While the impending construction of a new $1 billion retractable roof stadium for the Atlanta Falcons headlines the revitalization plan for the Northside Drive corridor, Professor of Practice Michael Dobbins believes it signals just the start of development in the area. Dobbins contends that the corridor possesses the potential to become a "well-lighted, tree-lined boulevard" that could provide new opportunities for the neglected Westside neighborhood that sits in the shadow of the current Falcons stadium.
