DOWNTOWN’S BIG YEAR THIS YEAR, DOWNTOWN WELCOMED many exciting new projects and attractions that have changed the face of our central city. The recent surge of activity—which outstripped Downtown’s growth preceding the Olympics—served to further establish the community’s position as the vibrant heart of the region for decades to come. Look no further than the inauguration of the Atlanta Streetcar and the openings of both the National Center for Civil and Human Rights and the College Football Hall of Fame to see the large-scale investment pour- Atlanta Streetcar ing into the area. The groundbreaking for the Atlanta Falcons stadium and the continued expansion of
College Football Georgia State University’s footprint further heighten Hall of Fame Downtown’s visibility, as well as its desirability among residents, businesses, and visitors alike. As the primary organization dedicated to Down- town’s continued growth for more than seventy years, Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) has brought together partners from both the private and public sectors to generate ideas and launch initiatives that spark positive change for the city. The future of Downtown is very bright, and we look forward to seeing you here.

Ride the Atlanta Streetcar’s 2.7-mile route, which links the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site on the east and Centennial Olympic Park on the west. Stroll the flower box–lined sidewalks, relax in a beautiful park, or discover a new restaurant. And if you have questions, members of the easy-to-spot Downtown Ambassador Force are always on hand to offer directions or dining suggestions or to escort you to your parking spot.

OPEN INVITATION
Central Atlanta Progress (CAP) and the Atlanta Down- town Improvement District (ADID) work hard to make Downtown better, more beautiful, and more accessible. Downtown’s unique assets, coupled with a wealth of exciting destinations and activities, make it the go-to neighborhood for spending time with friends and family.
Every day Downtown you can enjoy: • Unmatched accessibility from every major highway in the city. CAP/ADID’s recently completed traffic signalization project combined with more than 90,000 available parking spaces make it a breeze to drive Downtown and find a place to stow your car close to where you’re going.
• Great bike rides! Currently under construction, delineated bike paths on John Portman Boulevard and Peachtree Center Avenue will provide connectivity to both the Atlanta BeltLine and Midtown. More than 100 bike racks provide a place to secure your ride while enjoying your day on the town.
• Overflowing flower baskets that add a beautiful pop of color throughout the neighborhood. Additionally, 20,000–plus daffodils bloom each spring in Woodruff Park to complement significant landscaping improve- ments that enhance the Downtown environment.
• The iconic ATL playground, made possible by Bank of America, is a favorite for kids and a fantastic photo-op for all.
• The friendly faces of the Ambassador Force, who are able to provide helpful information about all of the great things to do and see in Downtown.
• The Clean Team that works to ensure that Downtown is always looking its best.
• Panoramic views of the city skyline from Downtown’s numerous high soaring bars and restaurants such as The Sun Dial Restaurant Bar and View, Nikolai’s Roof, and SkyLounge. Downtown boasts more than 300 restaurants, so you are sure to find the perfect dining spot for everyone.
