ATLANTA TRAVELER RESOURCES Welcome to Atlanta! Atlanta is home to world-class restaurants and an abundance of diverse cultural attractions and events, a festive nightlife and professional sports teams, our city is the epicenter for arts and entertainment in the South. More than 18 million visitors arrive each year to experience all that Atlanta has to offer. With all of the excitement surrounding your trip to our city, we do want to remind you of some traveler safety tips that should be followed during your stay. Public Safety • Do not answer the door in a hotel or motel room without verifying who it is. If a person claims to be an employee, call the front desk and ask if someone from their staff is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose. • When returning to your hotel or motel late in the evening, use the main entrance of the hotel. Be observant and look around before entering parking lots. • Close the door securely once you enter your room and use all of the locking devices provided. • Do not needlessly display guestroom keys or convention badges in public. • Do not draw attention to yourself by displaying large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry. • Do not invite strangers to your room. • Place all valuables in the hotel or motel’s safe deposit box. • Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. • Check to see that any sliding glass doors or windows and any connecting room doors are locked. • If you see any suspicious activity, please report your observations to the management. • When walking always project a confident image; walk with a purpose. • Stick to well lit, busy areas. • Remove convention badges outside the meeting site. • Do not give money to panhandlers. • Report suspicious behavior to the Police or a Downtown Atlanta Ambassador.

    The Atlanta Preservation Center's

    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

    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.

  • Decatur's Transportation Network, 2007

    Decatur's Transportation Network, 2007

    3 • Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 CHAPTER • 3 Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 othing speaks louder of a city’s transportation system than how its residents use it. A public survey conducted as part of the CTP revealed that sixty-seven N percent of commuters drive alone to get to work or school. Over 20 percent of commuters in Decatur either walk, bike or take transit. Even more interesting, 79 percent of residents reported having walked or ridden a bike to downtown Decatur. Additionally, the majority of residents feel that it is easy to get around the City. These results indicate a system that already provides a lot of choice for travelers. The following sections detail the extent of these choices, i.e. the facilities that make up the existing Decatur transportation network. The CTP uses this snapshot of how Decatur gets around in 2007 to recommend how the City can build upon its existing strengths to realize its vision of a healthy and well-connected community. Existing Street Network Streets are where it all comes together for travel in and through Decatur. The streets and their edges provide places for people to walk, bicycle and travel in buses and other vehicles.
