Working with transportation planners from Pond and Company and incorporating citizen feedback obtained through two public meetings, Suwanee has completed a draft of recommendations for projects and prioritization. Before finalizing the updated plan, the City is seeking citizen input and comments on the proposed projects.
They can be reviewed at www.suwanee.com and the city would like feedback by January 21. Comments should be directed to Suwanee Planning and Inspections Director Josh Campbell at [email protected] or 770/945-8996.
Projects on the list include sidewalks to fill gaps in the City's network, intersection modification along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, additional trails, and share-the-road signs and markings. The projects are prioritized with some expected to be implemented in the coming year and others scheduled out as far as 2030.
"Ultimately," says Campbell, "the goal of our updated Alternative Transportation Plan is to create better connections and move our community closer to truly being walkable and accessible to bicyclists."
One of the recommendations in the plan is for more walking trials. (Photo courtesy the City of Suwanee)
