Please drop in for one or more of the sessions.
For decades Little 5 Points has served as a go-to place for anyone looking to experience a unique slice of urban counterculture. To call it a retail and entertainment destination would be missing the point. Little 5 Points is an authentic Atlanta experience – one that mixes grit and creativity with underground theatre, cutting-edge music and unique mom-and-pop shops. While these eccentricities are integral to Little 5 Points as a great place, its public spaces, streets, sidewalks and parking lots are long overdue for improvements.
The Little 5 Points CID and Little 5 Points Alliance are starting an ambitious effort to redesign the “bones” of L5P, with specific focus on Euclid Avenue and overall parking management.
- L5P has retained design firm Lord Aeck Sargent to lead the 8-month effort using substantial grants from the Atlanta Regional Commission and Renew Atlanta/TSPLOST.
- The project kicks off with a three day “Pop-Up” Studio from February 20-22, where Lord Aeck Sargent planners move their design studio to L5P to dig deeper into the area’s public spaces.
- L5P business owners, neighborhood residents and interested citizens are highly encouraged to stop by during studio hours to discuss a variety of topics including:
- How can parking be improved in Little 5 Points?
- Where do sidewalks need to be replaced?
- Where do we need bike/scooter lanes?
- How can Moreland and Euclid Avenues be more pedestrian friendly?
-
What can be done to make Little 5 Points safer?
The Pop Up studio will include a range of interactive planning activities, maps, analyses and other interesting da-ta that we want your opinion on. Please stop by for 10 minutes or 2 hours – whatever time you have available!
