Hall said changing a signal can cost $75,000 to $100,000 as well as an investment of time to research how the change would impact an area running from Piedmont Avenue at Monroe Drive to at least Ponce de Leon Avenue.
Hall, who said he rides his bike in the area, said it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure safe travel for bikers.
After a serious or fatal bicycle accident, take these steps to help the recovery process
When someone is seriously injured in a bicycle accident, the first days and weeks are spent getting medical treatment and dealing with the new reality of injuries, pain, lost work, and disruption to normal life. When someone dies in a crash, family members are forced to deal with grief, anger, and loss as they struggle to move forward.
After a serious or fatal bicycle collision, an injured person, or the family left behind, incur damages including the cost of current and future medical expenses, lost work and wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. When the crash is caused by a negligent driver, there may be financial recovery available for the victims.
