Brookhaven, Chamblee Officials Planning Future Of Clairmont Road

BROOKHAVEN, GA — An update on the Clairmont Road special area plan has been scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 14, from 6-8 pm at Brookhaven city hall, hosted by District 2 Councilman John Park and open to the public. The plan is a joint effort between Brookhaven and Chamblee and it encompasses Clairmont Road from Buford Highway to Peachtree-DeKalb Airport.

“The primary goal of this meeting is to share with the public progress-to-date on the Clairmont study,” said Park. “Since 2016, there have been multiple planning studies for the City that have recommended a vision study of the Clairmont Road corridor. The purpose of the joint study between the two cities is to create a unified and cohesive vision for Clairmont Road that meets the needs of both Brookhaven and Chamblee.”

The study has four distinct goals, according to Patrice Ruffin, Brookhaven director of community development. “We hope to create a consistent streetscape design for both cities within the corridor and improve multi-modal connectivity. Effort will also be made to leverage existing economic assets and create a vision for areas in need of redevelopment. We will also work to coordinate improvements with Chamblee that will be mutually beneficial for both municipalities.”
