NBCA's Top-Level View of the Connect Atlanta Plan

9/14/08  We have tried to make the Connect Atlanta "Draft July" maps comprehensible, which is no small effort.  The source maps (all 45 of them) are on-line at the Connect Atlanta web site.  We found the maps offered a lot of detail but not much of an insight into what Connect Atlanta proposes to do for the City as a whole.

So, we took those maps and stitched them together and color-coded them.  With this single map, you can more easily see the higher level interconnections and the areas of the City receiving highest attention in the Connect Atlanta project. 

Note that all of the large text on NBCA's map was added by NBCA -- the original maps only have only project numbers in small text. 

Note: Please be sure you look at the map's annotation legend in the lower right of our map; it gives you the color code which is a key to understanding what Connect Atlanta offers (and doesn't offer).
