A Saporta Report columnist takes umbrage this week with Atlanta's famously mangled sidewalks, drawing a correlation between impassable (or nonexistent) sidewalks and pedestrian fatalities.

For Atlanta, the infrastructure bond is one tool of many we must use to expand and improve our sidewalk network." [SR]
