Riverside Road Traffic Situation
The developer of Roswell East is proposing 2,975 new household units (over 7,000 residents), plus 950,000 sq ft of new office/commercial/retail. There has been discussion about effects on Holcomb Bridge traffic, but residents of the area are increasingly asking about the effects on traffic in the Riverside Road corridor which is closer to much of the development than Holcomb Bridge.
The questions are related to the traffic in construction materials and equipment during the ~12 year construction phase, as well as the traffic generated by the new residents, workers, and customers at the site once it is built.
Some of these questions have been in the form of letters to the editor of various local newspapers. The residents are asking for information about what what traffic studies, if any, have been completed on this specific corridor, and what plans, if any, the developer has to prevent this corridor from getting worse as a result of the added density in the rezoning he is asking Roswell for.
Here are pictures of the areas under discussion, each with a map showing its location so that interested parties can get a point of reference for what these residents are asking about.
