Residents along Jones Road, from Bowen Road to Woodstock Road, have expressed concerns about speeding issues and traffic volume along this corridor. Roswell’s transportation deparment has developed a concept design for a “complete street,” which, according to the city, will maintain traffic flow while also accommodating the safety needs of all users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

Similar to Roswell’s complete street project on Eves Road, the Jones Road project incorporates 4-foot-wide bike lanes eastbound and westbound, sidewalks on one side of the street, and a multi-use trail on the other side. The multi-use trail is part of the Roswell Loop, connecting Leita Thompson Park to Roswell Area Park.

The concept will also include improvements to reduce driver speeds, improve sight distance access on side streets and driveways, and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety. In addition, the concept will also address requirements of Fire Station No. 3, which is located at the corner of Jones Road and Lake Charles Drive.
