As part of the update to its Downtown Master Plan, Suwanee will host a visioning workshop at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 20, at City Hall, 330 Town Center Avenue.

Designers with TSW will draw in suggested developments on top of existing aerial photos of downtown Suwanee so that residents and planners can better visualize how development options will fit with existing uses.

About 80 people attended the public kick-off for the Downtown Master Plan update on March 5. The city shared details about the Buford Highway reconstruction project, which is expected to get underway in 2016. This ongoing downtown project will include bike lanes, wide sidewalks, on-street parking, and installation of a traffic roundabout at Russell Street to provide an entryway to historic Old Town.
