Whats wrong with the Atlanta Botanical Garden building a parking facility to serve the needs of those who stage private parties and events there?
We don’t oppose their building such a facility for those purposes on land they already occupy. But the Botanical Garden’s parking deck would denude over an acre of public green space and would need a whole new road that bisects the Park. Friends of Piedmont Park supports the Botanical Garden’s original idea of building an expanded parking facility deck on the site of their existing lot, a proposal that was specifically approved by the Atlanta City Council in 2000. Such a facility would not result in the loss of more than 75 trees on a wooded hillside and could use existing roads for access. If built underground, the space currently used for parking would become available to the Botanical Garden for other uses.
