Downtown Atlanta's Master Plan (or lack thereof)

Unlike Moreland, where you can bite into the parking lots a bit, Glenwood is pretty bounded by store-fronts around the East Atlanta triangle of stuff. Maybe Glenwood could be expanded a bit into people's yards, but something tells me that that's not going to go over well. At least the on-street parking is not particularly necessary, so that's a few feet there.

Glenwood actually widens out to 45ft further away from the East Atlanta triangle, and then to 50ft as you approach I-20 once more.

It's a tough route to fit anything into... maybe a center-running bus lane that is signaled to only allow one bus at a time in each direction? I dunno...

BRT on Glenwood is not happening. That is not even the final routing anyways, it is to go Bill Kennedy Way to Memorial to Moreland. However, they really need to just keep the I-20 BRT on I-20. Just build a BRT station under BKW / Moreland that connects to the street level.

When I and Imagine Memorial Director brought it to their attention, they came up with an excuse that it is one option, but the LPA has not been decided.

I might just shift the route back to I-20 and redo the sections to just be the interstate for now.

Are there any other places that jump out?

I haven't done the Greenbriar to Buckhead (Peachtree Line) street sections yet, and I still need to overlap the bike plans and redo any conflicted sections.

maybe show a section of what transit on the beltline could look like?

If you click the lines, each one shows a picture of the technology involved. The BeltLine ones have a picture of the renderings that included transit.

Planned Expansions and a few Street Sections

Hey y'all, I've updated the map with the Bike Atlanta plans from here:



I'll need to update the street sections for them now.
