Brookhaven hosting public input meeting for Dresden Drive improvements

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brookhaven, GA, July 1, 2021 – The City of Brookhaven is undertaking an operational and safety analysis for three intersections on Dresden Drive - Apple Valley Road, Ellijay Drive/Caldwell Road, and Clairmont Road.  The purpose of the study is to identify improvements to help serve projected vehicular traffic while providing safe and comfortable facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users.

The primary objectives of the study are to:

• Evaluate existing and forecast future traffic based on known and planned developments in the area
• Evaluate existing conditions, signals, and pedestrian facilities for safety and efficiency
• Recommend intersection improvements for optimal traffic movement
• Provide recommendations for additional or revised traffic calming measures in the neighborhoods north and south of Dresden Drive accessed from the Caldwell Road/Ellijay Drive intersection based on an evaluation of future traffic impacts

The City is hosting a virtual public forum via Zoom on Tuesday, July 13, at 7 p.m. to provide an overview of the study, present findings from the existing conditions analysis, and solicit input from the community about their concerns with the study intersections and priorities for improvements.
