Advocates and friends, Join us downtown for tonight's Mayor and Commission Regular session. The Barber Street concept is back up again for a vote this month, and we need to show our support for the concept to move this forward. We will be reminding everyone along with the Mayor and Commission that Athens In Motion supports this, alongside BikeAthens and the Boulevard Neighborhood Association. This is a tier one project that needs these safety improvements and will connect to the larger bike/ped network that will extend to Chase St. and beyond all the way to Holland Park. Come down tonight to city hall and show your support for this project. https://www.accgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/92604/June-6-2023-agenda The regular session takes place directly after the special session on the budget. It's going to be another long night at city hall, so make sure you get some food before coming down.
