A map from the Brookwood Alliance plan shows the neighborhoods adjacent to Peachtree Road in south Buckhead. There is new momentum to see the plan’s suggestions become part of the city of Atlanta’s zoning code for this area. Ideas include taming traffic by creating dedicated left-turn lanes, encouraging developers to build vertically, and making the area more bike- and pedestrian-friendly. Students from the Georgia Institute of Technology’s architecture school have assisted the Alliance, creating the Brookwood Plan. This year there may be a draft zoning ordinance based on the plan’s recommendations.
