Bike Lane just ends abruptly, putting the cyclist right into narrow lane of fast moving traffic!

This is a systemic problem in Atlanta. The reason is that when the Georgia DOT widens or rebuilds a road, they are required to strongly consider installing a bike lane, IF one is in the local bike plan. So if they are widening 1/2 mile of road, that's how long the resulting bike lane will be.
Our approach to this problem is to work with local government to take advantage of these existing spurts of bike lanes to create real connections.
Briarcliff is quite narrow, which makes it hard to fit in bike lanes. I recommend you contact your county commissioner to tell them you want bike lanes on Briarcliff. http://www.co.dekalb.ga.us/commission.htm
and stay in touch with us.

Separate bicycle and pedestrian paths would be ideal. Safer and faster. Accomplish this by reducing road widening and multiple turn lane intersections. Make genuine changes to DeKalb and Fulton road strategies. What we have now is tragic.
