Response Count
While the BeltLine inclusionary zoning requirements are a good first step to increasing workforce housing 1 along the BeltLine, there is a pressing need for deeper affordability for those affected by drastic price incre ases on the south and west sides.
Where is Historic Preservation? Why is this NOT an option? 1
We need to focus less on creating price ceilings and focus more on creating higher density and increase t 1
he supply of housing to keep up with the demands of Atlanta’s high population growth. All new mixed use developments need to be 8+ stories!!
We must provide opportunities not only to retain, but increase our housing available for low income familie 1 s and working class individuals to live closer in town. Murphy Crossing's proximity to transit is one of the b
est areas to do so within Atlanta.
We already have too much affordable housing along the SW corridor. Many residents are frustrated that all 1 the affordable housing is concentrated along the SW connector.
Units need to range from studio to 3 bedrooms at 60% AMI. 1
TOD needs density and transit to work 1
To avoid concentrating poverty, the housing should be suitable for a range of incomes. Mixed-income hous 1 ing should be available for both rental and home ownership. The city does need more housing targeting h ouseholds at or below 50% AMI.
These values should be based on the actual neighborhoods impacted, not Atlanta as a whole. 1
There should be options for all. 1
https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/932059384acc41e6aacb34f1e905e709/analyze?position=0.meeting_source&navigation=open:true&hideFields… 9/55 12/21/2020 Murphy Crossing Exit Questionnaire
There should all kinds of housing for people with different incomes. In addition, there should be rules on h 1 ow to take care of the neighborhood.
The selected developer should be required to work/consult a housing nonprofit organization on the best in 1 come mix for their rents in the case of residential units.
The neighborhood has many families living at 20%, 30%, 50% of AMI, so if all new 'affordable' housing tar 1 gets 60% or 80%, then we are still displacing our most vulnerable families. It should be a mix of low, middl e, higher income, not 2 extremes.
The Beltline has failed to provide affordable housing along the Eastside trail, & has directly contributed to t 1 he irresponsible gentrification of Reynoldstown. Affordable housing must be a priority at Murphys Crossing & the rest of the developing beltline
The American Dream, should be a reality. Most Americans have lived in apartments. With affordably shoul 1 d come - lessons (classes), on how to be a GOOD NEIGHBOR, how to maintain property, budgets etc.
The affordability of the units should match the income levels of the current residents in the area. Building a 1
partments that current residents can't afford is just rude and blatant gentrification.
The 80% AMI standard or higher is not applicable for areas like Murphy Crossing, where the cost of houis 1 ng is lower relative to other neighborhoods.
Set aside a section for 55+ unassiated living housing 1
Regardless of the changes made, and efforts to maintain a community centered space, these developmen 1 ts will inevitably push out lower income citizens. Would low income residents even want to live above a sp
ace like this filled with shoppers and tourists?
Proposals that include a significant portion of units affordable at the 100-120% AMI level (even if only 10-1 1 5% are at the 80% AMI level) should be deemed to have met the RFP affordability requirements.
Prefer density—taller buildings vs. more buildings and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. Strongly opposed 1 to the amount of parking in previous RFP; this should be a transit nexus, so build for the future: less parkin g means more people must use transit.
Please seriously consider eliminating parking, and increasing density overall to help meet affordability goal 1 s, rather than brute-forcing it all through subsidy (whether public or development through inclusionary zoni ng).
No housing!!!!! 1
No 1
Need a nice mix of affordable and market rate 1

