What is it?

The Peachtree Boulevard transformation is the major enhancement of a stretch of Peachtree Road in Buckhead into a more livable, walkable, bikable and drivable promenade. The transformation will allow Peachtree to live up to its reputation as Atlanta’s “signature street.” It will become a destination, not just a throughway. Wider sidewalks, a tree-lined median, bike lanes – everything a thriving urban community needs

Where is it?

The transformation covers about 1.5 miles on Peachtree Road through the heart of Buckhead.
