The city of Atlanta spent more than $8 million dollars last year on bike-related infrastructure like resurfacing roads. The city’s first bicycle report touts there are now close to 116 miles of bike lanes.

Ten miles were added last year and residents can expect another 10 to be added this year. But city officials now want the lanes to connect better.

Becky Katz, Atlanta’s chief bicycle officer, said the city needs to pay more attention to where bike lanes actually go.
