Pop Up Studio
For decades Little 5 Points has served as a go-to place for anyone looking to experience a unique slice of urban counterculture. To call it a retail and entertainment destination would be missing the point. Little 5 Points is an authentic Atlanta experience – one that mixes grit and creativity with underground theatre, cutting-edge music and unique mom-and-pop shops. While these eccentricities are integral to Little 5 Points as a great place, its public spaces, streets, sidewalks and parking lots are long overdue for improvements.
The Little 5 Points CID and Little 5 Points Alliance are starting up a large effort to redesign the “bones” of L5P, with specific focus on Euclid Avenue and overall parking management.
L5P has retained design firm Lord Aeck Sargent to lead the 8-month effort using substantial grants from the Atlanta Regional Commission and Renew Atlanta/TSPLOST.
The project kicks off with a three day “Pop-Up” Studio from February 20-22, where Lord Aeck Sargent planners move their design studio to L5P to dig deeper into the area’s public spaces.
L5P business owners, neighborhood residents and interested citizens are highly encouraged to stop by during studio hours to discuss a variety of topics including:
How can parking be improved in Little 5 Points?
Where do sidewalks need to be replaced?
Where do we need bike/scooter lanes?
How can Moreland and Euclid Avenues be more pedestrian friendly?
What can be done to make Little 5 Points safer?
The Pop Up studio will include a range of interactive planning activities, maps, analyses and other interesting da-ta that we want your opinion on. Please stop by for 10 minutes or 2 hours – whatever time you have available!