N/A 1
My neighbors are a mix of young families, those in their homes for 20-30 years, and section 8 who take ca 1 re of the neighborhood. Housing that would displace them and change the life of the neighborhood is imm oral and is what the BL is known for.
Make it a permanent requirement. 1
Low Income Housing Tax Credits should be considered to reach this affordability due to significant increas 1 e in costs
keep as low and fair as possible for low income neighbors 1
Its prime real estate on the beltline. I don't think it has to be "affordable". 1
it's not affordable if it's over this. 1
It’s important to retain a diverse and welcoming community for all. We don’t want to become an O4W or D 1
ecatur.
It should be a small portion of the property, utilizing existing buildings, if feasible. 1
It is very important that affordable housing be affordable to those who do not have a car and that the resid 1
ents in affordable and other units have direct access to mass transit (i.e. MARTA, BeltLine rail, etc.
Include senior unassisted living housing area 1
If we demand 30% we might get 60% 1
I would prefer to see more 40-60% units available subsidized by market rate than fewer 80% workforce uni 1 ts. Retail and light industrial workers should be able to afford to live here.
I would like to see lots and lots of density on this site. 1
I think the focus should be to maintain a healthy level of housing for working class families making $40K & 1
above. Targeting income below that number opens us up to poverty-related issues & targeting income far higher opens us up to rampant gentrification
I think the affordable housing target is achievable in this market. 1
I think Affordable housing should be available for everyone in all of the above brackets. 1
I think a certain percentage should be affordable, but definitely not the majority. More than 10%, but less th 1 an 30% would be ideal I think.
https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/932059384acc41e6aacb34f1e905e709/analyze?position=0.meeting_source&navigation=open:true&hideFields… 11/55 12/21/2020 Murphy Crossing Exit Questionnaire
I feel that that range of affordability would make the homeowner more responsible and take pride in owner 1 ship. I do not want to see section 8 or any other programs such as that. I want homeownership to take prid e in owning a home in this community.
I do not want any housing in the development. If I don't have a choice then working class 120% AMI bc of t 1 raffic concerns. The site is not conducive to a boat load of traffic. It will take away from the quaintness of it
all If there is retail and housing.
Housing affordability should be aligned with the jobs created. That is, people working in the created jobs s 1 hould be able to afford an opportunity to live nearby. Possibly, those working on site could even have a hig
her priority for placement initially.
Historic Preservation 1
Families whose incomes are under 30% AMI are the most cost burdened in the city. We need to focus on 1 making sure those families have affordable housing.
Developments should focus on permanent housing (condos). Housing insecurity relates to not owning the 1 apartment you live in. There's apathy to the community either since you may move within a year. You may also not have the resources to maintain a house.
Density is important, however apartments are everywhere in Atlanta. Affordable housing is a big deal but i 1 nclusiveness is important as well. You want everyone to feel like there is a place for them around Murphy Crossing including people who earn more.
Consideration for housing for older people who want to live in the community and single parent with multipl 1 e children should have first choices on housing. I want retired professionals former teachers and governm ent worker.
Community should have as much diversity as possible. The west side/west end has been gentrified enoug 1 h.
An integrated community would be much better than separate luxury and affordable buildings. 1
Affordable should be no more than 35% of units. The rest should be market rate. Also affordable should b 1
e spread over 50-80% AMI. If Affordable is 25% or more it should be tied to job creation /training with livin g wages
Affordable housing rates should reflect the current income of the area. As renters are displaced from hous 1
es they should have options locally that minimize the impact on their lives - where they work, where kids g o to school, the community they are a part
Affordable housing isn’t affordable without mass transit connections so the BeltLine rail and MARTA statio 1 ns need to be build as soon as possible.

Affordable housing is also important for workforce persons as well. The units that are considered market v 1 alue are most times out of the affordability range for this group of residents.
A variety of income levels should be targeted. This approach is one of the main tenets of smart growth and 1 helps raise quality of life for the maximum number of residents.
80% AMI is NOT affordable fir working families that will be pushed out of our neighborhoods as the beltline 1 develops. It’s simply not affordable in context. To build 80% AMI in this area and say you built affordability i s disingenuous.

Similar to above, there are multiple local families that produce, bake, and sell from their homes (i.e. Everyt 1 hing Empanadas and Osono Bread in Sylvan Hills). It would be great if there was a space for them to oper ate out of.
Publix, Whole Foods, Trader Joes 1
Please, do not tarnish and waste this space with a supermarket. What a shame it would be to use this spa 1 ce as a billboard for America’s giants. Only local, and only small. If you throw up a Publix it’s because you got paid off, and that much will be clear

Only way I would support a major supermarket is if it was not a big box store, perhaps included as the bas 1 e of a mixed use residential building, interactive with the BeltLine.

NO Whole Foods, TJ, or other expensive grocers. Aldi, Lidl, Piggly Wiggly would serve community best 1
Major supermarket ok IF small footprint and low parking. No giant parking lots. 1
Lidl 1
Kroger/Publix tend to take up too much space, the Kroger at Glenwood is a disaster of mismanagement. O 1 rganic food stores that feature ethnic foods and seasonal foods such as Sprouts or Earthfare would be bet ter if you go that route.
Independent local restuarants 1
I would love to see a Lidl. They are like Aldi but have a stellar bakery. They also offer more big name bran 1 ds than Aldi. I would also love to see a food Oasis.
I think the farmer's market is important as a nod to history, but please prioritize our many local Black farme 1 rs like Patchwork City, Gilliams, etc.

