Description
One of the key tenets to creating better walkability for Midtown is the provision of frequent and safe street crossings. While such conditions exist in parts of the district, this plan has identified multiple locations where protected crossings should be implemented. This project calls for adding a mix of standard and pedestrian actuated signals to provide more convenient opportunities for pedestrians to cross streets. These new signals also provide the City with the ability to better regulate vehicle speeds by timing signals to slower speeds. The 3rd Street tunnel that connects the Georgia Tech campus with the southern part of Tech Square has been closed to pedestrians since 2009 due to real and perceived safety issues. Now that the parcels adjacent to the tunnel entrance on the east side of the tunnel are redeveloping, the time is right to develop a plan with Georgia Tech and GDOT to re-open the pedestrian tunnel that incorporates appropriate safety measures.
