The Central DeKalb Perimeter Improvement District (PCID) announces the completion of two transportation projects designed to improve traffic flow in the Perimeter Market near I-285. In February, the PCID Board approved $268,400 in funding for the projects, located in Dunwoody and Brookhaven. Construction began in March.

“The PCIDs are thankful for the always-positive working relationships with the Cities of Dunwoody and Brookhaven. As employees re-enter the Perimeter market after so many months of working from home during COVID, they are coming back to a moe efficient experience thanks to these two intersection projects. We look forward to many more years of continued partnership," said Ann Hanlon, PCID Executive Director.

The Dunwoody project extends the westbound left-turn lane from Perimeter Center West to Perimeter Center Parkway to allow vehicles to move through the intersection more efficiently. The lane was extended by 200 feet.

“As traffic picks up in the area with more employees returning to Perimeter offices, drivers will enjoy some relief from the turn-lane bottleneck identified on Perimeter Center West during pre-COVID times,” said Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch. “We’re grateful for PCID’s teamwork and regional perspective regarding transportation challenges in the Perimeter.”

“We’re trying to plan for the future with this project,” said Hanlon. “More people will be making this left turn five years from now than there are today because of what’s happening south of this intersection. The development of State Farm, Twelve24 and the new Hyatt Place hotel create more destinations on the south side.”
