The Norcross City Council recently approved the next steps toward a renovation of the North Peachtree Street sidewalk. The city will be seeking proposals for civil and landscape architecture design and construction. The project addresses the sidewalk along the curve of North Peachtree Street south of Chastain Manor Drive.

This renovation will address pedestrian and vehicular safety concerns related to steep slopes and roadside erosion. The project is expected to evaluate various materials including granite, modular block and field stone to coordinate with existing field stone. Special Local Option Sales Tax funds will pay for the project.
