The 2022 Blinkie Awards will celebrate some of Atlanta’s most dedicated sustainable transportation advocates – and will see the release of the organization’s new name and brand. Heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served. Get tickets and find out more at atlantabike.org.

The PATH Foundation, a local non-profit that plans and builds multi-use trails across Georgia, has opened the West Wieuca PATH. The .6-mile-long trail segment marks the completion of the final trail segment in the 5-mile-long Chastain Park trail network that connects residents with PATH’s 300+ miles of trails in the surrounding communities. PATH collaborated with the City of Atlanta and partnered with the Chastain Park Conservancy to actualize the ambitious trail network. For more info, visit pathfoundation.org.
