Suwanee will host a community open house next week to share the final draft of its Buford Highway Transportation Plan.
Over the past eight months, city leaders have worked with URS Corp., an engineering and construction firm, to develop alternatives for Buford Highway from McGinnis Ferry Road to the entrance of George Pierce Park.
The plan envisions the highway as a pedestrian-friendly, two-lane local route. It would have bike lanes, sidewalks, on-street parking, landscaped medians, additional turn lanes and signal controls.
The city hopes the route would enhance the connection between historic Old Town and Town Center and help preserve the roadway’s tree canopy.
The open house will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday at City Hall. The City Council is expected to consider the plan at its April 27 meeting.
