It is surprising what I notice on these walks to work, when, out of my car, I am able to see the Clifton community in a very different light. Our community is fortunate to maintain a healthy, green “tree canopy,” an abundant stock of classic historic homes and mix of local businesses. Unfortunately, walking or bicycling within the Clifton community can be dangerous, with uneven or missing sidewalks and a lack of bike lanes. Over time, a clear pattern has emerged of traveling through our community primarily by car—often with only one occupant. These Urban Design Guidelines are meant to challenge each of us to see a new vision for our community. The Clifton Community Partnership (CCP) and Emory initiated this project to support the four CCP focus areas—transportation choices as alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles; housing that enables employees to live closer to their workplaces; vibrant activity centers with shops, restaurants and amenities; and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and outdoor spaces. The vision and ideals reflected in these Guidelines are energizing and provide a solid foundation for tackling long-term changes and opportunities in our community. But, I am equally pleased that this initiative provided many occasions for neighbors to assemble and begin discussions about how our community should evolve in the most beneficial way for the largest number of people in the face of inevitable change. From the start of our discussion at the end of 2006, hundreds of neighbors, civic leaders, business owners, and Emory stakeholders contributed to the final set of Guidelines. This document outlines what aspects of our community are “sacred” and should be preserved—and what aspects are dated, underutilized, and do not contribute sufficiently to the public good. Please take some time and review the Guidelines closely. The ideas envisioned in this document will evolve over the coming years and quite possibly decades. But the Guidelines provide a great planning tool that allow us to continue our ongoing conversation about what the Clifton community can look and feel like in the years ahead. I look forward to seeing the evolution firsthand on future walks and bike rides throughout the community. Best wishes, Michael J. Mandl Clifton Corridor Urban Design Guidelines ■ From the Clifton Community Partnership Advisory Group To the Clifton community: Fifteen months ago, the Clifton Community Partnership, Emory and members of our community met to initiate the development of Urban Design Guidelines for our community. As we started this extended dialogue – the first of a series of public meetings and charrettes - we met, appropriately in the auditorium of Druid Hills High School, a rich, historic educational fixture in the middle of our community. The setting was appropriate as we were about to embark on an experience that was educational as much as it was visionary. As we learned, our community, our county and our region are all changing. The projected demographic shifts and lifestyle changes will be profound. A primary goal of these guidelines is to ensure that we, as a community, have a broad yet nimble plan that will provide the framework for embracing change in a way that preserves our cherished quality of life. Ours is not a one-size-fits all community, and as one Advisory Group member aptly described, “We are not just a collection of cul-de-sacs.” Different corridors require different considerations and no two should look the same. The “gateways” to our community touch key thoroughfares – Briarcliff, Clifton, North Decatur and Clairmont roads – but also coexist with historic communities, pristine woodlands, creeks, schools, shops and jobs. The distinct corridors received individual attention to preserve their unique qualities. The education didn’t end with urban design concepts. These guidelines represent not just standards for a community in evolution, but an important process that brought divergent views together to find common interest. Hundreds of community members rolled up their sleeves, marked maps, ate pizza and listened – really listened to one another -- as we envisioned what our community “could” be. The discussion easily led from specifics on certain streets, to the larger needs of our community through a process that most of us had not participated in previously. v No education is cheap and ours was not either. We thank Emory for generously funding this process, and extend special thanks to David Dixon and Ben Carlson at Goody Clancy, without whom we would not have produced this exceptional work product. When people of divergent opinions sit down together, in the spirit of goodwill, there is no end to what we can accomplish. We hope you enjoy reading these guidelines and a perspective on shaping the future of our community.

First, I wish to thank my friend and predecessor Andy Coffman for the opportunity to retaliate for his portrait in the April issue of the Advocator, showing off all of his Georgia Half Marathon medals. I was in fact by his side every step of the way in all of those races! Second, and on a more serious note, I wish to thank him for believing me capable of following in his presidential footsteps. In fact, I will make every effort to keep him involved so that I and my Board colleagues can benefit from his wisdom and experience during our tenure. Given that this article was written in the aftermath of yet-another successful Inman Park Festival, with glorious and well-deserved sunny weather, I wish to thank the Festival Committee on which I remain, and the more than 900 volunteers who each year help us all pull off a very complicated and wondrous event. Thanks, too, to the vendors, artists, musicians, beer purveyors, and Home Tour families who make this an event that annually attracts people by the tens of thousands from miles around.

  • Decatur's Transportation Network, 2007
    3 • Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 CHAPTER • 3 Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 othing speaks louder of a city’s transportation system than how its residents use it. A public survey conducted as part of the CTP revealed that sixty-seven N percent of commuters drive alone to get to work or school. Over 20 percent of commuters in Decatur either walk, bike or take transit. Even more interesting, 79 percent of residents reported having walked or ridden a bike to downtown Decatur. Additionally, the majority of residents feel that it is easy to get around the City. These results indicate a system that already provides a lot of choice for travelers. The following sections detail the extent of these choices, i.e. the facilities that make up the existing Decatur transportation network. The CTP uses this snapshot of how Decatur gets around in 2007 to recommend how the City can build upon its existing strengths to realize its vision of a healthy and well-connected community. Existing Street Network Streets are where it all comes together for travel in and through Decatur. The streets and their edges provide places for people to walk, bicycle and travel in buses and other vehicles. Compared with the MARTA rail system and off-road paths and greenways, the street system in Decatur accommodates the majority of travel and is detailed below. Roadway Classification in Decatur In 1974, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the manual Highway Functional Classification - Concepts, Criteria and Procedures. The manual was revised in 1989 and forms the basis of this roadway classification inventory.

This includes provisions for both heavy rail and light rail service to meet the complex travel patterns and needs within the service corridor as identified within the Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative - Alternatives Analysis (AA). The project includes construction of 6, possibly 7, light rail stations and 4.24 miles of bi-directional trackage and auxiliary infrastructure, as well as the provision of feeder and circulator bus service. This provides high capacity transit mobility options for residents and commuters traveling between Lindbergh Center, the Emory University Main Campus and Clairmont Campus and the Centers for Disease Control Roybal Campus. Further, the project will provide long distance travelers approaching the Clifton Corridor from points along the Gold line or Red line with rail service into the Emory/CDC complex, which serves the travel demand patterns as
