  • Inventory & Analysis
    Inventory & Analysis Overview The Plan’s recommendations will transform the Howard Property from a residential lot into a passive green neighborhood park. The plan provides for quiet, safe woodland setting with carefully renewed native plantings with an internal trail system that connects to the larger Beltline trail that connects to surrounding neighborhoods. Park Description and Context Upper Lawn in 2007 Comprising approximately five acres at 471 Collier Road, the Howard Property is a significant new passive park bounded by Tanyard Creek, Overbrook Drive and Collier Road. Acquired in 2006 to provide the “missing link” for the BeltLine Trail between Tanyard Creek Park and the City of Atlanta’s Bobby Jones Golf Course, the site offers passive opportunities at a neighborhood scale. Trail design by the PATH Foundation, under the auspices of Atlanta BeltLine inc. and the City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks Recreation & Cultural Affairs, was under way spring of 2008. With the assistance of the Trust for Public Land the land assemblage was completed in 2006. Residential structures on the site were demolished in 2007. This Master Plan is to identify and plan for various landscape works to further clean up the site and make it more useable and maintainable. Members of the community expressed a desire to undertake a master planning exercise to identify opportunities for amenities (seating, secondary pathways, plantings, etc.) and management zones (areas for naturalization, passive open lawn space, garden development, etc.) 5 Master Planning Process The Howard Property Master Plan was announced at the BeltLine Subarea Study Group Meeting of May 5, 2008.

  • Appendix E - Public Involvement
    Appendix E - Public Involvement Atlanta BeltLine Corridor Environmental Study E April 2012 Page Left Intentionally Blank Atlanta BeltLine Corridor Environmental Study April 2012 Appendix E – Public Participation 1.1 Public Participation Plan Summary The objective of the public participation program is to invite and encourage the public to learn about and become involved in the BeltLine Corridor Environmental Study. The development of the Public Involvement and Agency Coordination Plan (PIAC) ensured ongoing public involvement throughout the course of the project using a variety of tools and techniques. The PIAC Plan describes how the public, local and state agencies, and decision-makers will take part in the identification, development, and implementation of the proposed transit and multi-use trails system in the BeltLine Corridor. Key objectives of the public involvement efforts are to facilitate public understanding, to solicit input on the BeltLine Corridor transit and trails alternatives, and to identify potential consequences of alternative courses of action relative to the transportation, social, environmental and economic context. Use of the varying public involvement techniques outlined in the PIAC Plan invited and encouraged the public, federal, state, and local agencies the opportunity to review and comment on key project milestone decisions and to provide MARTA and ABI with the benefit of public insight throughout the project planning and development process. The PIAC Plan was developed in accordance with Section 6002 of Public Law 104-59 “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users” (SAFETEA-LU), which mandates the development of a coordination plan for all projects for which an EIS is prepared under NEPA.
