Making Our City More Walkable and More Connected
When Peachtree Corners first became a city, one of the first projects the council and I wanted to address was making our city more pedestrian friendly and connected.
I’m happy to report that in our short seven years as a city, seven miles of sidewalks, three pedestrian safety crossings and 175 street lights have been added, all designed to make our city more walkable, safer and more connected.
