Dunwoody Celebrates Mile 5 of Sidewalk Construction

Work continues on several critical sidewalk projects as part of the city’s sidewalk improvement plan.

The city has identified over 21 miles of future sidewalk improvements and 87 future ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. 

An announcement said that following the completion of this year’s sidewalk construction, the city will have invested nearly $1 million and completed roughly 5.4 miles of new sidewalk infrastructure since 2009. This has been accomplished in a relatively short timeframe with no tax increases and no need to borrow money, a city statement said.

The city continues its commitment to maintain and improve its roads by investing over $2 million in paving this year, which is more than 40 percent of the city’s entire 2013 capital budget.  Since 2009, including this year’s investments, the city has spent more than $6.5 million paving the city’s estimated 306 total lane miles of roads in Dunwoody.

Dunwoody has paved more than 50 lane miles of roads and fixed 1,100 potholes on city streets all within the 13.2 total square miles of the city’s boundaries.
