    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 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.

  • South Fork Conservancy/Peachtree Creek
    Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES South Fork Conservancy PEACHTREE CREEK Creek Conservancy Group Connects Neighborhoods, Streams INTRODUCTION: If Peachtree Street is the iconic thoroughfare of Atlanta, the creek that gives the street (and countless others) its name must also be the iconic waterway of the city. But, as is the case with so many of Atlanta’s urban streams, Peachtree Creek, once a waterway where people gathered at ferries, farms, mills and baptism pools, was bridged, bulldozed and forgotten, its banks overgrown with kudzu and privet and inaccessible except for the hardiest of explorers. PEACHTREE In stepped a group of citizens that saw the potential for Peachtree Creek to CREEK reconnect communities—from apartment complexes to reclaimed industrial sites—through a trail and parks system that would reunite Atlantans with this historic creek. Since 2008, the South Fork Conservancy (SFC) has established some five miles of creekside trails and restored dozens of acres of land through the removal of invasive plants and reintroduction of native species. The group even played a role in the remediation of a 12-acre hazardous waste site that now is home to one of SFC’s signature trails. THE WATER BODY: Peachtree Creek, formed by its north and south forks which join in the shadows of I-85 near Piedmont Road, is Atlanta’s iconic creek. It was at one time the source of many Atlantans’ drinking water, powered their grist mills and provided them with a livelihood. Along its banks in 1864, more than 4,000 soldiers died in the Battle of Peachtree Creek during the Civil War.

  • Executive Summary Lindbergh Tsads 2001
    LINDBERGH TSADS 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 LINDBERGH TSADS 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PART ONE STUDY PARAMETERS Introduction Picture, if you will, a tree-lined urban neighborhood where you can live, work, shop, and play without ever needing a car. Homes, offices, restaurants, and shops are all within a short walk of one another and are connected by a system of pleasant, tree-lined sidewalks, greenways, and bicycle facilities. Sidewalk cafes, public plazas, and other urban open space amenities beautify the area and provide opportunities for socializing with neighbors. At the center of this urban neighborhood, a MARTA transit station puts you within a few minute train ride of Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, the airport, and Pe- rimeter Center, and a short bus ride of Emory University, Cheshire Bridge Road, and other intown neighborhoods. This is the vision for the Lindbergh transit station area. Purpose The purpose of the 2000 Lindbergh Transportation Area Development Study (TSADS) is to help achieve this vision by providing a concept plan and action program for the development of a transit oriented neighborhood around the Lindbergh MARTA transit station. The study was developed by the City of Atlanta’s Department of Planning, Development and Neighborhood Conservation, Bureau of Planning utilizing resources developed by Pickering Firm, Inc. and its consultants in cooperation with MARTA, and a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC was made up of representatives from the study area neighborhoods, as well as commercial property owners and managers. Context The Lindbergh Transit Station Area is lo- cated in northeast Atlanta at the conver- gence of the North and Northeast lines along MARTA's North-South rail line.
