Upper Westside Bus Stop Placemaking Plan | Vision Survey

Thanks for designing a better bus stop with us!

We’re embarking on a six-month effort to make the walking, biking, and transit experience along Huff Road and Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard in Blandtown safe, comfortable, and fun. During that period (which began in January and concludes in June) we’ll develop conceptual plans that reimagine bus stops as well connected and artful public spaces.

This is the first touchpoint of many, so stay in the loop by signing up for project updates at the end of this survey and visit UpperWestsideATL.org for more information!
