20th Annual New Years Peach Drop @Underground Atlanta - Plan Ahead!
ALSO NOTE: Chick Fil A Peach Bowl Game (7:30pm) on New Year's Eve...

This is your opportunity to plan ahead for the fun and mayhem living downtown brings on New Year's Eve as Underground presents the Annual Peach Drop!  ADNA has posted traffic advisories from Atlanta Police Department (see ADNA website) which includes a small printable placard for your dashboard to strengthen your credibility with APD when you say you really do live downtown.  Please use it and don't drive when/where they've asked you not to!  If you can park before 5pm on 12/31 they will appreciate it.  APD has also provided a map with road closures and pedestrian bag-check perimeter.  If you are parking in a garage within the red no-drive zone, enter at the nearest point to your garage (FYI no one will be driving east on Marietta Street after 5pm.) Streets lined in red are open for traffic as usual.  As in years' past, don't BYO within the dotted lines or it will be confiscated!

For parade and other downtown driving information, and if you are without a printer, how you can pick up a resident placard to place in your car, please see the TMA bulletin just posted online.
