Peachtree Corners civic leaders and residents recently gathered along a newly completed section of sidewalks on Winters Chapel Road to celebrate the completion of the Gwinnett SPLOST project.
The half mile of new sidewalk that runs along Winters Chapel Road from Newton Drive to Spalding Glen Drive now completes a project designed to provide a continuous end-to-end sidewalk from Winters Chapel Road at Spalding Drive to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. The area was previously un-accessible to pedestrians due to the dense trees that grew almost to the edge of the road.
“When Peachtree Corners became a city in 2012, Winters Chapel Road had very few sidewalks to support its 13 residential communities,” said Peachtree Corners Councilmember Phil Sadd. “On average, over 15,000 vehicles travel on this road each day, and it was not a safe place to walk. We are delighted to be able to celebrate the completion of the project.”
The project had been on a list of recommended projects presented by Gwinnett’s 2014 SPLOST Citizens Review Committee.
