Midtown Alliance is moving forward with plans to develop Commercial Row Commons, a “mini park” at the intersection of Peachtree Place and Peachtree Street.
The organization is hosting a public meeting on Tuesday, September 10 to unveil the project’s latest designs and elicit feedback from attendees.
Commercial Row Commons has been in the works since mid-2018.
“Development of Commercial Row Commons will provide more public space for this popular destination and high traffic corridor,” according to a landing page for the project.
“Currently, tables and chairs that serve Commercial Row’s restaurants impede the flow of pedestrian traffic through this important MARTA-access corridor. The creation of the plaza will provide both a clear and unobstructed pathway for pedestrians, as well as a dedicated and relaxed space to enjoy.”
Proposed enhancements include:
- “Improved alignment” of Peachtree Street and Peachtree Place intersection
- Repurposing up to 26 feet of roadway for open space
- Landscaping enhancements including a new, planted median
- Sidewalk and curb ramp repairs
- Enhanced pedestrian lighting
- Increased permeable surface coverage by more than 50 percent
- Milling, repaving, and restriping of Peachtree Place from Crescent Avenue to Peachtree Street
