Project Overview
Midtown Alliance and the City of Atlanta are implementing safety improvements for people navigating Spring Street and West Peachtree Street in Midtown.
In 2019, the Mayor’s Office announced a $5M plan to bring accelerated safety redesigns to several Atlanta streets. Improvements are coming to Spring Street (17th - 3rd St) and West Peachtree Street (Linden Ave - 17th St) in multiple phases that will add more options for people walking, cycling or using other mobility options.

- Make spot pavement repairs
West Peachtree St from 11th to 17th St and Spring St from 17th to 3rd St:
Construction anticipated to begin in Q3 2026*
- Retain 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 between 11th and 17th Streets and on Spring between 12th and 17th Streets
- Upgrade existing one-way bike lane on Spring St between 12th and 3rd Streets with improved protection and striping

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. Following a restructured agreement, the City then assumed the responsibility 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 Streets 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 in 2020. The meeting discussed safety improvements planned within Downtown and Midtown -- including the West Peachtree and Spring Street "Quick Build" Projects -- and the Piedmont Avenue Quick Build Complete Street project (Ralph McGill Blvd to Ponce de Leon Ave) managed by Central Atlanta Progress.
