Cobb DOT will be holding an open house next week for citizens to learn about proposed improvements at Shallowford Road and Gordy Parkway West.

The open house takes place Wednesday, Oct. 18 from 6-8 p.m. at the Mountain View Regional Library (3320 Sandy Plains Road) and will be conducted on a drop-in basis.

There will be no formal presentation but project displays will be available and citizens are invited to ask questions and provide feedback.

Here’s a Cobb DOT fact sheet about the project, which costs an estimated $600,000 and would include the following:

  • Shifting the left turn lane on northbound Gordy Parkway to improve sight for turning
  • Adding a fourth crosswalk on the west leg for pedestrians
  • Shifting the right turn lane on northbound Gordy Parkway to improve pedestrian visibility.

Seeking public comment is the first phase of the project, which has a tentative timetable of completion by fall 2025.

  1. I use this corner to avoid the left turn from Sandy Plains onto Shallowford a few times a week. It is a nice little “cutoff” behind all the traffic.

    The right turn lane onto Shallowford is nearly blind if there are pedestrians there. Cutting back the corner bushes would go a long way to making it safer.

    The left and center lanes could be longer, but I wouldn’t want to spend more than $5000 for any corrections. There are many worse areas that could use help.

    Unless they would put in a 2 lane roundabout. THAT would be progress. We could use a 2 lane roundabout at the Sandy Plains and Post Oak Tritt corner too. Those green lights for Sandy Plains are far too long and the Post Oak Tritt lights are always too short. Always.

  2. Is there a high number of accidents on this road? I can’t see any other justification for wasting so much money on this. Fix the current roads before you decide to tear this one apart!
