Boggs Director of Housing Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Boggs: SUBJECT: Pedestrian Bridge across Proctor Creek from Perry Homes to' Gun Club Park. · You may recall that last year I wrote Mr. Earl Metzger regarding the desperate need for a footbridge across Proctor Creek from Perry Homes to the Northeast corner of Gun Club Park. At that time, the estimated cost of a footbridge was between $10,000 and $15,000. Since our property line is on our side of the creek and the creek itself lies within the boundaries of the Perry Homes property, we asked that Atlanta Housing Authority consider undertaking the construction of this bridge to provide ingress to the park for the children in the eastern section of Perry Homes. My letter waa referred to you end yo ur reply , deted October 2 8 , 1 966 , wa s that the po ssibi lity of construction of "the footbridge to serve the park" would not be feasible from the Atlanta Housing Authority's standpoint becau s e y o u did not have the necessary $10,000 to $15,000 nor did y ou h a v e the authority from the Federal a gency whi ch mu s t approve t h is type of expend itu re . You f u rth er st ated that you did not believe it would be considered en eligible cost . We would would whole would f i rst l i ke t o point out that this footbridge not serve the park. Ont.he contrary, the footbriq.ge serve the people of Perry Homes. In fact, our purpose in acquiring and developing the 42-acre Gun KERO ·,- - . . . . - - . - - - - - -,!""I COPY ....- -- --,_,...--.- - - ,-,,_,,.~ �.. . . • ,. . • I I .• Mr. Boggs Page Two July 20, 1967 Club Park is to provide facilities for the more more than 3200 children isolated for so long in desperately needed recreation than one thousand families and and teenagers who have been the Perry Hornes Housing Project ·. We are aware of the new installation of culverts and the extension of the roadway from Perry Hornes across Proctor Creek providing access to the site of your new 140-unit addition to the Project. However, this is a considerable distance from the proposed location of the footbridge1 and the families who live in the eastern section of Perry Homes would face a quite lengthy hike to make their way west to the existing crossing and back through the new section of Perry Hornes to the Park. As a matter of fact, many children in the eastern extremity will be able to stand in their yards and see the ball diamonds across the creek • .We are convinced that a constant hazard will exist as these children attempt to ford Proctor Creek and make their own shortcut to the lower level of the Park. We feel very strongly that this type of situation should be eliminated and we feel that the Atlanta Housing Authority should accept the responsibility. Realizing that it would not be feasible for you to spend $10,000 to $15,000 for this purpose, we have taken it upon ourselves to explore the possibility of constructing a safe and permanent footbridge at a more feasible cost. Mr. Charles G. Devon, Assi~tant Parks Engineer, has developed a plan for a bridge constructed of precastprestressed concrete with hand rails and concrete footings that would cost less than $1500 in place. Further, we are prepared to offer our technical assistance and labor to supervise and assist in the construction of the bridge. Enclosed is a proposal from Concrete Materials of Georgia, Inc., for the main bridge structure, including its erection, in the amount of $1,067.53. This does not include the hand rails or the footings for which we would provide the labor and the materials are estimated to be approximately $400. Also enclosed is a drawing showing details of the plan. In light of this new cost estimate, perhaps you will reconsider the possibi ,lity of the Housing Authority funding this bridge. We have recently completed the first phase d evelopment of Gun Club Park at a cost of $83,541. We have signed the contract for $52,206 for the second phase development , which will include the ball diamonds on thelower end of the property adjacent to Proctor Creek, and the contractor is expected IXER'"oi ....

First of all, the City has formerly committed itself to purchase of park site North of the expressway in the West End Urban Renewal Area; a park site adjacent to the W. C. Hills School in Bedford- Pine Urban Renewal Area; a park site in the Western portion of the Rawson-Washington Urban Renewal Area; and, a park site in the Rockdale Urban Renewal project. Our best information from the City Comptroller is that these park sites must be purchased and are part of the overall Urban Renewal projects for the respective areas of the City. The rather limited funds that are left after the purchase of these properties have been very carefully allocated to a number of urgent projects on the southside, westside, and northeast side of our City. The suggested priority list of projects has been submitted to the Park Committee of the Board of Aldermen and, through the City Comptroller to the Finance Committee of the Board of Aldermen. We expect to have a called meeting of the Parks Committee in a few days after the members have had time to review and digest the project list. Regarding your request to meet with me on Tuesday, July 25, I would certainly be glad to meet with you but I think it would be best for you to discuss your requests with the Parks Committee of the Board of Aldermen since they have the final say-so on priorities, etc., pertaining to Park and Recreation facilities.

As you have surmised, we would be interested in seeing any improvement in downtown Atlanta, especially improvement directly adjacent to our property. As you no doubt have observed, we are planning a very substantial facility that will provide outstanding terminal facilities to accomodate traffic in both the passenger and package express fields. This facility certainly should enable us to service the City of Atlanta in an exemplary manner.

