Atlanta BeltLine hosts open house to share master plan updates

Atlanta BeltLine Inc. and the city of Atlanta Planning Department have teamed up to coordinate two master planning efforts - Atlanta BeltLine Subarea 1 and West End Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) Master Plan updates, according to a press release.

The Subarea 1 geography includes the West End LCI area and several more neighborhoods – Westview, Adair Park, Oakland City, Bush Mountain; parts of Mechanicsville, Pittsburgh and Cascade Avenue.

There is no formal presentation. The purpose of this open house is to share findings from previous public meetings before legislation is introduced to adopt the plan. The draft final recommendations focus on land use (e.g. mixed use, housing, commercial services), mobility (e.g. trails, sidewalks, bikes, transit), parks and greenspace in BeltLine Subarea.

The meeting will take place 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 5 in the Lee & White Street Community Room, 1000 White St. SW, Atlanta.

The Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. conducts regular community meetings to keep the public informed on the very latest developments, progress updates, and next steps on the Atlanta BeltLine project.
