NEWNAN STREET CORRIDOR: DESIGN OPTIONS

OPTION IV: This option for Newnan Street shows the previous improvements but with the existing holly trees removed. Locating street trees in the center median, rather than near the existing buildings, could accommodate significantly larger canopy trees.

PROPOSED, OPTION IV

OPTION IV, EVENING

This evening view of the same option shows the impact of integrated crosswalk lighting, twinkling lights in street trees, and handsome downtown street lights.

PROPOSED, OPTION V

OPTION V:This option shows many of the same features but with the parallel parking removed and sidewalks extended along the south side of the street. Extending these sidewalks would remove six downtown parking spaces but expand the potential for outdoor dining, sidewalk sales, and more. This concept shows smaller canopy street trees removed in favor of larger canopy trees in the center median. Planting large canopy trees like Valley Forge American elm or willow oaks in the center median could create a welcoming canopy of shade on both sides of Newnan Street.

PROPOSED, OPTION VI

PROPOSED, OPTION VII

OPTION VII:This concept shows the paved area once dedicated to the center turn lane repurposed into dedicated bike lanes on either side of Newnan Street.

PROPOSED, OPTION VIII

OPTION VIII: This additional option for Newnan Street shows many of the same improvements but with the addition of integrated pavement lighting at the crosswalk. Raising the crosswalk to create a speed table and using a different material like brick pavers further calms excessive travel speeds.

AMPING UP DOWNTOWN: BRADLEY STREET PARKLET AND STREETSCAPING

Adamson Square

Implemented

This image shows the completed parklet at Local Ties in August 2023. This popular outdoor area has increased seating capacity at Local Ties and created demand for additional parklets.

With approximately 40 feet of paved area, Bradley Street at the Amp includes three parallel parking spots at Local Ties brewery, two travel lanes, and an approximately nine-foot striped pick up/drop off area in front of the Amp.
