§410www–6 — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

Make sure rebuilding or redesigning the North Interstate 85 and Interstate 75 Expressway over Auburn and Edgewood Avenues, and the Edgewood Avenue interchange, reduces harm to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Preservation District. The Federal Highway Administration, working with the Georgia Department of Transportation, must do this. When possible, changes to the Auburn Avenue overpass should put support columns farther apart and allow the space under the bridge to be used for businesses or recreation. Any federal agency, including the National Park Service, must send plans for building, exterior work, demolition, or land-use changes in the district to the Atlanta Urban Design Commission soon enough for it to review and comment.

(a)In order to better integrate the east and west portions of the Martin Luther King, Junior, Preservation District, the Federal Highway Administration, in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Transportation, is hereby directed to insure that any design and reconstruction of the North Interstate 85 and Interstate 75 Expressway over Auburn and Edgewood Avenues in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, and the interchange at Edgewood Avenue, shall minimize the adverse impacts on the preservation district.

(b)In carrying out the provisions of this subsection, the Federal Highway Administration shall require that, where feasible, any major change required for the Auburn Avenue overpass results in a design which permits a wider distance between overpass support structures and the disposition of understructure development rights for appropriate business or recreation uses.

(c)Plans for the construction, exterior renovation, or demolition of any structure or change in land use within the preservation district by the National Park Service or any Federal agency must be submitted to the Atlanta Urban Design Commission in a timely fashion for its review and comment.