It would appear that the suggested figure of $30,000 f o r our company is somewhat out of line if one used a measure of total revenue generated on an annual bas is , or if one used a measure of total capital investment in facilities . We believe that $10,000 would represent a most substantial contribution on our part and we know this figure represent s a substantial percentage of our capital investment and anticipated annual revenue. I would be interested to know y our reaction. I know that our objectives are the same. As you can understand , un like many other ma jor transportation businesses, we make all of ou r capital investments and pay ta xe s on all of our improvements .

Text Any textual data included in the document December 19, 1966 Mr. Maurice Moore President Continental Trailways 315 Continental Avenue Dallas, Texas Dear Mr. Moore: I believe our mutual friend, John Portman, has mentioned to you and your associates the opportunity to improve materially the value of your property at Spring and Cain Streets in downztown Atlanta. You are no doubt familiar with the Httle triangular shaped piece of property immediately south of your own site. This triangle is bound by Spring Street, Cain Street and Carnegie Way. Today it is an unsightly collection of three small buildings. With cooperation by nearby property owners, the City of Atlanta and the new federal beautification funds, this tract can become a lovely park. Other property owners who, like Trailways, would benefit fram the project have agreed to contribute a total of $101,000. These include $46, 900 from Rey Livingston, one of the owners of the American Motor Hotel, $25, 000 from the American Motor Hotel itself, $20, 000 from Davison's and $10, 000 from Mr. Portman. In order to proceed with the application for federal matching funds, another $30,000 is needed. It seems to me that Trailways is bound te be a principal beneficiary of this project which will be across Cain Street from your own property. I wonder, therefore, if you and your associates would give serious consideration to making a tax-free contribution in this amount to the City of Atlenta, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter.

DEPUTY COMPTROLLER Honorable Rodney M. Cook 34 Tenth Street, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Dear Rodney: I am enclosing a copy of a letter I wrote Mr. Jack Delius relating to the ugly triangle at the corner of Cain and Spring streets. In my letter to Mr. Delius I omitted citing the Portman donation of $10,000. We now have firm coumitments from the following parties; Portman $10,000 Livingston 47,500 Trailways 10,000 Mr. Jesse Draper 5,000 Dr. Marvin Goldstein 20,000 $92,500 === You will note in my letter to Mr. Delius that I suggested we go ahead and process an application to the federal government for matching funds to acquire the pro- perties involved in the proposed park site. I am also enclosing copies of budgets showing what funds would be needed just for acquisition purposes and the suggested contributions by the various parties which would generate sufficient funds for development purposes if fifty percent federal aid was made available for that pur- pose. At the moment it appears that we would need approximately $40,000 more in con- tributions to make up the local share to acquire the land, These figures are based on early 1965 appraisals only provided for ten pereent contin- gencies. 1 am of the opinion that the land would have to be reappraised inasmuch as there has been approximately eighteen months since the appraisals were wade, This in turn could increase the project cost which would in turn increase the local share cost. 1 feel sure that with $92,500 at the moment the City is in @ position te move for- ward with the acquisition. It is hoped that the contributions from Davison's and Greyhound will be sufficient enough to cover the remainder of the local share cost for acquisition purposes. i 8 j Honorable Rodney M. Cook Page 2 August 11, 1967 I have had a couple of people discuss with me the possibility of soliciting the development funds from the Baptist who now operate the Peachtree on Peachtree Hotel, the Atlanta Athletic Club, Georgia Power, and several other concerns in the area. I have also been informed that there is a possibility that Mr. Portman would design the park on a no-fee basis which would also contribute to the local share cost of the project. If I can help in any way in soliciting funds from either Davison'’s or Greyhound so that we might conclude the land acquisition phase of this project, please advise as to what part you would like me to play in dealing with these two concerns.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Delius: My good friend, Mrs. Pat Royalty, has told me that you may possibly lose the use of the Crew Street - Haygeod Street lot as a play- ground. This reminded me that I have been meaning to call you and offer the use of the four lots, approximately 180' frontage on Washington Street near Ormond Street, that we own. We have demolished the houses and though it isn't perfectly level, most of the fall-off is towards the very rear. As I understand it from Mrs. Royalty, these childern will not use facilities more than several blocks away. Therefore, there may be a good many in this immediate area that would use a small but convenient playground. We, of course, also have those large parking lots east of Washington Street and north of the Cancer Home, including the 200° by 200' north of Bass Street where we also park cars for the Stadium crowds. These are now being used in an informal, unofficial way by a number of childern, and we are delighted. However, if these toocould be employed in a more efficient manner to benefit the neighborhood, please let us know. — We ourselves plan no improvements in the way of building on any of these lots for the next few years, and so you could count on their continued use for a werthwhile period of time. This is particularly true of the four lots near Ormond Street. It is probable that we will arrange a service station sale or something similar on the 200' north of Bass Street sometime in the future, but even there, I believe it will stay as is for at least two or three years.
