What is the North-South Connectivity Study?
During the public input meetings for the Transportation Master Plan Meetings in 2018 and 2019, citizen cited concerns about congestion, speeding, and safety along north/south streets connecting US 78 / Lawrenceville Hwy / Lavista Rd
- Montreal Road
- Cooledge Road
- Brockett Road
- Idlewood Road
- Fellowship Road
As a result of these concerns, a study was proposed in the Transportation Master Plan to study these north/south collector streets.
Kimley Horn has submitted a proposal to evaluate Operation & Safety needs along these streets. Their scope of work will include gathering traffic counts and accident data, reviewing transit connections, conducting capacity analysis, holding 3 neighborhood meetings, developing a concept, calculating construction cost estimates and right-of-way impacts, and proposing project prioritization. Recommendations may include left turn lanes, deceleration lanes, roundabouts, traffic signal improvements, pavement marking modifications, and/or traffic calming measures. Bike and Pedestrian improvements will be considered to provide connectivity to main roads, destinations, transit, and the city’ current and future sidewalk and trail network.
