Evermore CID and Gwinnett County
Champion SPLOST for Sidewalks
Pedestrian
improvements coming soon to Park Place area
 The
Evermore Community Improvement District (CID) and Gwinnett County
have collaborated to move forward with sidewalk improvements for
Park Place. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners agreed
unanimously to support the proposed community revitalization
project.
In addition to the Park Place Community Association’s
formation, this project is another tangible result of the Evermore
CID’s Park Place Activity Center Study completed earlier this year.
Area residents who participated in the study’s focus groups
identified sidewalks throughout the Park Place community as an
enhancement with significant appeal.
Project construction is set to begin in early 2008.
Upon completion, the project will connect new sidewalks to existing
sidewalks along West and East Park Place Boulevard from Bermuda Road
to Eastford Trace, and Rockbridge Road from Pounds Road to East Park
Place Boulevard. The project also includes pedestrian signals at
crossings to improve safety for pedestrian travelers.
Evermore CID Executive Director Brett Harrell is
pleased with the rapid implementation of improvements identified in
the study saying, “this project not only enhances the Evermore
Community, but will also improve safety and mobility within the Park
Place Activity Center study area”.
The project is ultimately the result of a partnership
between the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Evermore CID and
the Park Place Community Association, with funding provided by
Gwinnett County SPLOST. Gwinnett County
Commissioner Mike Beaudreau comments that “this is one of the
first visible signs of the hard work that the newly formed Park
Place Community Association has achieved by working with the
Evermore CID and my office. I am proud of the progress that we have
made as a team”.
