After several public meetings and workshops, BUCKHEAD REdeFINED took the community’s feedback on potential plans and projects and compiled it as an executive summary. The summary includes six big ideas, which are each reinforced by a series of implementable strategies, programs and actions:
- Develop a district-wide multi-use trail to connect and celebrate the area history and culture.
- Activate and enliven a continuous network of streets and destinations.
- Enhance mobility to and from GA400 and beyond.
- Foster a distinctive Buckhead identity along Lenox Road.
- Diversify housing opportunities.
- Define the civic heart of the community through parks and greenspace.
Over the next 10 to 15 years, the Buckhead CID, along with Livable Buckhead, Buckhead Coalition, Buckhead Business Association and the Buckhead Rotary, will work together to implement long- and short-term projects to enhance the area’s livability, mobility and vitality.
The Buckhead CID will be pursuing projects that are consistent with the Six Big Ideas found in the Buckhead REdeFINED master plan. In the short-term, the Buckhead CID will advance the Lenox Road Complete Street project, which will provide pedestrian and bicycle access from Piedmont Road to East Paces Ferry Road. The BCID will also launch the scoping study to assess the feasibility of a new GA400 interchange. Lastly, the BCID will study the Piedmont Road corridor, from Peachtree Road to the Buford Connector, to determine solutions that will create a safer, more walkable environment.
