Chestnut Street parking plan suggests center two rows
An Atlantic business man proposes parking all cars along Chestnut Street in the center two rows deep from Second Street to the courthouse. He argues the layout would handle about five hundred vehicles, keep business access open, and allow delivery by farmers to the curb before drivers move on. The plan would leave about twenty feet of driveway space on both sides of the center parked cars and is being forwarded to city officials to address Chestnut Street congestion.
