RECOMMENDATIONS: 129 South
ZONE
2
After crossing the I-985 overpass, visitors enter Zone 2, passing several commercial establishments at the intersection with West Ridge Road and then approaching Cargill and Brenau’s Featherbone Communiversity. While this zone feels industrial in nature, there is the opportunity for streetscape improvements and the addition of baseline pedestrian infrastructure to help unify this section of the corridor with the rest of the city.
APPLICATION SITE The intersection of 129 South and Chestnut Street across from Cargill is an important community landmark and a prime site to demonstrate improvement options for the area. The fencing along Cargill’s edge that fronts 129 South could use aesthetic improvements, and the sprawling, open parking lot housing Featherbone Communiversity presents an opportunity for lot greening and pedestrian infrastructure.
