Meeting on Austell Road design guidelines set

The second community meeting on the Austell Road Design Guidelines will be 6:30-8 p.m. Sept. 28 at WellStar Cobb Hospital, 3950 Austell Road, Austell.

These design guidelines by Cobb County government will address streetscapes, pedestrian access, signage and other elements that will enhance the character of Austell Road. Cobb residents are asked to provide their input regarding concerns, vision and goals to make a strategy for the community that is “accessible, pedestrian friendly and sustainable,” according to a county statement.

Cobb County already has design guidelines established on Atlanta Road, Canton Road, Dallas Highway and Macland Road. County staff recently completed draft design guidelines along Mableton Parkway and Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton.
