Local Civic Groups rally to enhance visual appearance of the Connector and you’re invited.
“What if we greened the corridor, captured and reused storm water, gave people places to walk and jog, expressed our artistic and cultural side and reconnect the city?”
Midtown Alliance, Midtown Improvement District, Central Atlanta Progress and Downtown Improvement District hope to do just that.
These civic groups have partnered with City of Atlanta to create a strategic plan for enhancing the visual appearance of the Downtown Connector.
To kick off the plan, residents are invited to attend an “interactive, hands-on, visioning session,” Tuesday July 26, according to the project’s Facebook page.
Here’s what the project’s organizers hope to discuss with session attendees:
How would you enhance the visual landscape of the Connector? Green walls, urban forest, art, lighting? Would you use jogging trails? What would make our “front door” more appealing to visitors and result in economic growth for the city? Come to the visioning session and tell us what you think.
The formal invitation can be found here.
But what are your initial thoughts (besides some of the worst traffic in the world)? Drop a line in the comments.
