Peachtree Corners leaders, seeking to re-energize the Holcomb Bridge corridor, have announced four planning and design firms have submitted proposals to study the area. The selected firm will identify types of commercial uses, types and locations for mixed-use developments, pedestrian pathways, landscaping, street furniture, and other focal point features.

“The road now is full of fast- moving traffic and not particularly pedestrian friendly. We want to focus our attention on finding ways to re-connect the community,” said Mayor Mike Mason.

The area includes Holcomb Bridge Road between the Chattahoochee River and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and includes both sides of Peachtree Corners Circle between Holcomb Bridge and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. After public input, the city expects the study to conclude by next summer.