Your survey questions are too limited/restrictive. Additionally, ABI didn't bother to have a transit expert part 1 icipate in today's discussion. That sends a clear message. Transit isn't even mentioned on this survey. M. C. should have a major transit component that any developer will need to accommodate. *** ABI is failing t o adequately answer questions being asked on a variety of topics. ABI is not making community engagem ent easy or transparent. A lot of folks are feeling even more frustrated now.
Where is HISTORIC PRESERVATION? 1

Utilize existing structures to the extent feasible. 1
Transportation infrastructure is paramount: integration with The Beltline, integration with MARTA bus servi 1 ce, proper pickup/dropoff locations.
top things I would like to see: - local , black-owned businesses and businesses that give back to the neigh 1 borhood (such as portrait coffee) - grocery store such as aldi (this area is a good desert with Kroger as the only option- which is frequently understocked) - businesses that support a healthy community - medical cli nic, physical therapy, gym, etc
This is common in Europe for mixed use developments - 1-2 floors of commercial, second 1-2 floors office 1 s, next 6-10 floors residential. Live, work, eat, play
This area is a food desert in terms of fresh foods and groceries. I think promoting a farmers market or havi 1 ng a neighborhood Wholefoods supported by the local farmers market would be an amazing use of space. Balancing this with a place where people can hangout, coffee shops and places where local chefs can buil d their dream restaurants with the local produce would be ideal. You want to bring business into the area. I think Triton yards has proven that if you build around food money will flow into the local micro-economy. T here is an opportunity to build around the entire food ecosystem and create something unique that will brin g together all of Atlanta, both it's historically black residents and newcomers from other states.
Things to do! You are focusing on things to buy, ways to spend.. this should not be another expression of c 1 apitalism, but should instead be focused on a safe place to spend time and do things. Things to do? Skate park, sports fields / courts, dog park, classes and shared workspace, outdoor amphitheater for music and performance. This city, and especially Oakland City, does not need another strip mall. We don’t need anot her publix and chicken spot. We don’t need another strip of breweries and crafty burger joints. Keep the pe ople active, healthy, engaged.
There should be a good mix of all retail, food & green space. We need a big box like a target, but we also 1 need mom & pops & boutiques. The same goes for the supermarket options.
The Westside needs more grocery stores and places to purchase everyday supplies. 1
The Train sitting on the tracks impeding travel and creating traffic must be addressed 1
The historic buildings need to be preserved and reused. Some do have damage, but several are in very go 1 od condition and the neighbors know this. Trying to tell us that the all the buildings are beyond repair will n ot fly. Keep Fuqua far far away, as well as the car centric suburban style designs. This is right on the Beltli ne, it should be a pedestrian, bike, and public transportation centric project. It also needs to weave back in to the surrounding neighborhoods. Restore street grids, connect the area much like Pittsburgh Yards is doi ng. Don't let this be a suburban retail island that's disconnected from the neighborhoods.
The developer should be required to engage in a binding participatory process with the community 1
https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/932059384acc41e6aacb34f1e905e709/analyze?position=0.meeting_source&navigation=open:true&hideField… 39/55 12/21/2020 Murphy Crossing Exit Questionnaire
The BeltLine Subarea 2 Plan identifies historic preservation as a guiding principle, including a stated goal t 1 o “identify and preserve historic resources and the local sense of place. These goals also track the larger Atlanta City Design efforts to meaningfully preserve the City of Atlanta’s historic resources. The BeltLine S ubarea 2 Plan recommends reuse of the existing historic structures in the Murphy Triangle node for "incub ator artist studios, live/work units, and affordable housing." The BeltLine Subarea 2 Plan states that “histori c relics could anchor public spaces and preserve neighborhood character along the BeltLine" and that "his toric buildings have become critical to preserving local identity and sense-of-place.” Please consider the p
reservation and reuse of these spaces in the RFP process.
Thanks for what seems to be an honest re-approach on this development. I know there are a lot of differin 1 g opinions, but I think you're re-building trust with the neighborhoods. As you move forward, please do not tell people you "can't do things" legally if really you could but are choosing not to or have been directed not to. It's not transparent, and when people learn otherwise, they start to doubt everything you're doing. It's ju st better to act with candor. If you really can't do something legally, be prepared to explain why with citatio ns to legal documents, laws, etc. That will make people feel like you respect them.
Speed it up, it's taking far too long. 1
Small chain markets such as Publix has created at North and Piedmont, Aldi, Lidl, Sprouts, etc., could cert 1 ainly be fitted in if the chains can accommodate the historical facilities. Otherwise, stick with marketers that can accommodate the area.
SKATE PARK, playgrounds! 1
Remove all fencing. Lots of access points. Minimize auto-oriented development. Maximize walkability. 1
really appreciate how much you are considering opinions of the neighbors 1
Prioritize living wage jobs, hiring/training in the neighborhood 1
practical uses are best- but with local unique or small businesses. A fitness studio, a small grocery, perhap 1 s some boutique restaurants. Maybe a bakery/coffee place. a Co-working space would be nice too.
Pleeeeeaaasse do more than low-density, low rise. Seriously. The city as a whole needs more density. Per 1 iod. There's too much pent up demand for housing and development, particularly adjacent to transit. Also, pleeeeeaaaasssee work out a plan to provide a proper transit transfer hub between heavy rail, light rail / st
reetcar, local buses, and commuter rail. Nearly every place where the BeltLine crosses heavy rail and / or commuter rail, potential or existant, needs to have a solid plan for creating transfer stations for local distrib ution and access.
Please, please include the local artists in the immediate neighborhoods. Some top talent are residents of t 1 he immediate area: Zipporah Joe'l, FRKO, and many others. Have them involved in the content curation fo r art in the space.

