SUWANEE - What might the Buford Highway/Russell Road intersection of the future look like? How might Old Town residents enjoy easier access to the Suwanee Creek Greenway and other parks and open spaces? How can commercial and residential uses in the Old Town area be expanded?
The initial answers to these and other questions will be offered at the February 10 Downtown Master Plan meeting. The public is invited to provide feedback on the initial downtown concept plan to be presented during the 6:30 p.m. meeting at the Suwanee Crossroads Center, 323 Buford Highway.
This will be the first public glimpse of the new streets, greenways, open space, and future mixed uses proposed through the ongoing Suwanee Downtown Master Plan. Interactive stations will be set up to allow participants to provide feedback on various segments of the plan. This feedback will be used to shape the final Downtown Master Plan, which will be presented in April.
A 14-member citizen-based steering committee and other interested residents who've attended previous meetings have worked with a planning consultant team led by Ecos Environmental Design of Atlanta to shape Suwanee's new Downtown Master Plan thus far.
This plan will be an update of the 2001 Old Town Master Plan, which resulted in creation of Town Center and implementation of infill residential districts and the Old Town overlay district.
