City Steps into the Future with Opening of Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners
Every day we read of new technologies being developed that will change the way we live, the way we drive and commute.
We hear of the need for cities to create infrastructure that will accommodate this world-changing technology, but we are years away from experiencing a future that has us living like the Jetsons, the cartoon show of the 1960s. Before any of us experience this futuristic world, a myriad of testing of new technologies must take place.

Posting Political Signs and Other Signage in Right of Way is Illegal
As elections draw near, please be aware it’s illegal to post signs in the public right of way. To determine public right of way, a rule of thumb is to identify the area between the edge of the street and utility poles.
Prohibited Signs • Signs placed in street right of ways, in medians, or on any public property, such as a park, library, post office, etc. • Signs attached to traffic control devices such as speed limit or stop signs, portable trailer, curb or A-frame type signs and streamers. • Roof signs • Moving signs • Signs placed on private property without the owner’s permission. This is not the sign ordinance in its entirety. If you have questions, contact the Code Enforcement Department at 678-691-1200.
