Thoughts On Forsyth County Traffic? Share Them Now

CUMMING, GA — Forsyth County officials are asking for the public's input as they wrap up long-range planning to address transportation issues in the county.

Forsyth is nearing the end of updating its comprehensive transportation plan, a guiding document that outlines the long-range vision for transportation in the county. The Forsyth Transportation Plan update examines changes that have happened in the county’s population, employment, land use and development since the last plan, in 2011.

Updated every five years, the plan looks at the transportation needs of people who live, work and play throughout the county and will result in projects to address vehicle, freight, bicycle and pedestrian needs.

The project team has launched an online survey to get input from the public on potential solutions and projects. The community is encouraged to visit the project website to participate in the survey. It will be available through Friday, Dec. 8.

In addition to the online survey, the county is hosting several open house sessions in November and December. The public is invited to attend any of the open houses. They are scheduled for:

Tuesday, Nov. 28
Lambert High School, Cafeteria
805 Nichols Rd.

Thursday, Nov. 30
West Forsyth High School, Cafeteria
4155 Drew Rd.

Thursday, Dec. 7
Hampton Park Library, Meeting Room
5345 Settingdown Rd.

There will be no formal presentation at the open houses and the same information will be displayed at each
session. Attendees may drop in any time between 6-8 p.m.

Those who cannot attend the open house sessions are encouraged to view the display materials and to participate in the online survey, both available on the project website.
