Residents Asked To Weigh In On Current, Future Transportation Needs

Organizers have scheduled two additional open houses to give residents a chance to provide in put on the update to the Cherokee County Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

The first meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 at the Cherokee County Administration Building at 1130 Bluffs Parkway in Canton. The second meeting is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, June 25 at Magnolia Hall at 108 Arnold Mill Road Building C in Woodstock.

Magnolia Hall is behind the Magnolia Thomas Restaurant.

No formal presentation will be given, so residents can drop in any time to review the plans.

Every five years, Cherokee County takes a close look at the transportation needs of people who live, work and play throughout the county. This effort, funded by the Atlanta Regional Commission, will examine the many changes that have occurred in the county’s population, employment, land use and development since the adoption of the 2008 Cherokee County Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

The county will work with the public to re-evaluate the goals, visions and investment strategies spelled out in the 2008 plan. Along with an updated prioritized list of SPLOST projects and funding strategy, the updated plan will also focus on existing and future needs, and potential solutions — with a focus on innovative, cost-effective options — will also be identified.

For more information, contact Cherokee County Public Works Director and County Engineer Geoff Morton at gmorton@cherokeega.com or 678-483-6057.
