Our city councilwoman destroyed a bike lane paid for by REI in exchange for votes from a church. Not only did it take away a healthy and safe option for kids to get to elementary school and Morehouse College, REI has never received the courtesy of a response and the taxpayers had to pay $130,000 to have it destroyed, all of which is a disincentive for future investment in health in our community. The pastor of that church lives in Mableton yet they accused "outsiders" of trying to gentrify our neighborhood through bike lanes, as if poor people and black people don't ride bikes. As long as introducing healthy options into poor neighborhoods is call "gentrification" and used as a racial and political tool, we will not see improvement.
