Metro city approves expansion of bike lanes, safety improvements

DECATUR, Ga. — More room for bicycles will mean less room for cars along a busy road.

The city of Decatur is installing new cycle lanes along Church Street.

The bike lanes will run about one mile along the road, beginning near the Decatur Cemetery.
