North Fulton Transportation Projects Made Draft List

A draft list of transportation projects - including some in North Fulton - were approved by the five-member Executive Committee of the Atlanta Regional Transportation Roundtable on Aug. 15. 

Public feedback provided the committee information on which tasks to keep and which could wait as they completed their task of narrowing a $22 billion list of projects down to $6.14 billion of projects to be potentially funded by a penny sales tax to come before voters next year.

In all, a regional list of more than 400 transportation projects was whittled down to just over 100 in two and a half months.

North Fulton projects that still remain on the list include:

-State Route 120 (Kimball Bridge Road) from State Bridge Road to Jones Bridge Road ‐ Widening

-State Route 120 (Old Milton Parkway) from SR 400 to Kimball Bridge Road ‐ Widening

-State Route 120 (Old Milton Parkway) at State Route 400 and Morris Road ‐ Interchange/Intersection Improvements

-Rucker Road from Hardscrabble Road to Willis Road ‐ Operational Improvements

-State Route 140 (Arnold Mill Road) from Cherokee County Line to Rucker Road ‐ Widening

-State Route 400 at SR 140 (Holcomb Bridge Road) ‐ Interchange Improvements

-State Route 9 (Atlanta Street) from Chattahoochee River to SR 120 (Marietta Highway) ‐ Widening and Corridor Improvements

-State Route 140 (Houze Road) from Rucker Road to Mansell Road ‐ Operational Improvements

-State Route 120 (Abbotts Bridge Road) from Parsons Road (east of SR 141) to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard ‐ Widening

The list now must be approved by the full 21-member Roundtable by October 15 and submitted to the Georgia Department of Transportation. 

In the meantime, North Fulton residents will have the opportunity to provide continued input about the final list at a public meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the North Fulton Service Center, 7741 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs.
