the facility has already been programmed
for construction, or where the facility has already been designed through another project or planning effort.
The typical cross sections and plan concepts form the basis for the cost estimates presented on the previous page. Each project
consists of one or more cross section or plan concept segments. The design schematics were used to provide details about
facility design for projects, particularly where cross sections change along the corridor or intersection design is more complex.
The legend below provides a summary of the different symbols and line types used to describe existing conditions or proposed
features along the corridor.

Woodward Ave and Hill St Intersection Concept

Overview

Concept Summary

The intent with this intersection design is to help bicyclists using the Woodward Avenue bicycle
boulevard cross Hill Street more easily. Hill Street is a major street crossing along this route with
higher traffic volumes and a dedicated traffic signal. Signal improvements and pavement markings
will help cyclists continue safely across this intersection.

Bike box allows bicyclists to

queue ahead of stopped traffic
and continue straight.
WOODWARD AVE

Signs and pavement markings

prohibit through vehicle traffic.

The signals should be upgraded so that bicyclists can

actuate the signal and wait times are reduced. Currently,
wait times are long and bicyclists cannot actuate the
signal. These improvements will decrease wait time
at the intersection for bicyclists and improve the
convenience of using the route for bicyclists.

Woodward Ave and Boulevard Intersection Concept

Overview

Concept Summary

The goal with this concept is to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians crossing Boulevard.
The intersection is currently unsignalized, traffic volumes are high, and vehicular speeds are high
along Boulevard, making it difficult for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross safely. To upgrade the
intersection with safety measures, several design features are proposed including a new signal, a
protected through bicycle lane, and pavement markings and signage that limit through vehicular
traffic.

On-street parking should be shifted

away from the intersection to allow New traffic signal or hybrid
vehicles to safely turn onto Woodward beacon to be installed to facilitate
Avenue. bicyclist and pedestrian crossings. Protected through bicycle lane
provides a comfortable waiting
area for through bicyclists.
Maximum width for facility should
be 10’.

and 11’ travel lane. Total width
of Woodward Avenue at the
intersection is 32‘.
BOULEVARD

A protected through bicycle lane provides a waiting space for bicyclists

at this intersection while also managing through vehicular traffic
volumes along this route by forcing vehicles to make a right turn only.

of the Atlanta BeltLine Redevelopment Plan and the Atlanta BeltLine Subarea 4 Master Plan. If the industrial properties redevelop, the bike
boulevard should be extended along the new streets to Bill Kennedy Way and the Atlanta BeltLine. See Atlanta BeltLine Subarea 4 Master Plan
