The station is located 8.6 miles north of the Five Points Station along the North Line between the Lenox and Chamblee stations in DeKalb County. The Brookhaven Station will be located on a 5.5-acre site north of the intersection of North Druid Hills Road and Peachtree Road. The site will be connected by a pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks. The station also has a free intermodal bus transfer area just to the east of the station structure, between the station and the railroad tracks. This area has stalls for five standard and two articulated buses and permits passengers to transfer from bus to rail without going through fare gates. The use of pure, simple forms with a limited number of materials provides the basis of a functional and economical design with durability and ease of West view of Brookhaven Station.

  • Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction
    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction This document identifies Midtown’s goals, implementation strategies and specific action items that will ensure a rich diversity of land uses, vibrant street-level activity, quality building design, multimodal transportation accessibility and mobility, and engaging public spaces. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 is the most recent evolution of Midtown Alliance’s community driven plan that builds on Midtown’s fundamental strengths and makes strategic improvements to move the District from great to exceptional. It identifies both high priority projects that will be advanced in the next 10 years, as well as longer-term projects and initiatives that may take decades to achieve but require exploration now. Since 1997, policies laid out in Blueprint Midtown have guided public and private investment to create a clean, safe, and vibrant urban environment. The original plan established a community vision for Midtown that largely remains the same: a livable, walkable district in the heart of Atlanta; a place where people, business and culture converge to create a live-work-play community with a distinctive personality and a premium quality of life. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 builds on recent successes, incorporates previously completed studies and corridor plans, draws inspiration from other places and refines site-specific recommendations to reflect the changes that have occurred in the community since the original unveiling of Blueprint Midtown. Extensive community input conducted in 2016 involving more than 6,000 Midtown employers, property owners, residents, workers, visitors, public-sector partners, and subject-matter experts validates the Blueprint Midtown vision for an authentic urban experience. The Action Plan lives with a family of Blueprint Midtown 3.0 documents which also includes: Overview: Moving Forward with Blueprint Midtown 3.0, Midtown Character Areas Concept Plans (coming soon), Appendices: Project Plans and 5-Year Work Plan (coming soon).

  • Service Recommendations
    Service Recommendations June 2019 CobbLinc Forward is a package of service recommendations for enhancing CobbLinc’s fixed- route service. Recommendations were developed using public input, market conditions, and existing ridership patterns. Initially, three scenarios were developed that represent different options for providing transit service in Cobb County. Following the public outreach and comment period, a fiscally constrained preferred scenario was developed that addresses operational issues and future growth and meets community mobility needs. This chapter presents recommendations for re-aligning CobbLinc’s fixed-route transit services. The overall concept seeks to maintain the current investment of resources, with specific routes modified to improve transit productivity and reliability in Cobb County. GOALS OF THE SERVICE PLAN Six goals guided the development of the CobbLinc Forward Service Package: Figure 1 Goals of the Service Plan COBBLINC FORWARD SERVICE PACKAGE SUMMARY Proposed service changes were presented to the public and key stakeholders at multiple meetings. The CobbLinc Forward Service Package was developed based on key feedback from that outreach. A summary of the CobbLinc Forward Service Package is provided in Figure 2 and illustrated in Figure 4. Recommended implementation phasing is detailed in Figure 3. Route-by- route changes and improvements are described in detail later in this document. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | 1 CobbLinc Forward | Transit Service Plan The proposed service package, CobbLinc Forward, will: . Provide better service to more customers. Over 7,500 passengers will have expanded service hours, increasing their travel options. Another 5,300 passengers will experience faster, more reliable service on their current routes and 1,400 will experience increased frequency.

The selection committee will shortlist three artists to prepare a detailed concept for the mural. Each shortlisted artist will be given a $500 honorarium. The project budget is $20,000 and is inclusive of all costs, including but not limited to materials, installation, artist fees, transportation to and from the site, etc. Artists will be asked to develop a line itemized budget as part of the proposal submission.
