Descripción
The excellent Emory-Starvine Way path sends cyclists (and pedestrians) into the sink-or-swim racetrack that is Clairmont Rd. with little direction for motor vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists.
A relatively simple cross-walk re-design and road re-painting to and from Desmond would alleviate some of it. Un-cocooned human beings actually use this intersection quite a lot.

"The principal trend that emerges from the papers reviewed here is that clearly-marked, bike-specific facilities (i.e. cycle tracks at roundabouts, bike routes, bike lanes, and bike paths) were consistently shown to provide improved safety for cyclists compared to on-road cycling with traffic or off-road with pedestrians and other users. Marked bike lanes and bike routes were found to reduce injury or crash rates by about half compared to unmodified roadways."

Hoping for money and conversations between Emory and Dekalb County.
