The partnership resulted in cost efficiencies and design innovations.

Construction Update – June 2018

Construction Report – Well, the theme here is baby steps or maybe pushing a wet noodle – take your pick. As I mentioned in my last communication, we had to write up a report to tell the railroad folks EXACTLY how we are going to build the part behind Lenox Square that goes under their main freight line. We put the finishing touches on that approach and got it all submitted to the railroad a few weeks ago. So now we wait and politely play the squeaky wheel routine. I asked the Magic 8-Ball (used to make all of my major decisions) if we would get approval in June and its prediction was “concentrate and try again…” so I guess I will be in touch later.

Mid Broadwell Partnership Donates Land to Mountain Way Common

MW Final Plan 7_15_13Additional .56 acre brings opportunity to expand park along Nancy Creek, PATH400

Mountain Way Common, a developing park along the banks of Little Nancy Creek in north Buckhead, is kicking off 2018 by adding an important piece of land. Friends of Mountain Way Common and Livable Buckhead have announced that Mid Broadwell Partnership has generously donated a 0.56-acre parcel at the corner of N. Ivy Rd. and Mountain Dr., creating an opportunity to add new features to the park.

“The community has wanted to add this land to Mountain Way Common for years,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, which facilitated the donation. “Its location across the street from the main gateway makes it a perfect place to add a feature that invites people into the park and raises its overall visibility. We are really grateful to Mid Broadwell Partnership for this donation.”

Naughty or Nice?

Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, gives us the dirt on PATH400 progress.
denise and will path400-smI have some great news to share with you today – it appears that PATH400 was on Santa’s NICE list this year! How do I know? Well, we just received the best kind of present – the one you never want to return – cold hard cash – and a lot of it! 

Just how much cash you might ask? (How rude – didn’t your Mama tell you it isn’t nice to talk about money?) Oh well – let’s be tacky anyway.

Construction update – October 2017

Great news! After several months of wearing people down with my best squeaky wheel routine, we have received approval from Norfolk Southern to get moving on the next phase, from Miami Circle to the back of Lenox Square. We still have to clear pre-construction meetings with both the railroad and MARTA and then you will see some good old fashioned dirt movin’ going on! We have also received our final approvals to move forward with construction on the Adina section from Lindbergh to Garson. We will build these two at the same time to maximize efficiencies.
