Team Project: Aishwarya Lande & Cindy Jiang
Project Introduction
In response to the current and increasing Atlanta traffic problems, we would like to Increase the bikability in Atlanta by proposing E-bike city and activating a bike culture around beltline.
We are proposing an E-Bike City which will have a coherent cycle network consisting of safe, direct, comfortable and attractive routes and zones as a promising solution for hilly terrain, safety, last mile connectivity, affordability and potential bike parking problems.
The proposal ended up as a bike-in market combining local fresh food market and bike center including e-bike charging, bike parking, bike sales, cafe and entertainment.
