Last Sunday was the perfect day for a long walk through our beautiful City. While I typically go for long bike rides, I wanted to take things in at a bit more detail. Take a look at the sights from Reynoldstown to Piedmont Park, Midtown, and Downtown.

Here’s the approximate route I took.

Reynoldstown, Inman Park, and Old Fourth Ward

The mix of retail, missing middle housing, trail oriented development, skyline views and more are just unmatched! And it’s not just along the Beltline with great park spaces and and retail tucked throughout. Just an ideal urban environment.

10th and Monroe, Beltline extension

The long anticipated 10th and Monroe intersection revamp and Beltline extension is nearing completion. Seems like we’ll see final paving of the raised intersection and final alignments open soon.

Piedmont Park

Piedmont Park is just perfect! Any time, any day.

Midtown

The mix of modern and classic skyscrapers with older low rises mixed in make for such a classic big city vibe. So much building going on and still so much opportunity for infill – especially as you get closer to Downtown.

Downtown

The architecture may be top notch, but we’ve got a lot of work to do outside of the tourist district, especially at street level. I do think it’s coming though! From the Stitch, Centennial Yards, office-to-residential conversions, South Downtown and even Underground, things are starting to get going. I really believe that five years from now, we’ll be looking at a very different Downtown. If you missed my newsletter last week, I talked about several of these developments.

Phil Veasley is a Professional Engineer working to design safer multimodal infrastructure in cities throughout the US.

My goal is to create cities that are safe and effective for all people to move about outside of cars. To achieve that we have to focus on creating equitable, dense, and vibrant cities full of walkable neighborhoods with a various mix of housing choices, schools, restaurants, and services. We cannot have safe multimodal infrastructure without the density to support it and we cannot have equitable density without safe multimodal infrastructure. Outside of designing safe streets, my passions are sketching ideas for infill neighborhoods, floor plans, urban photography, and exploring our cities on foot or bike.
