Ronald Reagan Blvd. Extension Open House Set For Tuesday

CUMMING, GA — Residents are invited to attend a public information open house meeting to learn about plans to construct an extension to Ronald Reagan Blvd. Final construction plans for the project will be available during the informal open house from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at South Forsyth High School, 585 Peachtree Pkwy. Engineering staff will be available to answer questions.

“An informal open house of this nature is meant to inform residents and allow for more opportunities to answer individual questions concerning construction,” said Forsyth County Director of Engineering John Cunard. “We look forward to speaking with county residents and sharing the final plans.”

The proposed project consists of the design and construction of two lanes, in each direction, from Majors Rd. to McFarland Pkwy, with a 20-foot raised median, shoulders, curb and gutter, a five-foot sidewalk and a 10-foot multi-use path. The length of the proposed project is approximately 3.6 miles. Attendees are asked to enter the South Forsyth HS "West Hall" and not the main entrance for the meeting.

The Forsyth County Transportation Bond approved by voters in 2014 obligated $44 million to the project.

Written statements regarding the project will be accepted through Wednesday, Oct. 30. Written statements may be submitted to:
Ms. Denise Farr
Capital Improvement Project Manager
Forsyth County Engineering Department
110 E. Main Street, Suite 120
Cumming, Georgia 30040

Project displays used at the public information open house and the meeting transcript will be available for review until Nov. 15 at the Forsyth County Engineering Department, 110 E. Main St., Suite 120.
