Piedmont Area Trans Study.Indd
piedmont area transportation study final report Several portions of the corridor, such as near the northern and southern activity centers, do have more consistent and attractive streetscape environments. However, other portions existing of the corridor have not received improvements during recent years. This creates a disconnected corridor and provides unattractive and difficult conditions for individuals wishing to walk between the areas with nicer aesthetics and well-kept conditions streetscapes. This discontinuity between areas is even more noticeable to motorists who drive along the corridor. Zoning Structure Portions of the corridor lie within Special Public Interest (SPI) districts which provide an additional layer of zoning. These areas are located on the east side of Piedmont Road north of Peachtree Road as well as on both sides of Above: Recently completed Phase I Peachtree Road Piedmont Road in the Lindbergh Center Complete Streets streetsape area. These overlay districts allow for Right: Lindbergh Center as common goals pertaining to aesthetics, a model of good streetscape attractiveness to all user groups, and unity of appearance in these locations as development occurs. Several areas that are prime for redevelopment are currently not within overlay districts (along the west side of Piedmont Road south and north of Peachtree Road), making them vulnerable to development that does not support the common goals of the corridor. “ … We have worked with the City of Atlanta very closely throughout this process so that our recom- mendations can be put directly into the plan they create for the entire city. That gives Buckhead a fast start on making vital transportation improvements.” 22 23 piedmont piedmont area area transportation transportation study final report study final report 3.0 Existing Conditions The current state of Piedmont Road is the result of decades of substantial use without requisite investment in maintenance and improvement to the transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway infrastructure along the corridor.

2019 Atlanta Swing Classic
2019 ATLANTA SWING CLASSIC Taking MARTA from Airport to Crowne Plaza ATL Perimeter Ravinia Hotel (http://www.itsmarta.com/how-to-ride-marta.aspx) The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is Atlanta's state-of-the-art public transportation system. A single $2.50 fare covers one-way bus or train trips, including transfers. When you land at the ATL airport, just ask anyone for directions to MARTA. You'll land in one of the seven concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E and F). It’s easiest to take the airport's shuttle (called “the Plane Train”) to take you from whichever terminal you land in to the main terminal; follow the signs for Ground Transportation to MARTA which is near Baggage Claim on the western end of the main terminal. http://www.itsmarta.com/airport.aspx Once you find the station, just inside the doors are vending machines where you can use your credit card/cash to purchase either a reloadable “Breeze Card”, like a credit card, or a Ticket. Before you get on the train, you'll come to a gate/turnstile type of entrance. Have your breeze card/ticket in hand and tap the blue target with it; watch others if you’re not sure what to do. When you've reached your final destination or to transfer, you'll use your breeze card/ticket again to tap the blue target to exit the train system. Put your breeze card/ticket in your wallet so you know where it is when you return to the airport! If you arrive before 9 pm*, take the RED line (North Springs) all the way from the Airport to the Dunwoody Station.
