Would love to see residential above Underground, but the City has some work to do to make it an attractive area for potential residents.
I can’t think of many residential developments in Atlanta where the retail component is totally enclosed–that is, a property where residents don’t have to exit the building at all to shop, dine, etc.
The only one that comes readily to mind is Colony Square, which has a fairly limited residential component (and limited retail, for that matter).
Sad story about the biking death. Last night I was headed west on College Ave around 8:15 pm and came across 2 bikes traveling in the roadway (1 in each direction). Neither of them had lights or reflective clothing, which made them near impossible to see. Why don’t they use the bike path that is only 100 feet away?
Depends where on College they were. Remember there is no bike path right now east of Church St.
The news reports I heard said that the bikers, who it sounds like were on a tandem bike, apparently (maybe in attempt to avoid traffic) hit a mailbox and fell into traffic.
They were between McDonough St. and Atlanta Ave.
Then your question stands.
We need people to reach out to the City about the PATH being closed east of Church! They have had very few people complain since the closure took effect.
