Midtown Connector Transportation Improvement Project

A Greener Heart for Atlanta

The Connector was built over half a century ago as a regional economic accelerator. Though it connected Atlanta to the rest of the country, it divided the city, leaving traffic congestion and environmental issues in its path.

The Midtown Connector Transportation Improvement Project (MCTIP) is a unique public-private partnership with a vision to restore the transportation network and create a park and greenspace while responsibly tackling environmental and equity issues in our community. Spanning from North Avenue to 10th Street, the project will combine vertically integrated transportation fixes with public gathering spaces, enhance roads and connectivity, improve mobility in Midtown, and transform life in Atlanta and beyond for generations to come.

Like a phoenix, together we can raise up 25-acres of active park & greenspace to achieve mobility for all and create a greener heart for Atlanta.

Community Conversations

In the coming weeks, the MCP Foundation will “host” multiple virtual community conversations that will explain the project in more detail. While we wish we could do these in person, we want to ensure the health and safety of our team and the public. Instead, we will post virtual sessions that will explore specific areas of the project and will respond to questions from all of you.
