Building Better Connections in the new Bowen Neighborhood.

One of the biggest changes coming to the Bowen neighborhood is improved mobility—making it easier, safer, and more convenient for residents to move around their community and access the places they need every day.

As part of the Bowen Choice Neighborhood plan, Atlanta Housing and the City of Atlanta are investing in new streets, sidewalks, trails, and infrastructure that reconnect Bowen to nearby neighborhoods like Carey Park and A.D. Williams. These upgrades replace old barriers with real pathways, giving families more options to walk, bike, take transit, or drive safely.

New investments include:

• Safer sidewalks and crosswalks along key routes

• Street extensions like St. Peters Avenue to improve access

• A new roundabout to help traffic flow smoothly

• Trail connections that link Bowen to parks and green spaces

• Road improvements and infrastructure upgrades across the area

These changes are designed to make Bowen feel connected—not cut off—so residents can reach schools, parks, transit, jobs, and local businesses with ease. Better mobility means stronger communities, and Bowen’s new street network is being built to support families for generations to come.
