Lindbergh-LaVista Corridor Coalition

2008 , Alexander, Jason , Barnett, Nathaniel , Bradshaw, Patrick , Brown, William , Bryant, William , Combs, Jason , Duggan, Colleen , Galewski, Nancy , Garvey, Blair , Lambert, Kaleah , Levin, Stephanie , Mayronne, John , McCard, Lisa , Morris, Catherine , Pfeifer, Eric , Rafferty, Jessica , Ray, Zackary , Rodriguez, Rolando , Roe, Matthew , Smith, Sarah , Tabor, Reginald , Thomas, Mary , Thorn, Robert , Tighe, Maureen , Vargo, Jason , Williams, Eddie , Yarsevich, Jared

Well before the Blueprints process began over four months ago two things were very apparent about the Lindbergh‐LaVista Corridor Coalition (LLCC) study area. First, due to the presence of neighborhood associations for Lindridge‐Martin Manor, LaVista Park and Woodland Hills it was known there were strong individual neighborhoods in the study area. This meant there were people willing to work to preserve and improve the places they live, work, play, and worship. Second, with the formation of the larger LLCC it was clear that there were common issues and visions among the three. Chief among these issues are the pressures of increased development entering the area. This subsequently conflicts with a shared vision of preserving the area's existing single‐family, leafy neighborhood character while still creating a better defined and recognizable image with outsiders. Embarking on the Blueprints process marks the realization by the neighborhoods of the LLCC that impending development is an opportunity more than it is a challenge. Preparing and clarifying the vision for the area will maximize the potential of the area and make a difference as development comes to the table. Initially, we held a stakeholders meeting in order to acquire information about the assets and challenges of the community. To fully grasp these assets and challenges, we presented our existing conditions findings to the stakeholders in a second meeting, based on four overarching sections: housing & demographics, urban design, transportation, and the environment. Once we had a firm grasp of existing conditions, we began to formulate ideas on how to enhance the community. We presented these ideas at a third stakeholder meeting where we were again able to get community feedback on our suggestions. The fourth and final stakeholder meeting was our opportunity to present the final recommendations for the LLCC and to get final input from the community for our report. We have split our recommendations into Nodes, Corridors, and Environment, three sections that continue to stand out as key areas of interest.

Blueprints for Successful Communities: Westside Studio

2007 , Barrella, Elise , Bateman, Neal , Danner, Amy , Gordon, Helen , Hauser, Anna , Hsu, Jerry , Vedala, Sundaram , Wagner, James

The Georgia Conservancy and the Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Architecture have partnered to undertake a “Blueprints for Successful Communities” study for the Westside of the City of Atlanta. The Blueprints study area followed the boundaries defined by Atlanta BeltLine Inc. in conjunction with its BeltLine planning process. This area covers almost one quarter of the City of Atlanta, with the approximate physical boundaries of Northside Drive to the east, Interstate 20 to the south, the city limits to the west and Marietta Boulevard to the north. This area includes all or portions of Neighborhood Planning Units D, G, H, I, J, K, L and T. Westside neighborhood members and community leaders were central to Blueprints planning process and helped to identify the assets and challenges and community visions for the Westside. This process included a series of community meetings as well as an all-day urban design charrette with students in Georgia Tech planning and architecture studios.

Chattanooga Downtown Westside 2009

2009 , Dagenhart, Richard , Yang, Perry Pei-Ju , Cambeul, David , Duong, Binh , Hussy, Heather , Kovacheva, Maria , Thorn, Robert

An urban design studio focused on the Westside of Downtown Chattanooga. sponsored by the City of Chattanooga. The studio project had four priorities for which urban design was to provide a framework for the Westside. First was to examine alternative to the grade separated Highway 27 that divides the Westside from Downtown. Second was stormwater management with the aim of reducing or eliminating combined sewer overflows from the Westside into the Tennessee River. Third was to extend the Riverfront Park to and along the River on the Westside, incorporating existing industry and weaving a future mixed-use industrial zone. Fourth, and finally, to explore options for future development of housing and commercial projects anticipating the impact - aesthetic and infrastructural - of the new riverfront park and extensive green infrastructure to define an expanded public domain.
