Project Overview

Midtown Alliance, in partnership with the City of Atlanta, is implementing safety improvements to Spring Street for all users on Spring Street and West Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. Spring Street will be improved between 3rd St and 17th Street and West Peachtree Street between Linden Avenue and 17th Street in a number of phases.

In September 2019, the Mayor’s Office announced a two-year, $5M plan to bring accelerated safety redesigns to several Atlanta streets. The West Peachtree and Spring Street safety projects are included in the rapid implementation strategy. This project will improve the two corridors for people on foot, on bicycles, and those on other mobility devices. To see the phasing of this project, click here. The scope of this project includes the following:

West Peachtree Street from Linden Avenue to 11th Street:

Under construction beginning March 2026*

  • Retain the existing one-way traffic operation.
  • Add a protected one-way bike lane by repurposing one travel lane and several on-street parking spaces.
  • Resurface West Peachtree Street.
  • Provide bus stop enhancements, signal modifications, and ADA upgrades throughout the corridor.
  • Spring Street and make spot pavement repairs to West Peachtree Street

West Peachtree Street from 11th Street to 17th Street and Spring Street from 3rd Street to 17th Street

Construction anticipated to begin in Q3 2026*

  • Retain the existing one-way traffic operation on both respective streets.
  • Add a protected one-way bike lane by repurposing one travel lane and several on-street parking spaces on West Peachtree Street between 11th Street and 17th Street and on Spring Street between 12th Street and 17th Street.
  • Upgrade the existing one-way bike lane on Spring Street between 12th Street and 3rd Street with improved protection and striping.

There is an existing project currently under construction as of Q1 2026 on Spring Street between 17th Street and Peachtree Street. More information about this project, including recent construction updates, can be found here.

Project Timeline

In early 2019, Midtown Alliance's project team began the scoping phase for more comprehensive "complete street" projects on both corridors. Following the Mayor's announcement, the scope of the project was reduced and the timeline accelerated. Midtown Alliance kicked off the Design and Engineering phase for the quick build project in late 2019. The City then took over to implement the improvements on Spring Street through a planned resurfacing project in 2020. The first phase of the Spring Street LIT Lane was completed in Q3 of 2021 with remaining phases of work on Spring and West Peachtree Street beginning in 2026.  

Public Engagement

The City of Atlanta, as part of the Mayor’s Action Plan for Safer Streets, hosted a public meeting with Midtown Alliance and Central Atlanta Progress on February 3, 2020. The meeting discussed safety improvements planned within Downtown and Midtown including the West Peachtree Street and Spring Street Quick Build Complete Streets Projects -- and the Piedmont Avenue Quick Build Complete Street project (Ralph McGill Blvd to Ponce de Leon Ave) managed by Central Atlanta Progress.
