   We recently moved from Atlanta, GA to Madeira. The location, schools and charming community attracted us to the area. I understand there have been public meetings regarding downtown redevelopment. From what I have read, we agree walkability and Miami Ave traffic could be improved. In Atlanta we lived in an area called Vickery Village. www.vickeryvillage.info Maybe it could be used as a reference to future planning? Another area in Atlanta that underwent a similar and successful revitalization was Duluth, GA. Duluth like Maderia is an "old railroad community" with a small downtown area with shops, local hardware and restaurants. It has turned into a destination in the area for artist, local restaurants, rooftop bars, festivals, etc. I searched Downtown Duluth GA master plan I found this site: www.tsw-design.com Sincerely, Kellye & Andrew Lowe
