But before any of the grand visions could be fulfilled, some of the more basic elements at 55 Trinity Avenue as the of municipal government needed to be addressed. Response times for 911 dispatches 59th Mayor of the City of At- were below the national standard; trash pick-up was often times sporadic; the City had a multi-billion-dollar pension liability, deficit budgets and barely $7 million in cash lanta, he brought new energy reserves. These new realities put Mayor Reed’s priorities into a whole new focus. and renewed focus to City The big visions would not go away, but they would have to be secondary to restoring fis- Hall with the goal of restoring cal stability and fundamental core services to the taxpayers of Atlanta. “When people elect you to office, the first thing and most important thing they want you Atlanta’s identity not just as a to do for them is to take care of the basics,” he says. “I decided that on my watch the City “city on a hill” but a of Atlanta was never going to be in that posture again.” world-class city. Thirty-six months into his four-year term, Mayor Reed now calls the City of Atlanta a “house restored” positioned for its Next Great Act. Among his administration’s accom- plishments to date are: Passing, with collaboration of the Atlanta City Council, three years of balanced budgets without raising property taxes or requiring layoffs or furloughs. The budget now includes cash reserves of more than $100 million. Resolving a $1.5 billion pension crisis that will save more than $270 million over 10 years. Reopening all 33 of the city’s recreation centers, including seven outdoor pools during the summer, and launching two Centers of Hope pilot programs. Hiring more than 600 sworn officers to the Atlanta Police Department to reach nearly 2,000 officers strong, making it the largest and strongest force in the city’s history and providing them with the latest technology through initiatives such as the Video Integration Center and Smart 911. Reaching full Atlanta Fire and Rescue staffing of four firefighters per engine and zero vacant firefighter positions for the first time in the history of the department. Re-opening the Office of Constituent Services, which handles Phoenix Magazine 5 about 120 calls and 80 walk-in requests from citizens and visitors every single day. Improving city services across the board from water services to trash pick-up to code enforcement. But Mayor Reed said he and his staff have not just focused on the basics, because “surviving leads to just surviving.” Recent conversations with President Bill Clinton reminded Mayor Reed that his administration – if Atlanta were to be a world-class city – must be able to juggle the necessities of the job with the bigger picture. The former president described it to the Mayor as being in “the future business.” With a focus to the future, the most innovative and ambitious projects underway in the Reed Administra- tion include: The Atlanta Beltline, which will be a system of light-rail transit, trails and greenspace that will seamlessly connect 45 of Atlanta’s neighborhoods, while also providing first- and last-mile transit connectivity for the entire metro Atlanta region. This is the most comprehensive revi- talization effort ever undertaken in Atlanta and a true model of sustainability, redevelopment and mobility. The Atlanta Streetcar Project, which began construction this February.

Jackson Jr. International Terminal, which opened last May. With the new terminal, Atlanta has a 40-gate international air travel gateway with service to nearly 80 international destinations in more than 50 countries. The terminal is already handling 14,000 international passengers every weekday and 18,000 a day on the weekends. It has generated about 1,700 new jobs for maintenance and operational purposes. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport remains the busiest passenger airport in the world and serves more 92 million passengers Trade mission to China, in which Mayor Reed led several Atlanta-based companies and corporate executives on an economic development tour of that country. Local entrepreneurs reported more than $125 million in potential new business, including 75 export trade leads and prospects. On the foreign direct investment side, the Atlanta delegation completed 15 visits, amounting to seven projects and seven strong leads. Although metro Atlanta voters rejected a regional transportation referendum last summer, he says the city will soon be in a position to handle many of the city’s top infrastructure issues. “Fortunately, because of our city’s improving fiscal health and the growth of its reserves from $7.4 million to 6 Foundation for the Future 1 2 more than $100 million over the past two and a half years, we have the capability to go to the capital markets for funding to meet many of our key infrastructure needs,” he says.

  • 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).