Please, make it as affordable as possible!!! 1
Please think of the existing community and the culture you would destroy with more crap that only serves 1 people coming to the area as tourists. The BL has ruined every community it has touched so far. You have the opportunity to do right and help us grow in an organic way. This is a food desert. Give us jobs that fit th e community - NO TECH!! We need green manufacturing jobs. Help us be part of the solution and better o
ur community - not create a bigger divide and displace us. Cultivate relationships and industry with Trees Atlanta and Aluma Farm - we need Black farmers, food forests, a homeless shelter and resources for the under-served that live here.
Please put in outdoor exercise stations and bike repair stations. 1
Please prioritize higher density 1
Please no ponce/krog street/etc. They are overpriced, uninteresting, and don't facilitate community. Smalle 1 r places with outdoor space. Lee and White are good models of this but a greater diversity of businesses would be ideal (i.e. we're good on breweries :))
Please make the buildings beautiful... seems like a lot of the building along this corridor is not as well built 1 comparing to east side belt line
Please limit parking as much as possible. Keep it to under 100 parking spaces. Incentivize NOT having pa 1 rking. Make sure housing is affordable (30-60% AMI affordable). Make sure the street grid features bike an d pedestrian facilities that are safe enough that a 5-year old could use them (ex. raised protected bike lane s and sidewalks, traffic calming with elements such as raised crosswalks and chicanes).
Please keep the vendors LOCAL! That's all I'm really here to say. That is SO important!! 1
Please keep the number of parking spaces lower than usual and minimize green space if needed, to allow 1 for cheaper rents for both residents and commercial spaces. This will help prevent displacement and also make the commercial spaces more accessible to local businesses.
Please keep it in an urban format ie pedestrian friendly, not car centric. Show that the west side of atlanta 1 can be unlike any other part of atlanta with it's urban fabric
Please keep in mind the impact that the increase traffic would have in such a small area and parking conc 1
erns.
Please include a large grocery store in the development. There aren’t good grocery options nearby for suc 1 h a large community.
please give the neighborhoods a fair chance to be a part of this development 1

please don't let a developer like fuqua come in and build a massive parking disaster! this is an opportunity 1 to transform this community for the better, and in a way to welcomes a diverse range of incomes and other demographics. if a developer can't work to realize the big dreams of this community, then that developer is n't a good fit.
Please don't bring just low wage jobs (aka retail workers). It would be great to see like corporate / small off 1 ice jobs. I think job training for entry level jobs into IT would be great also.
PLEASE consider the effects development of the property will have on the Murphy/Sylvan intersection. It's 1 already a congested, sometimes dangerous intersection, and increasing car traffic on Murphy and Sylvan will have negative effects for the pedestrians and cyclists who already have to deal with speeding cars, un maintained or no sidewalks, and debris that renders the bike lanes unusable at times.
Please build it so that the community can reap the benefits and not just get pushed out when it drives up p 1 roperty values. Create a space that is accessible, welcoming, that drives profits for local businesses etc.

