Stitch planners hear public's wish list for parks and more

• The project — the $200 million first phase of which is fully funded — aims to reconnect the predominantly Black neighborhoods sliced apart in the 1940s and '50s during the interstate's construction.

How it works: Central Atlanta Progress, the city's partner in the project, collected input on issues such as parks, affordable housing and transportation.

• Officials are hosting an additional meeting on Wednesday at 5:30pm in the BOA building.
• Walk-up visitors are welcome until the crowd reaches capacity. A comment submission portal will open next week.

State of play: The design team is finishing the project's master plan and plans to present the concept to the Atlanta City Council this fall.

• Construction could begin in 2027 and wrap up by the end of the decade, project manager Jack Cebe told the crowd.
