Broad Street Plaza Update

Central Atlanta Progress is working with their Woodruff Park architect to design improvements to Broad Street Plaza.  Estimates are expected within the week and we will update you on the schedule for seating re-design.  Improvements already noted include limbing up trees for better visibility, visible police presence (two shifts), and continuous cleaning by ADID and the City.  ADID is installing a security camera today that will join the 12 other downtown cameras in a network monitored by Atlanta Police.  Thanks again to all the neighbors who keep this project on the front burner.  Read the results of a working group of concerned citizens and neighbors of Broad Street Plaza who met last week to develop their list of primary problems, some of which are being addressed by these improvements.
