The quest for a pedestrian friendly Peachtree Street continues

Driving the news: The Atlanta Downtown Improvement District is holding an open house Wednesday at 5pm at the Atlanta City Studio to collect feedback about the project.

Zoom in: The three-block project calls for reducing the number of traffic lanes from four to two, rebuilding and widening sidewalks, upgrading ADA curb ramps and crosswalks and new landscaping and seating.

• Construction would take a total of three months, or roughly eight weeks per block, officials said.

Zoom out: The project does not include bike lanes. Downtown officials say the design reflects the "corridor's intended role as a destination rather than serving through traffic."

The big picture: The goal, ADID officials said, is to create a pedestrian-oriented street with space for outdoor dining and designated spots for commercial deliveries and passenger drop-off zones.
