1 Our Mission

To build a 21st century Downtown that is the heart of the Atlanta Region - a vibrant community with strong leadership and sustainable infrastructure that is safe, livable, diverse, economically viable, accessible, clean, hospitable, and entertaining.

Central Atlanta Progress, founded in 1941, is a private, not-for-profit corporation that strives to create a robust economic climate for Downtown Atlanta. With a Board of Directors of 56 of Downtown’s top business leaders, CAP is funded through the investment of businesses and institutions. The Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, created in 1995 by Downtown property owners, the City of Atlanta and CAP, is a public-private partnership that strives to create a livable environment for Downtown Atlanta. With a Board of Directors of nine private-and public- sector leaders, ADID is funded through a community improvement district within which commercial property owners pay a special assessment. Together, Central Atlanta Progress and the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District are committed to a Downtown that is a central place for the diverse Atlanta community and all of Downtown’s property owners, employees, residents, students and visitors.

2 Planning and Public Improvements - The Power of Imagination

In short, 2003 saw The legacy of Imagine Downtown will be the recommendations and substantial progress in ideas that are ultimately implemented. From influencing public policy moving ideas to reality. The changes, to building bricks and mortar public improvements, the Imagine Downtown process strength of the vision lies in bringing it to life. hit its stride and involved thousands of Downtown stakeholders. Based on the Jones-Simpson-Alexander Imagine Downtown recommendations, ADID developed a public Corridor Improvements improvements program aimed at making Downtown streets more The Jones-Simpson-Alexander (JSA) Corridor Project is an arterial walkable and accessible.

Two tools were used to engage the bus will be added. Conceptual design elements include: Downtown community and solicit their input on the future of Downtown – an online survey and focus area workshops. • Four 11’ travel lanes continuously from Northside Drive to West Peachtree Street The Imagine Downtown survey, which included multimedia imagery, a visual character survey and a short-answer questionnaire, was • A raised median of varying width to protect dedicated left turn lanes tailored to the issues and opportunities facing Downtown.

Emphasis will be placed on well-designed, graphic wayfinding ele- ments that can serve all modes of transportation to, from and around the area. Those aided by the wayfinding signage project will include not only local, regional and international visitors to Atlanta, but also area residents, workers and students. The project area includes virtually all of Downtown and Midtown and several adjacent areas, including the Auburn Avenue corridor and the Government Walk area in the south central business district. The Phase One Planning and Conceptual Design Study was completed in 2003. A team of consultants including Corbin Design, Jones Worley Design and URS was hired to complete the work in conjunction with a Steering Committee that met to discuss preliminary issues and to help provide recommendations.

This rec- ommendation will be presented to the City of Atlanta Bureau of Planning and City Council in 2004. Recommended changes can be sum- marized as follows: • Expand and combine current Downtown zoning districts into one Special Public Interest district (SPI-1) that applies to the entire Downtown area and add subareas to address specific issues. • Expand the statement of intent to focus on promoting an active, lively and safe sidewalk environment and improving the aesthetic quality of the street and built environment. • Adjust building and site use regulations to restrict uses determined incompatible with the future vision of Downtown.
