Public Information Open House on Mt. Vernon Rd. & Vermack Road/Manhasset Drive Intersection: The City of Dunwoody is interested in hearing input and feedback on future plans and project improvements which enhance the quality of life for everyone within our City. We invite you to join us for a Public Information Open House meeting concerning the intersection at Mt. Vernon Rd. and Vermack Rd/Manhasset Drive. The meeting will be held at St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church on Monday, June 17 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This intersection has been identified in the City of Dunwoody’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a high priority project due to its current poor level of service. Mount Vernon Road is one of the primary east-west corridors in the City and Vermack Road provides access to Dunwoody High School and Vanderlyn Elementary School. The current intersection is signalized but lacks turn lanes, causing longer traffic queues and wait times, and remains deficient in accommodating safe use by pedestrians and bicyclists.
The City is currently in the early planning stages/data-gathering phase during which public input, land survey and traffic counts are obtained to best determine appropriate engineering improvements for the intersection. The City seeks to gain public feedback and insight into the surrounding context and identify specific challenges or concerns with the intersection. Public input will assist the City in fine tuning potential approaches and solutions.
