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.

  • Executive Summary Lindbergh Tsads 2001
    LINDBERGH TSADS 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 LINDBERGH TSADS 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PART ONE STUDY PARAMETERS Introduction Picture, if you will, a tree-lined urban neighborhood where you can live, work, shop, and play without ever needing a car. Homes, offices, restaurants, and shops are all within a short walk of one another and are connected by a system of pleasant, tree-lined sidewalks, greenways, and bicycle facilities. Sidewalk cafes, public plazas, and other urban open space amenities beautify the area and provide opportunities for socializing with neighbors. At the center of this urban neighborhood, a MARTA transit station puts you within a few minute train ride of Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, the airport, and Pe- rimeter Center, and a short bus ride of Emory University, Cheshire Bridge Road, and other intown neighborhoods. This is the vision for the Lindbergh transit station area. Purpose The purpose of the 2000 Lindbergh Transportation Area Development Study (TSADS) is to help achieve this vision by providing a concept plan and action program for the development of a transit oriented neighborhood around the Lindbergh MARTA transit station. The study was developed by the City of Atlanta’s Department of Planning, Development and Neighborhood Conservation, Bureau of Planning utilizing resources developed by Pickering Firm, Inc. and its consultants in cooperation with MARTA, and a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC was made up of representatives from the study area neighborhoods, as well as commercial property owners and managers. Context The Lindbergh Transit Station Area is lo- cated in northeast Atlanta at the conver- gence of the North and Northeast lines along MARTA's North-South rail line.
