The city of Decatur recently launched a new website for its residents to stay on top of the latest in infrastructure, streetscapes and development.

Dubbed "Extreme Makeover: Downtown Decatur Edition," the website decaturmakeover.com aims to "help keep inconvenience to a minumum" for its residents.

According to the site, "there's going to be a lot going on in the coming months and, let's be honest, it's going to get messy."

The site provides a map of ongoing projects, status updates and the choice to sign up for email and social media alerts.

So far, the map shows several new anticipated crosswalks, two proposed mixed-use developments and more.

Visit decaturmakeover.com for more. And come back to AJC.com for updates on the mixed-use developments coming soon to Decatur.
