2019 Atlanta Swing Classic 2019 ATLANTA SWING CLASSIC Taking MARTA from Airport to Crowne Plaza ATL Perimeter Ravinia Hotel (http://www.itsmarta.com/how-to-ride-marta.aspx) The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is Atlanta's state-of-the-art public transportation system. A single $2.50 fare covers one-way bus or train trips, including transfers. When you land at the ATL airport, just ask anyone for directions to MARTA. You'll land in one of the seven concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E and F). It’s easiest to take the airport's shuttle (called “the Plane Train”) to take you from whichever terminal you land in to the main terminal; follow the signs for Ground Transportation to MARTA which is near Baggage Claim on the western end of the main terminal. http://www.itsmarta.com/airport.aspx Once you find the station, just inside the doors are vending machines where you can use your credit card/cash to purchase either a reloadable “Breeze Card”, like a credit card, or a Ticket. Before you get on the train, you'll come to a gate/turnstile type of entrance. Have your breeze card/ticket in hand and tap the blue target with it; watch others if you’re not sure what to do. When you've reached your final destination or to transfer, you'll use your breeze card/ticket again to tap the blue target to exit the train system. Put your breeze card/ticket in your wallet so you know where it is when you return to the airport! If you arrive before 9 pm*, take the RED line (North Springs) all the way from the Airport to the Dunwoody Station. If you arrive after 9 pm*, you'll need to take the GOLD line (Doraville) to the Lindburgh Station where you'll then transfer to the RED line, and then get off at the Dunwoody Station. (*This time changes depending on week day vs. weekend so double check by asking any of the uniformed MARTA staff; other riders are usually in the know too). The conductor will also announce if you have to make a transfer to get to the Dunwoody Station. There are maps inside the cars so you can see the train’s progress and know when the Dunwoody Station is coming up. Once you’ve exited MARTA at the Dunwoody Station, you can call the hotel at 770-395- 7700 to request Complimentary Pickup. Or, walk the 1.5 blocks to the hotel. Go down to the street level at Hammond Drive. You should be able to look left and see the “Crowne Plaza” sign at the top of the hotel. Turn left on Hammond Drive, which ends at the entrance to the hotel (see area map). Taking MARTA to the Airport: Make your way back to the Dunwoody Station from the hotel. Walking back is slightly downhill so it’s easier. Use your breeze card to get through the gate and wait for a SOUTH bound train. During the weekend, you may have to make a transfer at the Lindbergh Station (the conductor will announce it if so) and take another train south to the Airport. The last stop is at the Airport and you exit already inside of the terminal. (Revised 2019-01-28) .

  • Piedmont Area Trans Study.Indd
    piedmont area transportation study final report Several portions of the corridor, such as near the northern and southern activity centers, do have more consistent and attractive streetscape environments. However, other portions existing of the corridor have not received improvements during recent years. This creates a disconnected corridor and provides unattractive and difficult conditions for individuals wishing to walk between the areas with nicer aesthetics and well-kept conditions streetscapes. This discontinuity between areas is even more noticeable to motorists who drive along the corridor. Zoning Structure Portions of the corridor lie within Special Public Interest (SPI) districts which provide an additional layer of zoning. These areas are located on the east side of Piedmont Road north of Peachtree Road as well as on both sides of Above: Recently completed Phase I Peachtree Road Piedmont Road in the Lindbergh Center Complete Streets streetsape area. These overlay districts allow for Right: Lindbergh Center as common goals pertaining to aesthetics, a model of good streetscape attractiveness to all user groups, and unity of appearance in these locations as development occurs. Several areas that are prime for redevelopment are currently not within overlay districts (along the west side of Piedmont Road south and north of Peachtree Road), making them vulnerable to development that does not support the common goals of the corridor. “ … We have worked with the City of Atlanta very closely throughout this process so that our recom- mendations can be put directly into the plan they create for the entire city. That gives Buckhead a fast start on making vital transportation improvements.” 22 23 piedmont piedmont area area transportation transportation study final report study final report 3.0 Existing Conditions The current state of Piedmont Road is the result of decades of substantial use without requisite investment in maintenance and improvement to the transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway infrastructure along the corridor.
