Here’s a well known secret: You cannot enjoy Lake Lanier if you cannot get to Lake Lanier.
State Route 20 is one of the primary highways used by our friends to the west of the lake. This vital roadway varies from two-lanes to three-lanes to a four-lane divided highway at various points.
SR-20 has exceeded its capacity and multiple improvements are needed in Cherokee and Forsyth counties. Traffic jams are common and frustrating.
If you have an opinion you’d like to share with GA’s Department of Transportation (GDOT) about potential improvements to State Route 20 — from I-575 in Canton to State Route 400 in Cumming to improve mobility, reduce congestion and address safety — you are invited to share them at two public meetings in December.
Public meetings were held in May 2013 where citizens were given a similar opportunity to let their thoughts be known about the congestion on Route 20. The meetings on December 10 & 12, 2013 will again provide an opportunity to comment on initial alternatives and learn more about the next steps of the SR 20 project.
Please Note: There will be no formal presentations at these open house meetings. GDOT staff will be available to discuss the project as they seek feedback on the potential solutions for the corridor. Identical information will be presented at each meeting.
