The feeling of walking in the street…with no cars! It was so cool being able to walk on Edgewood Avenue under the underpass! And it was super neat seeing the streets full of families and people walking, playing, cycling and doing all these other activities. It was just an awesome experience all around.- Crys Clark
I got there a couple of minutes early. As I ran along Edgewood Avenue in my barefoot-like Vibram FiveFinger “foot gloves,” it felt so odd, yet free, having the road mostly to myself in the first few minutes of Streets Alive. The only other times runners have the whole road to themselves is during a road race like the Peachtree Road Race or the Georgia Marathon. But you’re usually surrounded by thousands of other runners! However, I did enjoy seeing the crowds of people filling up Edgewood Avenue as the afternoon progressed.- Jeffrey Lam
Lots of vendors, community orgs, and participating businesses along the route.- Paul Black

Diversity! So much of everything… I have a streets alive hangover.- Mike Gerke

Feeling at home, happy and relaxed in the downtown area on a Sunday afternoon, whereas normally it might feel strange and empty. Everybody seemed so open and happy!- Lyuba Zuyeva
In terms of a single moment, I’d have to say it was when a group of us were doing the participant counts. The event had just started and a couple were walking up the street alongside their 4 year old daughter (age is estimated). She very slowly tricycled up Edgewood with streamers on her handlebars and she had curly pigtails. The street hadn’t gotten crowded yet, most people were at Woodruff Park. There were no cars in view and this family just walked up Edgewood so slowly. They kept getting a little closer to us and I think were the first people we counted. It was a really beautiful moment to see the event start to happen and for the first people to be this family. For me, that’s exactly what I had hoped for and worked for… to create a safe place for people, adults, children, and families to exist in and to play.- Katie Sobush
I liked how a group of people decided this would be really good for Atlanta, and then worked together to make it real. I didn’t know if I was going to get to see a ciclovia without going someplace else, but it happened here.- Rebecca Serna or Ali Garren Mangkang?
Hearing how many people are anxiously waiting for another Atlanta Streets Alive event.- Leslie Caceda
