Gwinnett’s transportation problems: Speak out

By
April 15, 2016

Want to help Gwinnett County address its long-term transportation needs? You’ve got two more opportunities to speak out next week.

The county is studying ways to improve its road and transit system, as well as bike and pedestrian paths, sidewalks and other transportation modes. As part of that effort, it’s hosting a series of meetings to gather public input.

The last two meetings are coming up:

*6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday April 18 at the Dacula Park Activity Building, 2735 Old Auburn Ave., Dacula.

*6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday April 21 at One Justice Square, 446 W. Crogan St., Lawrenceville.

At previous hearings the public has weighed in on whether Gwinnett should embrace MARTA, whether it should widen certain roads and other issues.
