The project will construct a pedestrian plaza within the Atlanta BeltLine Corridor bounded by North Avenue to the south, Ponce de Leon Avenue to the north, the existing Ponce City Market development to the west, and the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail to the east. The plaza will be constructed to accommodate the 37-foot wide future transit corridor by providing a 5-foot buffer between the planned corridor limits and proposed hardscape and pedestrian walkways within the plaza. The project will be constructed entirely within Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. right-of-way. Proposed features within the plaza consist of hardscape areas with pervious concrete and decorative paver surfaces, low seat walls (approximate 18-inch height) along the center of the hardscape areas, and planter beds with shade trees and low ground cover. A 6-foot wide concrete pedestrian pathway will be constructed along the future retail frontage of the Ponce City Market development, and an approximate 10-foot wide hardscape connection will be constructed across the future transit guide way to provide connectivity between the plaza, the Ponce City Market frontage and the Eastside Trail. The landscaped area within the future transit guide way will be planted with native grasses. The project tract has maximum dimensions of 220 meters north-south and 55 meters east-west, and covers approximately 1.4 acres.
