The city of Roswell will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony next week to celebrate the completion of the Eves Road Complete Street Project, an initiative that improves access and mobility on Eves Road for all user.

The ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 28 at the parking lot off the new access road that now connects Eves Road to East Roswell Park.

The project has upgraded the thoroughfare between Holcomb Bridge Road and Riverside Road to a “complete street,” including on-street bicycle lanes, a multi-use path, upgraded sidewalks and a new access driveway to East Roswell Park.

The project also improved stormwater management, upgraded the parking area near the park on Eves Road and created new pedestrian crosswalks at several points along the roadway.

The project was designed by Pond Company and constructed by Vertical Earth, Inc. The total cost for this project is $2.1 million, of which just over $200,000 was funded by Roswell capital funds and $1.9 million by Roswell’s November 2012 bond referendum.

In the event of inclement weather, the ribbon-cutting will be rescheduled.
