2021-0014 - Revised Douglasville Town Center Implementation Strategy

GENERAL INFORMATION
The work to be accomplished is in support of the following Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) sub-element: 102CAS – Livable Centers Initiative Investment Policy Studies (LCI)

Portions of the Atlanta Metropolitan Transportation Planning Area are in maintenance for both ozone and PM2.5 standards under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Because of this designation, the region must look toward better development practices that support increased use of transportation modes other than single-occupant vehicles (SOV) to help reduce emissions and meet air quality requirements. The LCI Program seeks to increase the use of alternatives to driving alone by developing transportation projects and other programs to improve accessibility, expand mixed-uses, utilize transit, and support further development in the study area. Evaluation of the existing structure and development of likely scenarios should produce recommendations for future investment that support ARC’s Livable Centers Initiative Program. Improving safety and walkability will result in increases of the alternatives to driving alone.
