ItemAvenue of Roses Corridor Transportation Plan(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-04) Hudson, Joel82nd Avenue is a former state route on the east side of Portland, OR that was recently transferred from the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to that of the City of Portland. The street is known for being the most ethnically and racially diverse corridor in the state, serving outstanding volumes of transit riders, as well as being prominent on the cityﾒs highcrash network. Existing planning efforts on 82nd Avenue focus on safety and economic and cultural protection of the communities which currently call the corridor home. The transfer of jurisdictional control over 82nd represents a unique opportunity for the city to engage with the street through planning to structure its right of way in support of these goals. This plan attempts to initiate this planning process. The primary goal is to identify a comprehensive transportation system for the corridor that recognizes and supports the 82nd avenue corridor as a distinct and valuable urban place and provides for safety and multimodal options that supports local economy and culture. A literature review is conducted including examination of existing relevant planning efforts as well as applicable technical guidance primarily focused on corridor planning. Next, a thorough definition of the existing conditions on 82nd Avenue is included, relying heavily on geospatial data to convey the state of opportunities and challenges on the corridor. Design goals are synthesized from the preceding analyses, and facilities are selected in response to these goals. The selected facilities are a median bus rapid transit corridor, buffered curbside, curb-level one-directional bike lanes, standardized sidewalks with a minimum width of twelve feet, and a reconfiguration of the vehicular through-lanes in the model of a road-diet. These facilities are combined and presented as a proposed typical cross section for the street. Finally, future needs are identified to address next steps, as well as prioritized tasks responsive to goals outside the scope of this plan.

ItemUrban Design Studio: Home Park Neighborhood Strategic Planning(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-12) Master, Michaela ; Yohanis, Samrawit ; Hudson, Joel ; Noe, John ; Lieu, Seung Jae ; Neaves, Thomas ; Yuxiang, Zhao ; Rollins, MilesNestled between Georgia Tech and Atlantic Station (and between the Connector and Northside Drive), Home Park neighborhood leadership has provided planning frameworks through the years, ultimately approved and incorporated into the City of Atlanta’s own plans, that aim at maintaining neighborhood integrity and quality of life for its residents amidst change forces all around. This update will respond to these challenges by exploring their impact on neighborhood futures and also provide recommended short-term actions that signal reassertion or reimagining of neighborhood values. As such, students will be called upon to work in group settings, applying their knowledge across all specializations, emphasizing syntheses among them. The neighborhood will provide forums for reviewing and providing feedback to our progress and shaping these interests. Their organization is committed to carry out a long-term, inclusive, transparent, and community-engaged program. item_description: Nestled between Georgia Tech and Atlantic Station (and between the Connector and Northside Drive), Home Park neighborhood leadership has provided planning frameworks through the years, ultimately approved and incorporated into the City of Atlanta’s own plans, that aim at maintaining neighborhood integrity and quality of life for its residents amidst change forces all around.

The neighborhood will provide forums for reviewing and providing feedback to our progress and shaping these interests. Their organization is committed to carry out a long-term, inclusive, transparent, and community-engaged program. Examples of the neighborhood’s range of interests include; o Reviewing useful proposals from earlier planning work o Tackling housing-related issues like conservation, affordable housing options, and impacts of short-term rentals o Framing development options along corridors (10th Street, 14th Street, Hemphill, and Northside Drive), including traffic control options o Exploring urban design initiatives for strengthening neighborhood identity, ped/bike-oriented streetscape, and connectivity and SPI-8 parking priorities o Analyzing, as an empirical matter, how closely the City follows neighborhood master plans, with an eye towards strengthening the influence of those plans The studio work includes data assembly and analysis, the consideration of alternatives, suggested courses of action, and a final report and presentation. Community stakeholders were intimately involved in each stage of the work. As a framework planning/urban design exercise, the studio covered issues and opportunities across the full spectrum of planning specializations including: data collection, recordation, analysis, visualization and presentation in a cross-disciplinary and community involved processes, transportation planning, land use planning, open space planning, urban design and zoning.
