DeKalb begins streetscapes in Conley

The Conley business area – a section of Atlanta in DeKalb County that includes the Cedar Grove Neighborhood – is getting a makeover to its roadways.

DeKalb’s “Gateway Streetscape” project calls for improved landscaping along a 2.2-mile stretch of Moreland Avenue at I-285. Trees and new plants are planned for the landscape, for both safety and beautification purposes.

The county is using state funds to pay for the work.
