So I guess for the next 8 years or so, enjoy the gridlock that west Midtown will become, secure in the knowledge that it's being planned and studied as you sit in traffic.

That seems like a good way to waste a few minutes. Complaining to Fuqua is pointless. The problem lies with the city's (lack of) planning department that keeps allowing suburban development in key locations. I know Tim Keane is instituting wholesale changes in the city's planning which will take time. In the meantime there's apparently noone at city hall with the foresight to rid the city's core of this kind of development.

Unfortunately the BeltLine overlay district just falls outside of the property so the "quality of life" zoning requirements for streetscapes and building setbacks don't apply here. (ex surface parking along 17th street in lieu of buildings fronting 17th properly, drive-through outparcels can face public streets, etc) Fuqua can get away with a lot more crap here than Glenwood Park's Kroger.

taxable revenue bonds for the development of an approximately 82,000 square foot Kroger
grocery store, fuel center, and parking lot to be located at the Northside Drive and 17th Street
intersection in Atlanta’s Westside neighborhood. Ms. Johnson stated that the Kroger grocery
store will also feature a Starbucks, extended nutrition department, meals to go department, and
household goods department. Ms. Yvonne stated that this proposed Kroger will be similar to the
recently opened Kroger Glenwood and Kroger Lindbergh. Mr. Nash informed the Authority that
this project site is a brownfield and was formerly owned by the Georgia Toll Road Authority. Mr. Nash recommended approval of the
project. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hodge, which was seconded by Mr. Broadbent, the
Authority unanimously approved the letter of inducement for Kroger.
