Atlantic Station, Atlanta Instragram user vicdmnds shares a nice photo of Atlantic Station. I had a pleasant trip here with the family over the weekend. I’ve said some unkind things about this development in the past, but it’s grown on me. Nonetheless, I still maintain that it needs some improvement to help it feel more like a complete neighborhood and to be better connected with the rest of Midtown. My Atlantic Station wish list: A public park with a playground A public library Don’t wait for a slam-bang skyscraper project to fill up the undeveloped holes on 17th Street. Pretty much anything would be better than the nothing that’s there. My suggestion: community gardens. Something interesting on the 17th Street bridge to make the walk across it nicer. My suggestion: informational markers with the history of Atlantic Steel and the process of converting it to Atlantic Station. Relocation of the Amtrak station to here. I read about that possibility last year and I think it’s a good plan. It needs funding.

I had a pleasant trip here with the family over the weekend. I’ve said some unkind things about this development in the past, but it’s grown on me. Nonetheless, I still maintain that it needs some improvement to help it feel more like a complete neighborhood and to be better connected with the rest of Midtown.

My Atlantic Station wish list:

  • A public park with a playground
  • A public library
  • Don’t wait for a slam-bang skyscraper project to fill up the undeveloped holes on 17th Street. Pretty much anything would be better than the nothing that’s there. My suggestion: community gardens.
