PROJECT UPDATES AND MORE

Repairs and Upgrades throughout the District

Recently we've been focusing on repairs throughout the district to positively impact the area aesthetically and functionally.  Here are a few examples:

• Repaired 300 linear feet of handrail along Jimmy Carter Boulevard       
• Repaired sections of damaged sidewalk and upgraded them for ADA compliance 
• Completed a large section of new sidewalk on Brook Hollow Parkway connecting N. Norcross Tucker Rd. to Jimmy Carter Blvd.
• Corrected drainage issues along stretches of sidewalk, eliminating pooling of water, thereby preventing slip hazards

See examples below:

Before and After - Handrail repair along Jimmy Carter Blvd.
