Want to solve Boulevard SE's safety and traffic problems? Tired of the speeding commercial trucks, the cars flipped on their roofs, the drivers who break state law and refuse to stop at crosswalks for pedestrians?
Neighbors, are you tired of your house shaking, your windows rattling, and the clanging vibrations of trucks going 45 mph and up?
Slow Down Boulevard, Inc.'s official position is that the lack of traffic calming solutions by the City presents a horrendous and life threatening safety issue to everyone who traverses or lives on Boulevard SE.
The City of Atlanta cannot put people's lives at risk any longer!!!
We will not be silent.

Don't live on Boulevard? No problem! We'd love for you to put a sign in your yard anyway. Odds are, if people are driving anywhere in the Grant Park, Cabagetown, Reynoldstown, Chosewood Park, Ormewood Park, Benteen Park, Old Fourth Ward, or Peoplestown neighborhoods, they are likely to drive down Boulevard SE too. All awareness helps!
The mission of Slow Down Boulevard is to increase awareness of Boulevard SE's 25 mph speed limit in order to stop the endless speeding of cars and trucks on Boulevard in Grant Park that repeatedly threatens the lives of pedestrians, cyclists, pets, and other drivers and to make our neighborhood safe for all who live here or pass through.
Our initial aim is to raise funds to purchase multiple flashing "Your Speed Is" signs along Boulevard SE between the CVS and the Beltline. By purchasing one of our "Slow Down" signs you are helping to calm traffic while raising the necessary funds to purchase the permanent flashing signs.
There are also plans in the works for Slow Down Boulevard t-shirts, bumper stickers, and more. If you are interested in these other items, please check back!
Our intention is to work independently but in cooperation with the Grant Park Neighborhood Association, A Safer Boulevard, and the City of Atlanta to make our street safe. As we achieve success, we are open to expanding our efforts in future to our Grant Park neighbors between I-20 and Memorial Dr and then on to our fellow Boulevard friends all the way to Ponce de Leon.
