N.A.H.S. / US 41 Northside Pkwy SIDEWALK Project

Summary: North Atlanta High School and the Mt. Paran Community NEEDs SIDEWALKS!
Northside Parkway is extremely dangerous for students and pedestrians. There is NO walking access to or from North Atlanta High School (NAHS 1,960 students + ~650 Trinity School Students). There is STRONG COMMUNITY support to build a sidewalk along Northside/41 from Mt. Paran Rd to the Cobb County border/trail system from NAHS, Trinity School, MPNA, PATH, GDOT, West Buckhead residents. Plus this connects Buckhead to Cobb County's extensive trail networks including the Chattahoochee River parks, Silver Comet Trails and even Suntrust Park.  

Your signing/support will help get this project approved and built. Please sign up.  Project ID: 0013056

Notes: Supporters of this effort include Councilmember J.P. Matzigkeit District 8, Atlanta City Council, and Principal Douglass NAHS. Project is a PATH sidewalk (bigger than normal sidewalks) and on the school side of N'side Pkwy.

Sad to report but NO PROGRESS in 3 years, NO SIDEWALK. We need sidewalks and walking access for North Atlanta HS (no walking access currently / 2000+ students). HUGE safety issue and a constant neglect by ATL. Reach out to your government leaders and insist they do something.

Sep 28, 2022 “Sidewalks around Buckhead’s public school not on anyone’s agenda”
A GREAT article from Northside Neighbor’s Thornton Kennedy about how WE NEED SIDEWALKS and NOBODY in our government is doing anything about it. Reach out to our Leaders* and tell them to LEAD this sidewalk effort!

SIDWALK UPDATE = BOTH District 4 candidates now understand & support sidewalks for NAHS/Hwy 41.

I met Mikayla & then Jen (per their invites) and discussed NAHS sidewalk issues with each of them for about ~1hr following the Sept. 28 Forum. Jen went as far as coordinating a Sidewalk meeting & site visit for APS Superintendent Dr. Lisa Herring & her COO after fall break. See latest post on NEXTDOOR

Both good candidates.
