PEACHTREE BOULEVARD TRANSFORMATION
What is it? The Peachtree Boulevard transformation is the major enhancement of a stretch of Peachtree Road in Buckhead into a more livable, walkable, bikable and drivable promenade. The transformation will allow Peachtree to live up to its reputation as Atlanta’s “signature street.” It will become a destination, not just a throughway.
Wider sidewalks, a tree-lined median, bike lanes –everything a thriving urban community needs
Where is it? The transformation covers about 1.5 miles on Peachtree Road through the heart of Buckhead.
The Peachtree Boulevard transformation will spur an increase in urban living, making Buckhead more desirable, attractive and beautified with:
11,500 linear feet of new 11-foot wide sidewalks
186 willow oak trees and 50,000 square feet of green space
83 modern benches
188 modern light posts
48 newly painted crosswalks
bike lanes
enhanced transit stops
6-foot-wide tree-lined median with flower plantings
When will it happen? It’s happening now.
Who’s doing it? The Buckhead Community Improvement District, Georgia Department of Transportation and the City of Atlanta.
