Atlanta Streets Alive Returns to GSU June 11

Did you know that the Atlanta Streets Alive event returns to GSU and downtown Atlanta on June 11 and on June 25? Atlanta Streets Alive had two events last year that brought thousands out into the streets of Atlanta to walk, run, bike, or do whatever activities moved them. Edgewood, Auburn and other streets will be closed during the event for activity. Woodruff and Hurt Parks will be filled with activity.

GSU Bikes, in conjunction with Touch the Earth from the Rec Center, will be providing bikes to loan during the event. Anyone with a Panther Card or other University System of Georgia ID can borrow a bike for a short spin around the ASA route. We will also be sharing information about bicycling at Georgia State, our plans, and how to get involved.

See the Atlanta Streets Alive! web page for a map of the route and for more information.

Event: Atlanta Streets Alive!
Dates/times: June 11, 10 am- 2 pm
June 25, 4 pm- 8 pm
Where: Downtown Atlanta, near Woodruff and Hurt Parks and eastward along Auburn and Edgewood Avenues
