In the Community article: Planners Seek Input for LCI
February 24, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/March 2010
 Development planners in North Druid Hills are seeking community input on how to improve traffic and vital junctions within the area.
The North Druid Hills Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study area is located in Atlanta with several major transportation facilities traversing the area, including I-85; North Druid Hills, Briarcliff, and Clairmont roads. Since North Druid Hills Road serves multiple transportation purposes, traffic congestion is a major concern for both commuters and residents. Currently, planned improvements in various stages of completion are being implemented in the area including key intersection improvements, signal timing improvements and traffic control upgrades.
The area is also facing intense redevelopment pressure and has been the focus of several recently proposed areas pushing mixed use developments which include residential, retail, office, and/or hotel uses at various levels and mixes. Certain properties ready for redevelopment are long-established residential and tight-knit religious communities. This LCI will result in a master plan that brings all varied stakeholders together to form a unified vision for transportation and land use for the ultimate enhancement of the North Druid Hills area.
Four community-wide public engagement activities are planned to meet the objectives of the study; three meetings have already occurred. The kick-off meeting in October announced the study and its goals to interested media and community members and detailed future opportunities for public input. This meeting set the stage for the identification of issues and opportunities. To learn about the study and to provide your input, visit the LCI website at www.northdruidhillslci.com.
