The City Council of Atlanta approved an ordinance to waive the sidewalk construction requirements for subdivision SD-24-001 at 943 Rice Street NW. Instead of constructing sidewalks at the subdivision site, the developer, Jim Parker of AJP-Investments, LLC, is required to construct approximately 800 linear feet of sidewalks off-site. These new sidewalks will be built on the south side of Niles Avenue NW, between Tilden Street NW and Longley Avenue NW, and on the east side of Tilden Street NW, between Niles Avenue NW and Baylor Street NW. The waiver is conditioned upon the construction and city acceptance of these alternative sidewalks prior to the approval of the final subdivision plat. This alternative construction aims to better serve the community in areas currently lacking sidewalks.
