Midtown Neighbors Association
Midtown Garden District Neighborhood Plan
Atlanta, GA
The Midtown Garden District is a National Landmark Historic District just south of Piedmont Park in Midtown, Atlanta.
Facing enormous development pressure, traffic and growth on all sides, the Midtown Neighbors Association (MNA) partnered with City Council District #2 (Kwanza Hall) to hire LAS to conduct a year-long robust community engagement and neighborhood planning effort. The effort included online surveys, hands-on public workshops and a series of focus groups. Enhancement strategies include a big focus on streets and sidewalk improvements, public safety, open space and strategies to better protect historic resources.
