PROJECT SPOTLIGHT | PLEASANT HILL PATHWAY

With support from Macon's Reimagining the Civic Commons initiative, Pleasant Hill residents, artists, volunteers, and community partners, this project transformed Walnut St. by introducing Macon's inaugural protected bike lane, enhancing pedestrian walkways, updating neighborhood signage and crosswalks, and proudly showcasing an intersection mural by local artist, Kevin "Scene" Lewis.

Generously funded by a Knight Foundation grant, Bike Walk Macon took the lead, working closely with Macon's RCC committee, the Pleasant Hill neighborhood, and NewTown Macon. Beyond the practical advantages of enhanced safety and accessibility, this initiative fostered stronger community bonds by creating safer routes for pedestrians and bicyclists between Pleasant Hill and surrounding neighborhoods. The invaluable input from Pleasant Hill residents ensured that this project authentically represented the community's values.

The Pleasant Hill Pathway, a segment of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail, is just the beginning of an exciting journey, laying the foundation for a trail project extending all the way to MLK Jr. Blvd.
