Midtown ATL

Midtown's streets are called upon to do a lot of things, from safely moving people -- on bikes, on foot, in wheelchairs, in buses, and in cars -- to hosting authentic artistic expressions of community identity. For decades, this Midtown intersection at Piedmont and 10th Streets has been regarded as the geographic center of Atlanta's counterculture movement. And earlier this week, crews working on the Piedmont Ave. Complete Street project were on site to put a fresh coat of paint on the beloved "Rainbow Crosswalks" ahead of the 2026 Atlanta Pride parade.

Work continues on the Piedmont Ave corridor from Ponce de Leon Ave to 15th St to build wider sidewalks, shore up curbing, add ADA ramps at intersections, install a barrier-separated bike lane, and more. The project is on pace to be substantially complete in the first half of 2027.

🎉 The annual Atlanta Pride Festival is the largest LGBTQ+ event in the South (and the largest FREE Pride Festival in the nation), hosting over 350K people throughout the weekend, with concerts, dance parties, Atlanta’s largest parade on Peachtree Street, and more.
