with specific goals and objectives. Provision is made for frequent re-

view of the goals and objectives and proposed programs by public officials,
the businessmen and citizens concerned with the central area. The pur-
pose of this continuing policy review is two-fold, First, the plan and

aspirations of the people who will live, work and do business in the area.

The work program places primary emphasis on the analysis and inter -

_ pretation rather than the collection of data. Most of the information
which will be needed is already available from studies ccoipleted or in: io
progress) by the City of Atlanta, the State Highway Department of Georgia,
' the Atlanta Area Transportation Study, the Atlanta Regional Metropolitan
Planning Commission, and the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.
This coordination is essential for the successful implementation of both
studies. The timing is designed to exploit the general findings of the cur-

rent area transportation study. The Central Atlanta Study and the area

transportation study are mutually complementary.

Figure 1 indicates the work program by tasks and time sequences. It

is intended that this model be used as a guide for management for the
study program. Itis recognized that all studies are subject to modifica-
tion and adaptation to the exigencies of unforeseen circumstances. How-
“ever, it isebelieved that the schedule as indicated in Figure. 1 is reasonable
and can be accomplished with satisfactory results in the time periods indi-
cated. Inherent in this study design is a flexibility which ‘will permit the
constant evaluation of proposed projects that are relevant to the Central
Area while the study is in progress, to give views on the impact of these

projects on the interim plans and objectives for Central Atlanta.

STUDY AREA

The proposed study area is shown in Figure 2. The poundasy which is
defined by the circumferential railroad lines will permit analysis of various
transportation.alternatives and reflect the impact of major redevelopment
projects on the downtown core. The core area itself will be the subject of ©
the most intensive analysis wherein data collection, analysis and forecusts

will be related to’ small zones, usually blocks.
