Woodstock To Consider Purchasing Ridgewalk Streetlights

The Woodstock City Council during its meeting on Monday will consider purchasing streetlights for the fourth phase of the Ridgewalk Parkway widening project.

Tonight’s meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Chambers at City Center.

The city will purchase the streetlights and will be reimbursed by the developer, which is anticipated to be “immediate.”

The latest leg of the roughly $1 million widening project will be funded by Northpoint Ministries, which is building a facility along Ridgewalk Parkway east of the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta. That stipulation was was part of a condition of zoning imposed in 2008 when Wood Partners proposed building an apartment complex on the same site.

Ridgewalk Parkway will be widened from Ridge Trail to Main Street, tying into the widening already done along Ridgewalk Parkway from the entrance to the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta to Ridge Trail.
