Effective Friday, August 26, 2022, the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) removed the one-way, entrance-only pilot operation from Bill Kennedy Way SE onto westbound Faith Avenue SE and return to pre-pilot traffic patterns at the Faith Avenue/Bill Kennedy Way intersection.
WHAT: Portions of Glenwood Avenue SE and Moreland Avenue SE will experience temporary evening lane closures to accommodate street resurfacing.
WHERE:
Moreland Avenue SE between Portland Avenue SE and Metropolitan Avenue SE (northbound and southbound lanes).
Glenwood Avenue SE between Moreland Avenue SE and Brownwood Avenue SE. (eastbound and westbound lanes).
Glenwood Avenue SE between Florida Avenue SE and Moreland Avenue SE. (eastbound and westbound lanes).
WHEN: The temporary lane closures will begin the week of August 29, 2022, and remain in effect
until resurfacing is compete. The work will take place in the evening to minimize traffic
impacts.
DETAILS: The street resurfacing is one of the final components of the Glenwood-Moreland Intersection
Improvement Project. The project created a permanent traffic shift to realign the intersection
and eliminate the existing 70-foot offset.
Law enforcement officers will be onsite to assist with traffic control. Traffic will be restored to
normal operations once work is completed.
Questions and/or concerns related to this closure may be directed to Atlanta Department of
Transportation Public Relations Manager Michael Frierson at mfrierson@atlantaga.gov.
A message from City Planning:
The scheduled ATL 2.0 Zoning Rewrite Workshop meetings are being cancelled, and will be rescheduled. The first workshop was scheduled for August 30, 2022, at the Buckhead Library. The City is close to completing the search for a new Commissioner of Planning, and the Interim Commissioner has had to take a short leave of absence for personal reasons. The City wants to ensure leadership is in place for this important engagement and participation with the community. The Zoning Code rewrite is critically important for the city, and these meetings will move forward once a new Planning Commissioner is in place. Please check https://atlzoning.com/ for information and updates.
