Heroes Walk: Promoting Economic Development through Pedestrian Infrastructure in Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn
- Recipient: Sweet Auburn Works
- Recipient Address: 228 Auburn Avenue, NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
- Request Amount: $1,016,086
- Explanation of the Request: The 1.1-mile Heroes Walk placemaking initiative will weave together a system of existing multi-use trails and points of interest, along with less activated parts of Atlanta’s urban core. More than one million annual visitors come to the King Historical Park alone, but few travel deeper into the Sweet Auburn neighborhood to dine, shop, or explore. The Heroes Walk aims to capture this lost opportunity for engagement and revenue by creating inviting, safe, and well-designed public space, with ample commercial activity, encouraging visitors to frequent Sweet Auburn as a destination of choice. The Heroes Walk will connect a system of existing multi-use trails and points of interest, beginning at the Jackson Street Bridge (adjacent to the Freedom Parkway Trail), and concluding at Historic Oakland Cemetery, passing the King Historical Park and a light rail MARTA station in the process. By creating an inviting pedestrian experience uniting these points of interest, the Heroes Walk will generate new economic development for Sweet Auburn, just as the aforementioned multi-use trails have done for other Atlanta neighborhoods. This is a proven concept in neighborhood revitalization, and the return on investment for taxpayers will have a generational impact.

- Request Amount: $1,050,000
- Explanation of the Request: This project will fund the total restoration of historical Fire Station #16 in the Vine City/English Avenue community of Atlanta, which housed the first team of black firefighters in 1963 and then 15 years later housed the first black firewomen. Currently, the Station stands as an anchor in the community and holds community events to assist the residents of the community, neighboring residents of English Avenue, Vine City, and Washington Park, including the 52-year long tradition of Christmas Parties and Toy Drives, which were originally launched by the first cohort of black firefighters. The station is in need of substantial renovations, not only to preserve the legacy of the groundbreaking firefighters, but to continue to serve as a functioning fire station, as it has far exceeded its fire industry lifetime. Built in 1963, the station is over 60 years old. Recently, the fire station was examined by an external audit report from the City of Atlanta’s Department of Enterprise Asset Management (DEAM) which determined the amount of renovation required for the station, much of which would be funded by this project. The requested funding will be used to upgrade the station kitchen, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical systems, bathrooms, and make much needed repairs to exterior walls and the roof, among other critical improvements. These are necessary to allow the station to remain operational and serve its community anchor functions.

- Recipient Address: 1145 Moreland Place SE, Atlanta, GA 30316
- Request Amount: $4,000,000
- Explanation of the Request: The South Moreland Avenue Working Group’s goal is to make Moreland Avenue safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles and this project would address some of the most urgent safety improvements along Moreland Ave. This project has three main components: fixing over-paved curbs, repairing impassable sidewalks, and planting trees along the sidewalk and the center median. Funding is needed to raise the curbs on Moreland Ave to standard design heights. This project will supplement Atlanta Department of Transportation funds from a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax that have been set aside for sidewalk repairs along the stretch of Moreland Ave from I-20 to I-285 and federal funding is essential to replace or repair all the Moreland Ave sidewalk that is in disrepair. Funding to add understory trees, shrubs, and grasses in sidewalk and road center medians is consistent with the 2008 Moreland Ave Livable Communities Initiative Study. The portions of Moreland Ave north of I-20 consistently have these plantings, which calm traffic, protect pedestrians, and moderate heat deserts – all of which are also needed along the section of Moreland Ave south of I-20.

This program would fund a new fleet of 11 15-passenger buses, which will not only serve youth now, but for many years to come. The current fleet is aging rapidly, and an investment in new buses is truly an investment in youth, families, and future generations. Buses are used to transport youth from school to the Clubs in the Fifth Congressional District, for field trips, and to college and employer site visits as part of BGCMA’s workforce readiness efforts. Three buses would be used by BGCMA’s At-Promise sites, and eight would be used by standalone Clubs. These buses are projected to serve 2,465 youth at these sites.
