The Green Line

The Green Line What is the Green Line? An expansive paradigm changing vision for the Heart of Downtown Atlanta A conceptual redevelopment plan built on the framework of the Imagine Downtown plan A program that identifies and visualizes development sites within the East-West corridor An implementable plan that: o Envisions an iconic destination. o Stitches the city together through public space, transit and daily life. o Fosters public and private investment. Turn over for more details >>> Context of the Existing Conditions Unparalleled access to the region’s transportation network – MARTA rail, interstate bus, regional bus, Interstate highways and planned commuter rail service. Proximity to all Downtown activity centers – Georgia Dome/GWCC/CNN Center/Philips Arena; Centennial Olympic Park; Fairlie-Poplar Historic District; Hotel District; Georgia State University; State Capitol/Capitol Hill; Government Walk; Railroad District; Castleberry Hill and the Atlanta University Center. Acres of underutilized land. The BIG Ideas Create a greenway ‘cap’ – the Green Line - over the railroad tracks from east to west (Dome to Dome). Subdivide the Railroad Gulch with new streets at viaduct level to create a walkable block structure and buildable development sites. Construct the multimodal passenger terminal with terminal entrances at viaduct level and transit and bus connections below. Transform the Five Points MARTA Rail Station with new platform access and an energized, programmed plaza. Invigorate the eastern portions of the corridor through a southern expansion of the Georgia State University campus master plan. Support mixed-use, high-density development including: o New retail, entertainment and hotel uses to expand activity in the Georgia Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena area and to expand the preserved retail and entertainment uses at Underground Atlanta. o New office space to take advantage of enhanced regional transit connections. o New residential opportunities including Georgia State University student housing. o New Hotel & Conference Center and State of Georgia Welcome and History Center.
