There is no pedestrian access to this grocery store for nearly all of the surrounding community. What does City of Decatur plan to do to make access to this Publix equitable for those using MARTA or walking? It's absurd that a grocery store less than a quarter of a mile from a heavy rail station has ZERO consideration for pedestrians, even during construction of surrounding apartments. Why are there FIVE (5) car lanes on Ponce, and SIX scary car lanes on Arcadia/Dekalb Industrial, when there is NOWHERE for people to walk to and from the MARTA station or even the surrounding neighborhoods and apartment complexes?? How did City of Decatur annex this property and then allow this to happen?

This grocery store needs to be pedestrian accessible to Marta, the path, and the Sam’s crossing bridge. Right now, you can walk and bike across the street from this grocery store, but there is no safe access to actually reach the store. This is a massive failing of planning, and antithetical to what seem to be the values of CoD.

Providing safe pedestrian access to this grocery story should be an urgent priority if we care about equitable outcomes for our citizens.

Any progress on this?

Still no progress on this? Could the City at least provide a response or an update?

Any updates, CoD? It’s been months.

Any updates???

Any updates???? Still nothing? What does the public works program even do?

“Urban core, urban, and suburban street typologies are excluded from the traffic calming program.”
^That seems backwards. Cities should be for people not cars

I looks like the sidewalk on the north side of Ponce is now open. Yea! What's the status of the intersection improvements?

Still waiting on intersection improvements! This issue has been resolved.