Murphy Crossing needs to be a transit oriented development. We need to prioritize pedestrian activity incl 1 uding providing thousands of new residences at Murphy Crossing, particularly due to the connectivity with MARTA heavy rail stations north and south, as well as the new light rail coming to the BeltLine, both along the westide and southside trails, as well as light rail or bus rapid transit coming to Campbellton Road. We need smart land use with prioritization on walkability and access to transit. Each edge of the site needs to engage well the streets, trails, and future transit corridors. We need wide sidewalks, pedestrian plazas for
areas to congregate, including for local artists such as musicians to perform. We also need vast amounts of bike racks and bike parking. We do not need vast amounts of parking for personally owned vehicles. W e need a hard limit on the maximum of new parking spaces provided, again, as this should be a transit orie nted development, not a place for people to store their privately owned vehicles. No drive thrus, no nationa l chains, and no surface parking lots! This includes random surface parking in front of retail or restaurants. We need wide sidewalks, pedestrian plazas for areas to congregate. We do not need to enable people to drive 10 feet away from a restaurant, pick up food for Uber eats, then leave. We need a development for p eople who want to live here.
more park area small town feel 1
Minimal parking available- instead accentuate access through marta, beltline, future lightrail, etc. 1

MC sits at the junction of The BeltLine and MARTA and that connection should be front and center in any 1
development design.
Manufacturing jobs generally pay better than retail/service jobs and are accessible to workers without colle 1 ge degrees. IT jobs are fine, but I'm concerned they will attract workers from outside the area without offeri ng opportunities to those in the area.
Limited parking, make it walkable with engaging outdoor spaces where people can gather 1
Kept the cost of the purchase down and do not allow luxury developers to participate. Look at self made c 1 ommunities such as Little 5 Points, Va Highlands and East Atlanta have done. This was left out of your last study on Murphy Triangle and use consultants that live in Atlanta. Contact Kelly Jordan and Don Bender.
Keep the space a destination for others and an asset to those who live and support the community 1
it's vital that the beltline use this redevelopment to help lift up the existing residents of this area, rather tha 1 n intend to replace them. i've watched this happen repeatedly along the eastside beltline (I lived in Reynol dstown when the beltline was developed and it was really rough to experience firsthand), and this leads to a lot of tension in the neighborhood, an increase in crime, and displacement of historical residents. if lifting up and supporting existing residents can't be achieved, it would be better to not move forward with this de velopment at all. so far the beltline has been a lot of talk about affordable housing and job creation, but so far that housing isn't affordable to the people who need it, and the jobs are out of reach for existing residen ts. please be mindful of the negative impacts urbanization has on historical residents. finally - let's talk abo ut Fuqua. that developer doesn't care about the community, what the community wants, or what the comm unity needs. madison yards is a travesty! the types of businesses that Fuqua developments bring in (re: na tional brands/big box stores) are not what we want. please don't let this happen at Murphy's Crossing...
Its a prime spot for all neighborhoods. Focus on something that will actually be a frequented usable space 1 for everyone in nearby neighborhoods.
It would serve the community well to have affordable home purchase options for first time home buyers an 1 d the labor force. Not only rentals.
It should aesthetically pleasing and well maintained. 1
It needs to be designed as a public space accessible to local neighbors (walking / bicycle) as well as peopl 1 e coming off Beltline. Pedestrian friendly social space. A courtyard(s) would be great around which you ca n anchor retail /food business and some events. Definitely include outdoor seating areas. It should not loo k / feel like parking lot or strip mall. Also consider roof top terraces at 2nd floor level for outdoor dining / ba r /Drinking / entertainment /club lounge. Sidewalks and pavement essential. Consider parking at 2nd level. Multifamily 6-9 floors, commercial 1-3 floors. Consider prioritizing diverse /black owned business by proph etic incentives for them

