Douglas County seeks public response to transportation survey

A survey is available to Douglas County residents and employees about the county’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP).

As the 2050 update, the plan will guide major long-term transportation investments in the county.

The survey is expected to take five to 10 minutes to complete.

Among the nearly 20 transportation challenges and opportunities listed in the survey are:

construct new roadways, where needed, to improve connectivity
widen major roadway corridors
improve key intersections, adding turn lanes and traffic signals when warranted
road maintenance - resurfacing, striping, signage
beautification of existing roads such as improved landscaping, decorative mast arms/light poles or underground utilities
make roadways safer
add more sidewalks
add more bicycle lanes, multi-use trails and other bike facilities
add street lighting
new bus service
add more transit amenities such as improved pedestrian connectivity to bus stops (sidewalks, crosswalks, etc.), improved bus stops and bus shelters
better access to commuter bus service to the Atlanta area
minimize conflicts between heavy truck and personal vehicles
minimize conflicts between freight trains and roadways
maintain the character of rural roadways and neighborhoods
transportation projects that promote economic development
maximize the use of emerging technologies (for example, electric vehicle charging stations and intelligent transportation systems integration)
preserve the environment
