Construction of this mile-long public right-of-way project mobilized in May 2023. Contractors completed the majority of new curbs, sidewalks, ADA ramps, and other hardscape improvements on the east side of Juniper Street by February 2024. Contractors then shifted to the west side of Juniper Street and installed similar improvements through end of 2024. The majority of new streetlights have been installed and energized. Stormwater planters have been constructed. New traffic signal poles and mast arms have been installed with signal heads and signage in progress. Some new street trees were installed in late 2024, and landscaping will continue as planting seasons allow. Erosion control and traffic control maintenance is ongoing. Expect roadway pavement milling, repair, resurfacing, and new striping in summer 2025, along with installation of bike lane barriers and traffic signal activation in the coming months.
Street and sidewalk conditions have been improved as bike lanes were upgraded, sidewalks and curbs replaced, ADA ramps installed, and pedestrian streetlights added for safety. New trees and other beautiful landscaping have been planted. Tech Square has a new traffic signal at Williams Street, as well as a new two-way cycle track and raised midblock pedestrian crossing. Project will approach substantial completion in summer 2025.
Construction is well on its way to build a new multi-modal street connection to extend 15th Street from its current end point at West Peachtree Street two blocks west to Williams Street. Curbs and storm drains are installed, and sidewalks and paving is right around the corner.
4. Spring Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project
Project construction is underway to repurpose one southbound lane on Spring Street (US-19/SR-9) between Peachtree Road and 17th Street to accommodate wider sidewalks, ADA upgrades, street trees, pedestrian lighting, protected bicycle facilities, and traffic signal improvements.
Construction is underway for multi-modal enhancements, including creation of a protected two-way bikeway on 10th Street Bridge spanning the Downtown Connector to link up the planned 10th Street multi-use path west of the Connector; a protected two-way bikeway on Williams Street to connect to planned bike facilities on Peachtree Place to the south and 12th Street to the north; enhanced and upgraded sidewalks and crosswalks; gateway features and lighting. Traffic operational improvements to manage traffic flow and address multi-modal conflicts will be implemented. Vehicular improvements include repaving, refreshed lane markings, new lane assignments, and improved signage. New landscaping is also planned, including new tree plantings between Williams Street and the east side of the Connector.
6. Sidewalk Improvements (Annual Program)
Pictured below is an example of sidewalk and ADA curb ramp repaired by our construction forces at Peachtree St and 8th St. Since November 2014, Midtown Alliance has performed $1,750,000 worth of sidewalk repairs in approximately 385 locations within and funded by the Midtown Improvement District (MID). Work includes replacing or grinding concrete, resetting pavers, new curb and ADA ramp upgrades, tree well expansions, and other sidewalk repairs to help maintain and improve pedestrian mobility in Midtown.
The program will continue in 2025 to address prioritized locations throughout the District.