if it's housing, please make it actually affordable. if it's retail, please no more breweries. oh my god, we do 1 not need more breweries.
I would love to see this space transformed in to an actual community resource space where there are build 1 ings and programs for ALL of our neighbors, not just the ones with expendable income. Please no more br eweries or restaurants with $15 plates. I’d love to see affordable fresh food in a grocery or farmers market style format, a community garden, a library, a homeless shelter, a mutual aid site, anything that is dedicate d to neighbors helping neighbors, not just profit.
i would love to see a dog park, water bottle refill stations, bike trails and racks, easy design for pedestrian f 1 riendly access. i would be very disappointed to see high rent residential areas that aren't affordable to loca ls that have been in the neighborhood for decades.
I would like to see various eating establishments other than fast foods. I would like to see Zoe's Kitchen, C 1 hipotle, etc.
I would like to see a dog park of some sort near the restaurant because I’m allergic to dogs and I do not w 1 ant them where I eat. I would also like to see some kind of gym like LA fitness so I don’t have to drive so fa r to get to one near me.
I was raised in the Southwest Atlanta area and after spending some years out of state, I am overjoyed to b 1 e back in my community. My hope is that Murphy Crossing brings beauty, art, food, fun/light entertainment, and walkability.
I think there needs to be some new faces at the table when it comes to potential developer and sponsorshi 1 p partners. This project should have a black-owned business involved from purchase, pre-development, d evelopment, construction, property management, and commercial leasing.
I think that even after a long engagement process, there is not enough language in the RFP that directs th 1 e potential developer to create a real TOD project with a "front door" to transit. Yes, the project is NOT a tr ansit project, but its design will either make the transit connection part of its heart and soul and function, or it won't. The language needs to direct a developer to embrace and anticipate this connection instead of sa y "Transit over here" with an arrow to a crosswalk or future bridge accessed incidentally. No developer will build a project that depends on the transit on Day One, because the reality is that it make take another dec ade for the infill station and BeltLine Rail to arrive, BUT any developer can be creatively charged with the t ask to make the development anticipate the transit in its layout, design, and ethos. That really should be th e minimum. It is NOT a "lofty" idea. It is what the BeltLine project is here to fulfill.
I think keeping the parking footprint down is best for affordability. I think considering dual use parking - day 1 time businesses & nighttime housing should be considered. Limited parking will help keep the housing mor e affordable. Also, I think the neighborhoods will consider higher buildings if that makes for more affordabl e housing.

I think Beltline has a long way to go with building trust in our communities. Y’all really burned us with Murp 1 hy Crossing round 1. Please be more responsive and creative going forward.
I think a cross section of job opportunities should be available for the residents. 1
I love the community engagement for this project. Please keep it up. 1
I live in Pittsburgh and we have to drive to other towns to get basics like fresh foods, farmer's markets, div 1 erse cuisines, and cafes to work. I would love for Murphy crossing to be a place that adds to the amenities needed for its surrounding neighborhoods. Keep all the trendy "beer" stuff to East side of the beltline. It wo uld also be great as a place for the creatives of our community. Whether that be live music, spoken word,
dance, and etc.
I don’t live at Murphy Crossing. I think it is important for people who live there have input in the kinds of job 1 s they need in their neighborhood.
Hurry up and start the process. 1
How are you ensuring that this feedback will be implemented? What are the STEPS being taken to hold d 1 evelopers (and those who choose developers) accountable to the community feedback? Are any non-gove rnment-associated community members on the accountability team? I am very disgruntled by the last RF P's Cone of Silence—something that was cited as mandatory when it wasn't actually mandatory at all. We need community engagement THROUGHOUT—not just at the beginning and end. If we are not there in th e middle, then this outreach is nonsense. The Cone of Silence ensures "the integrity of the [RFP] process" (empty words—it is your job to explain why this is necessary with real-life examples, not just "trust us" verb iage), but what do you have in place to ensure the integrity of the *community-engagement* process? Wh at are examples of how our engagement will be used? We should create a precedent where the communit y has a percentage vote in the RFP selection and review process. This might break tradition, but it is never theless possible and (more importantly) just and sensible.
Honestly I would rather the money for public art installation go towards affordable housing or workforce de 1 velopment – i'm literally a muralist and i think we have enough murals.

