Safety In The SMART Corridor Project in the South Metro Region
The Future SMART City in South Metro
The Virginia Avenue Smart Corridor Study is a study led by the ATL Airport Community Improvement Districts and their consultants, Modern Mobility Partners and KCI Technologies, Inc. The purpose of the study is to evaluate technology projects or strategies to address mobility, walkability, and safety along the 2-mile corridor between US 29/Main St. and S. Central Ave. The outcome of the study will be a recommended project list and implementation plan.
Three Goals Using Technology
Safety
We aim to decrease the number of car and truck accidents with more traffic friendly routes, parking, and pedestrian safety.
Mobility
We want to offer more efficient ways for maneuvering throughout the corridor such as with better street lighting or signage.
Walkability
Having curbs or lanes that are more pedestrian friendly adds to the value and safety of the community.
