The study area for this project is located entirely within the Midtown LCI (Blueprint Midtown) and Midtown Improvement District boundaries.

This document presents a set of Transit-Oriented Development Guidelines which have been adopted by the metropolitan atlanta rapid Transit authority.

The City of East Point has an opportunity to dramaically change the future character and function of downtown and the Main Street Corridor (US / Hwy 29) with Transit-Oriented Development.

The Central Perimeter (DeKalb) Community Improvement District is partnering with DeKalb County to make pedestrian and bicycle access as well as vehicular safety improvements along Lake Hearn Drive from Ashford-Dunwoody Road to Perimeter Summit Parkway and along Parkside Place between Lake Hearn Drive and Perimeter Summit Parkway.

The vision for the King Memorial station transit-oriented development is to create a residential focal point that compliments the MARTA train station as a transportation focal point and serves as a connection to and center of activity for the various neighborhoods that surround it.

The primary existing land use within the study area is DeKalb County?s government offices and facilities, which include several county departments, a jail, juvenile court, etc.

between the Interstate 75/85 convergence into the Downtown Connector, and the Connector and Interstate 20 interchange. The study area is approximately two miles long, from Northside Drive on the west and extending almost to Central Park Drive on the east. At its widest, along Peachtree Street and West Peachtree Street, it is only one-third of a mile across, from Pine Street on the north to Baker Street on the south.

Extensive access to and from Memorial Drive is essential to service to the surrounding communities. This considered, points of access should be selective and preferential to the corridor?s nature as an arterial route.

Midtown Atlanta is perfectly positioned to be a leader in sustainabil- ity due to its location, its infrastructure, and its people. The purpose of Greenprint Midtown, is to spur actions that further enhance Midtown?s development as one of the nation?s most livable, innovative, economi- cally successful, and sustainable communities.

The purpose of this study is to build upon these initiatives and develop an urban design strategy for one of the most challenging areas of Downtown known as the ?Gulch?. This plan illustrates the development potential within a ninety-four acre area, which includes the Gulch and a portion of the East-West Corridor of Downtown Atlanta.

Fort McPherson became the first permanent Army installation in the southeast on May 4, 1889. Through its century of service to the country, the post was used as a general hospital during World Wars I + II, a prisoner of war camp, a training area for the Civilian Conservation Corps, and a separation center.

Our vision is rooted in the desire to create a civic gathering place that will enhance the identity of the Edgewood.

The Edgewood neighborhood was developed post-Civil War at the arrival of the Georgia Railroad in 1847. Many neighborhoods like Edgewood sprung up along the Georgia Railroad line from Decatur to Atlanta. By the early 1900s, Edgewood and it?s surrounding neighborhoods were all active communities with trolley lines connecting these neighborhoods to Atlanta and Decatur.

In addition to advancing the merits and goals of MARTA?s TOD Guidelines, the Edgewood charrette also serves as an opportunity to further advance the previous planning studies conducted around both the Candler Park and Edgewood communities, all of which recommend higher density housing and mixed-use nodes at the south side of the Edgewood/ Candler Park MARTA station site.

The City of East Point has an opportunity to drama cally change the future character and func on of downtown and the Main Street Corridor (US / Hwy 29) with Transit-Oriented Development.

This Dunwoody Village Master Plan was completed by the City of Dunwoody and its team of consultants during the period of Summer 2010 through early 2011. This plan is designed to comply with the standards and intent of the Atlanta Regional Commission?s (ARC) Livable Centers Initiative (LCI).

The study area is located just west of the intersection of I-285 and I- 85 in northeast DeKalb County, approximately 14 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. DeKalb County grew during the rst major wave of post World War II suburban development in the Atlanta region, engul ng once-isolated towns and cities with shopping centers, housing, and employment facilities in the process.

The Donald L. Hollowell Parkway Redevelopment Plan (DLH Plan) builds upon several previous planning efforts, particularly the Northwest Atlanta Framework Plan (NAFP) adopted in October 2000.

Downtown Atlanta is the center of one of America?s most vibrant and growing communities. The Atlanta region has seen sustained growth for more than a decade, with 700,000 new jobs created and 880,000 new residents arriving since 1990. Intown Atlanta ? Downtown, Buckhead, Midtown, and other intown locations ? has seen a tremendous return of interest, investment, and new residents.

The City of Chamblee is one of eight municipalities located within DeKalb County. As a small community within a large and heavily urbanized region, Chamblee is able to combine the benefits of local government service with the infrastructure and support of a large county.
