News - Talk About The Parking Deck
Do you want to learn more about the pros and cons of building an 800-car parking deck in Piedmont Park? The task force responsible for reviewing the preliminary master plan for the deck will hold a meeting Fri., April 1. The public is invited to listen to advocates and opponents of the proposed parking deck debate whether it's a good idea to build the structure in the woods between Magnolia Hall and the Atlanta Botanical Garden. A large portion of the proceeds of the deck, which would be funded in its entirety by the Botanical Garden, would be spent on park expansion and improvements.
The meeting will be held from noon-2 p.m. at City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave., Committee Room 1. For more info, visit www.piedmontpark.org.
