Last Mile Connectivity Open House Scheduled For Jan. 26

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The cities of Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, and Dunwoody and the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (PCIDs) have partnered to conduct a study related to Last Mile Connectivity in and around the Perimeter area.

These entities will host a public information open house to provide the community with information about the draft recommendations and solicit input from participants. The open house will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26 at the Northpark 400 Town Center Office Complex.

The organizations will host identical presentations at 6:15, 6:45, and 7:15 p.m. Maps, study recommendations, and other materials will be on display, with staff members available to answer questions and take in feedback.

Last Mile Connectivity addresses the connections between transit stops and stations or hubs, and final destinations such as residences, offices and retail areas. It also addresses multimodal connections within and between activity centers including Perimeter Center, providing people choices other than the automobile for shorter trips, or to connect longer trips.

The study is intended to provide a clear vision for future multi-modal transportation needs in the Perimeter market.

It will include a consolidated program of investments in bicycle, pedestrian, trail, and roadway facilities, and an exploration of existing and future transit opportunities. The goal is to offer a network of safe, easy, and convenient opportunities for people to walk, bike, or take transit within the Perimeter area.

The presentations will be held in the Georgia Conference Room-Suite 335 at 1000 Abernathy Road in Sandy Springs.
