SUWANEE - The City of Suwanee will host a community open house Thursday in order to share the final draft of the Buford Highway Transportation Plan. The open house will be from 6:30-8 p.m. in the lobby of City Hall.
Over the past eight months, the City of Suwanee has worked with URS Corporation to study and develop alternatives for Buford Highway, from McGinnis Ferry Road to the entrance of George Pierce Park.
The plan examined two alternatives. One alternative is to add lane capacity to Buford Highway and redesign it to serve primarily regional vehicular traffic.
However, the recommended multi-modal alternative envisions the roadway as a two-lane local route that is context-sensitive and pedestrian-friendly. This multi-modal alternative, designed to meet both mobility and community needs, includes bike lanes, sidewalks, on-street parking, landscaped medians, and additional turn lanes and signal controls. It also enhances the connection between historic Old Town and Town Center and recommends preservation of the roadwayâ
