The brochure shows a new 13th St cutting between Peachtree and Crescent. Will they be adding that? It would be so much better to have that street built and have access from there or have it only on Crescent. I just don't know if there is any room to do that. I hope they can flush that out and remove the Peachtree access to the parking garage during the permitting process

I completely agree with. Unfortunately there is already a deck entrance for the 1100 building from Peachtree right next door. I feel the same way about the curb cut on the 33 Peachtree Place project which has a curb cut right next to all the retail and on what could potentially be a very busy pedestrian corridor. I believe it is something that the review committee really needs to consider if we want to make Midtown as pedestrian friendly as possible.
I do not believe that the brochure intended to show a new cutting of 13th street because 1138 would be located north of the new 13th street connection. There is no way to connect 13th with the tower being south of 13th as shown in the brochure map. In fact on page 8 of the brochure it shows the parking deck entrance lining up with the 13th street intersection and crosswalk, which actually might not be so bad.
