Complete Plan:
Transit
>>Even more details are available.
Option 1:
Enhancement of pedestrian realms improved streetscapes and landscaping to encourage walking
Option 2:
Expansion of bike paths linking upper and lower Midtown and Georgia Tech and nearby neighborhoods.
Option 3:
MARTA enhancement
- Expand service walk area by improving sidewalks and cross-block connections.
- Enliven the stations through better lighting and by painting them
Currently MARTA can service 40 percent of Midtown given the current sidewalk and street pattern and the size of the blocks (based on a 5 minute distance). Therefore, mid-block passageways must be created to expand the pedestrian area, making MARTA more accessible and usable.
- Increase rider-ship by adding local transit service, which provides better access to stations from areas beyond 5 minute walk.
- Increase promotions and marketing of MARTA in Midtown.
Option 4:
Expansion of Stinger (Tech) shuttle from campus using 10th, 5th and North Ave.
Option 5:
Increase service of #10 bus line to every 15-20 minutes
Option 6:
Linear shuttle buses
Develop three north and south shuttle routes on Peachtree, Piedmont, north on W. Peachtree and south on Spring St. Two east-west shuttles on 14th and 10th (Loops were rejected because trip time is too long and most riders are on for short trips)
Option 7:
On-demand limo service (private corporations)
Equipped with GPS and computer/dispatcher that locates and programs each vehicle for pick-up and delivery, possible by phone call and location number for a small fee. Stops reach Tech and adjoining neighborhoods, maximum walk 3 minutes, 2 minutes within Midtown.
