    2011 FESTIVAL GUIDE ACPinfo.org Welcome to the Atlanta Celebrates Photography Festival 2011, our 13th year of celebrating photography across the Metro-Atlanta area! During the ACP festival, Atlanta will be transformed by photography. Hundreds of venues, from your favorite museum to your local coffee- shop, will be infused with the creative efforts of local photographers to internationally-known artists; you might even see snapshots from your Atlanta friends and neighbors! From inspiration to education, ACP 2011 delivers the best in photography, from enlightening exhibitions at participating galleries, to provocative public art installations on the streets of Atlanta. To get the most out of the Festival, grab a highlighter and spend a few minutes discovering your favorites in the Festival Guide. Highlight events that look interesting to you, then indicate your favorites on the calendar at the front of the guide (there is also an index of artists and venues to assist your search for a particular event). Then you’ll have an easy schedule that can guide your month-long photography experience! With so much to choose from, we know it can be a bit overwhelming! There are far too many events and exhibitions for one person to attend, so don’t get discouraged. There’s something for everyone; try starting with ACP’s featured events (pgs 14 - 21) and join us as we explore where photography meets contemporary art and culture. We look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks, and again, we’d love to hear about your Festival experience.

    PLANNING FOR INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE ON THE ATLANTA DOWNTOWN CONNECTOR EXPRESSWAY by FRED THOMAS DAVIS (Under the Direction of Jon Calabria) ABSTRACT Urban expressway corridors can be enhanced to accommodate a wider range of transportation including new public transit types and pedestrian and cycling pathways, and urban and ecological services such as parks and bioretention for stormwater runoff treatment. This research-design thesis identifies green infrastructure as a flexible design tool to improve urban expressways in regards to stormwater runoff, traffic, safety, transit, public health, economy, and community. After discussing new automobile technology that could organize traffic and reduce congestion on urban expressways, this thesis examines the current state of highway stormwater treatment and explores potential improvements. It then identifies green infrastructure as a flexible design tool to convert urban expressways into multi-modal transportation landscapes with improved stormwater control and other environmental, social, and economic urban benefits. A design application on the Atlanta downtown connector tests the strengths and weaknesses of using green infrastructure as such a strategy.
