date: 2002-2003
location: DeKALB AND FULTON COUNTIES, GA
client: PERIMETER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS (PCIDs)
contact: YVONNE WILLIAMS, PERIMETER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS PRESIDENT
Urban Collage provides strategic planning and implementation services to the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (PCIDs), which comprise portions of both DeKalb and Fulton Counties. This client relationship is an extension of previous planning work that Urban Collage completed for the PCID as part of a 2001 Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) planning study.
That LCI study identified a list of key projects (including intersection enhancements, streetscapes, a wayfinding system, and zoning amendments) that would further the PCID’s mission to implement transit-supportive development and maximize existing transportation investments in the area. In the firm’s current capacity as “Program Planner” to the PCID, Urban Collage has refined that initial list of projects to create a comprehensive five-year Public Improvements Program.
Implementation Highlights:
- Awarded $6.5 million in implementation funds from ARC for the Perimeter Center Parkway Livable Corridor Concept
- Creation of Perimeter Public Space Standards to ensure that future development is consistent with LCI plan
- Oversight of Evaluation and Selection Process for Program Manager and Design/Engineering Firms
- Preparation of Zoning Overlay Districts for DeKalb and Fulton