For Murphy Crossing to be a real success, transit must come as a pre-designed condition, so that the 20 a 1 cres plus all those around it that you don't own can develop in line with One Atlanta and with green and aff ordable lifestyles as core values. That will only happen if the placement, access, and design of the connec tion to transit is "baked in" to any plans. https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/932059384acc41e6aacb34f1e905e709/analyze?position=0.meeting_source&navigation=open:true&hideField… 45/55 12/21/2020 Murphy Crossing Exit Questionnaire
Ensure you are working alongside the communities that are adjacent to this development - living and worki 1 ng. Make the process as transparent as possible. Would love to see more activities for families to enjoy th
e space - retail with greenspace for kids to run/crawl, less focus on cars/parking, activities for all hours to a void dead space. Would like the space to represent the community it serves. Suggest having a resident co mmittee (stakeholder or technical) to advise on equity, community issues and ensuring those meetings are transparent to provide trust. Demographic and Residency Information should be optional. Opinions don't al ways reflect those connotations.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good! No matter what, some people will not be happy. Something 1 can go here that is a net positive for the area. Please, please, please avoid delays in moving forward with a B+ or better development.
Don't let the BeltLine Rail Now crowd have too much influence. 1
-Diverse but complementary architectural styles (brick to match Cut Rate Box, warehouse-y loft concept to 1 match local industrial character) -Manage stormwater on-site with green streets, bioswales, rain gardens -I ncorporate walkable, curbless boulevard type streets designed to slow traffic -Welcoming street engagem ent from the Beltline, not just the back of multifamily apartments (i.e..- NOT like Skylark) -Intersection upgr ades at Murphy & Sylvan. This crossing is HIGHLY dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians -Minimize parki ng. This is between 2 MARTA stations, along future light rail, on the Beltline, and walking distance from se as of parking at Lee+White. -I am opposed to traditional big box, but I would be open to a smaller format st ore such as an urban Target concept (see: downtown Athens) that is more in line with the size of a CVS. I believe that size could serve the neighborhood well. -Triton Yards is a successful food truck park just down the street, no need to duplicate. More sit down, fast casual restaurant, or sandwich counter type options ar e needed -Consider the retail space already available at Dill & Sylvan. Select complementary uses rather t han building overbuilding redundant space -Incorporate neighborhood history in public art. Call back to the State Farmers Market. Engage local artists. Acknowledge the current racial reckoning and civil rights strug gles that impact our neighborhood through art and storytelling.
Density, lots and lots of density. This is the only site in the entire city of Atlanta that has an intersection of 1 Marta, Atlanta Street Car, and the Beltline. There should be lots and lots of density on this site without a n eed for building out excessive parking.
Create jobs for people living in the three communities surrounding the property. Jobs/interns for the studen 1 ts in the area.
Community outreach...many of the people in this community don't have internet and cannot participate in t 1 his survey. Being poor should mean not having a voice
Child/student centered development would be great. Making sure to prioritize it's utility and benefit to youn 1 g people.
Biggest priority would be use by the community and available outdoor space. 1

As I stated in the housing section, I think that the Beltline should consider looking more toward permanent 1 housing at these developments to have a lasting impact. Mixed income properties where the residents are permanent allows for more interest in the community and improved school outcomes. Housing insecurity l eads to a whole host of problems, not only for the resident, but the communities that they occupy. The city and the Beltline should take a stand on providing more affordable mixed and middle income housing units.
When searching for my home, I was surprised to find that most of the places in my price range meant buyi ng a house. I am not equipped to maintain a house. Having a condo allows me to let someone else take c are of that stuff. All that's to say is that the Beltline should consider middle income housing in their plans. S pecifically housing that is permanent, not temporary.
A food hall that highlights westside indigenous restaurant startups, with a large shared commercial kitche 1 n, like an incubator, would be awesmazing.
A focus on local businesses and services that are missing in this area is important. Also, would prefer to h 1 ave the space utilized to it's maximum, building over parking, rather than having open/unsightly parking lot s.
I strongly support preserving existing buildings, a prioritization of transit towards pedestrian and cycling trai 1 l type corridors (and other pedestrian improvements), and that the design of the project be a stormwater B ENEFIT to the neighborhoods reducing runoff and mitigating against flooding - minimizing hard concrete/p arking lot surfaces should an emphasis. Housing affordability is absolutely a priority, but without knowing more, I hope there is enough options for all people struggling with affordability - even if those folks are clos er to the 80-100% AMI spectrum. I think single parents or a couple where there's a good job, but not nece ssarily a super high paying job, need help living in a city as expensive as Atlanta. Obviously those at the lo west lowest income have the hardest time finding any housing period, but the hardship doesn't stop at 40k -50k either in many families.
