Atlantic Ave Public Art - Stakeholders and Story Collection
Would you like to become a project stakeholder and contribute stories to the Atlantic Ave Public art project? Your insight will help artist David Wilson create an artwork that contributes to the identity of Atlantic Avenue and the Brentwood Neighborhood.
About the project
As part of the Atlantic Ave street improvement project artist David Wilson will create public art, which may include stand-alone sculpture, artwork sited at stormwater catchment site(s), and/or artwork integrated into pedestrian paving, lighting, benches/bike racks or other site elements. The artist will work closely with the design team, project stakeholders, and neighborhood groups to ensure a successful outcome.
The streetscape project is located between Highwoods Boulevard and New Hope Church Road. The proposed improvements will improve safety and mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. Atlantic Avenue is currently four lanes from Highwoods Boulevard to New Hope Church Road with a posted speed of 35 miles per hour (mph). Commercial land use occurs mainly along the west side of the roadway while the east side is primarily residential. Proposed improvements include a median, sidewalks along the east side of the street, a multi-use path along the west side, street lights, and landscaping.
