Love all the drama over these additional 50 spaces for the senior home. The parking next to the Mercy center already exists, so they are adding a parking deck and a 50 surface spaces for the senior home. With 5 story buildings fronting the street.... This is 'low density' in danger of turning the neighborhood into lifeless suburban neighborhood with MARTA rail across the street.
This isn't downtown... it isn't midtown. Other than Pencil Factory Apartments, this will be the only parking deck in the immediate area. All other housing has surface parking. I think this will be good density. My grandma had a car at her senior home- and I don't think she would have easily parked in a parking deck. The poles and visibility in parking deck are not easy.
