FABULOUS Jackson Street Bridge Parklet Project A submission idea for the City of Atlanta Placemaking Competition by Jonathan DiGioia NPU-M Transportation Chair.
On June 6, 2018 this project won The Department of City Planning Placemaking Program.
In 2019 Colorado-based advocacy group PeopleForBikes awarded Atlanta a $10,000 grant to help make the miniature park—or “parklet”—happen on the bridge, all dotted with shrubs, trees, and seating.
