Buckhead is on the verge of getting new zoning rules that could help transform its traffic-choked streets into the next pocket of New Urbanism.
The plan calls for an expansion of the public interest zoning district, SPI-9, currently centered in the Buckhead Village near the planned $1.5 Billion "Street...s of Buckhead".
This expansion will include the intersections: Peachtree and Piedmont, Piedmont and Pharr, Pharr annd Peachtree, East Andrews at Roswell, and Roswell at West Paces Ferry.
The goal is to make Buckhead walkable, resembling Georgetown in the nation's capital.
My only question is how can we make Buckhead walkable with cars flying by at 60mph? How about some street level trains or trolleys?
