Hosted by the DPCD Bureau of Planning, City leaders will present a draft plan for a new greenspace system based on the first series of public forums held in January 2007. The draft plan outlines the overall framework, direction and action steps to grow and manage Atlanta\u0027s greenspace system.

This workshop will be a follow-up to a series of five workshops held around the region in October 2006, at which participants were able to offer their opinion on what constitutes an acceptable level of accommodation for bicyclists and pedestrians on the Atlanta region\u0027s major roadways.  The Bicycle\/Pedestrian Plan evaluates existing conditions, identifies strategies for improving biking and walking along the region\u0027s roadways, and contains policy recommendations for ARC and local governments.  Those in attendance at the May 22 workshop will learn how public input has been incorporated into the Plan so far, get a preview of the policy recommendations to be incorporated in the Plan update, and be invited to comment.    \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETime and Location:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nTuesday, May 22 from 4 - 8 p.m. in the Conversation Pit on the Lower Level of the Atlanta-Fulton County Central Library, One Margaret Mitchell Square, in Downtown Atlanta\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMore information can be found at \u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.atlantaregional.com\/cps\/rde\/xchg\/arc\/hs.xsl\/81_3287_ENU_HTML.htm\u0027\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.atlantaregional.com\/cps\/rde\/xchg\/arc\/hs.xsl\/81_3287_ENU_HTML.htm\u003C\/a\u003E or by calling 404.463.3194.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"On May 21 and May 22, Department of Planning and Community Development will host a second series of public forums for Atlanta Greenspace and Atlanta Regional Commission will host a community open house for its updated Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Shape Atlanta\u0027s plans in interactive workshops"}],"uid":"1","created_gmt":"2007-05-17 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:56:05","author":"Jupiter","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2007-05-21T01:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2007-05-22T01:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2007-05-22T01:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2007-05-21 05:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2007-05-22 05:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2007-05-22 05:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1260","name":"CQGRD - Center for Quality Growth and Regional Development"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"3526","name":"ADVANCE women development"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EElise Barrella\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECQGRD\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=ebarrella3\u0022\u003EContact Elise Barrella\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-385-5124\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
