  • 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).

    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.

    JOIN OUR MOVEMENT Hundreds of public defenders Sharing a common vision Partnering with the communities Achieving equal justice In America we have lost sight of the humanity of our most vulnerable communities. As a result we have become indifferent to the injustice they experience in all walks of life. Our collective indifference to poverty, sub-standard education, mental health challenges, and substance abuse, drives a criminal justice system that is devastating low-income communities. Rather than deal with these issues, we criminalize those who fall victim to them. Public defenders are on the front lines to address these issues. Society’s mistreatment of its own citizens in the criminal justice system is a reflection of its lack commitment to equal justice. By interrupting routine injustice every day, public defenders serve as the conscience of our criminal justice system and the first line of defense to reclaim our democracy! By driving all of us to see the humanity of our most marginalized community-members, our public defenders: - Impact individual lives - Transform our criminal justice system - Drive a more equitable society AND THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! www.gideonspromise.org 101 Marietta Street NW, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA 30303 Criminal Justice is this generation’s greatest civil and human rights struggle As the nation has been exposed to a seemingly endless stream of highly-publicized, violent citizen-police encounters, we are awakening to the reality that justice in America is not equal. But for every person killed by a police officer, hundreds of thousands more are arrested, processed into a prison cell, and left unable to ever participate in society in a meaningful way.
