City Of Dunwoody: Dunwoody Shares Plan For New Peeler Road Path

Press release from the City of Dunwoody:

Dunwoody, GA – February 17, 2022 – Dunwoody Public Works proposes installing a new shared-use path along the northern side of Peeler Road to connect Windwood Hollow Park and neighborhoods along Peeler Road with the restaurants and other businesses on Winters Chapel Road. The project would provide a 12-foot wide concrete path for cyclists and pedestrians separated from the roadway by a landscaped buffer.

“This project aligns with Dunwoody’s Transportation Plan, which recommends pedestrian and bicycle improvements on Peeler Road between Winters Chapel Road and Windwood Hollow Park,” said Dunwoody Public Works Director Michael Smith. “This is part of a larger system of paths that would eventually connect to Brook Run Park and the Winters Chapel Multiuse Path, which is beginning construction this year.”

The north side of Peeler Road in this area currently does not have sidewalks, but the addition of the path would make both sides of the road fully accessible for pedestrians.   Dunwoody has more than three miles of pathway under development, which will double the length of paths in the city when completed. The project would be funded through the city’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The estimated construction cost for this concept is $1.6 million.

More details and a conceptual plan can be found on the project page on the City’s website. Feedback on the plan is encouraged using the survey link posted on the site. The deadline for comments is March 18.
