Pleasant Hill Road Streetscape Projects
The Georgia Department of Transportation provided Transportation Enhancement (TE) grant funds in response to applications submitted by the CID. Along with Gwinnett County and CID funds, four phases of streetscape improvement projects have been constructed along portions of Pleasant Hill Road from Satellite Boulevard to Club Drive. New LED streetlights were installed recently from Breckinridge Boulevard to Club Drive and along along Shackleford Road. Engineering and construction plans have been developed for the remaining portions of Pleasant Hill Road from Club Drive to Old Norcross Road.
On September 4, 2018, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners awarded a contract to CMES, Inc. to install landscaping, curb and gutter, benches, trash receptacles and accompanying drainage structures. Ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act will also be a part of the project, which is about 1.15 miles long. With funding from Gwinnett County and the CID, construction of the final phases began January 2, 2019. Any lane closures will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The project is to be completed in 6 months. Completion time will be contingent upon actual weather conditions, utility conflicts encountered, etc. which may shorten or lengthen the project construction time. All work will accomplished within the Gwinnett County and/or State of Georgia Right of Way or acquired easements.

Satellite Boulevard Streetscape Projects
Two phases of the Satellite Boulevard streetscape project have been completed using Transportation Enhancement (TE) grant funds. Phase one enhanced the streetscape from the Gwinnett County Transit Center to Tandy Key Lane, and phase two enhanced Pleasant Hill Road to Old Norcross Road. Phase Two from Pleasant Hill Road to Old Norcross Road was completed during summer 2017. New LED streetlights were recently installed along Satellite Boulevard from Steve Reynolds Boulevard to Pleasant Hill Road, and also along portions of Pleasant Hill Road and Steve Reynolds Boulevard. Preliminary engineering and streetscape construction plans have been developed for the remaining portions of Satellite Boulevard, from Old Norcross Road to Steve Reynolds Boulevard.

Connectivity between McDaniel Farm and Shorty Howell Park
In order to achieve greater walkability in the district, Gwinnett Place CID envisions a strategy for connecting residential, commercial and recreational destinations in the greater Gwinnett Place area. The Gwinnett Place CID has proposed a network of trails to increase walkability and improve the pedestrian experience in the immediate Gwinnett Place area and also complete a section of the Gwinnett County’s Greenway system. By creating safer, more scenic and direct pedestrian routes, along with providing added transportation options to reduce vehicular traffic, these trails can help spark redevelopment in Gwinnett Place.
The project goals for connecting the Gwinnett Place commercial area to McDaniel Farm and Shorty Howell Park are to:
- Increase walkability between key residential, commercial and recreational destinations, to spur redevelopment in the Gwinnett Place area
- Connect Gwinnett Place to the larger network of Gwinnett County greenways and open space, to provide alternative transportation options to destinations throughout the county
- Create a safe and enjoyable experience along the entirety of the trail system, and to encourage walking and biking as transportation alternatives
- View Gwinnett Place Connected Plan
Current schedule calls for developing the engineering plans for phase one along Commerce Avenue in 2019, right of way acquisition in 2020, and construction in 2021. Phase two, McDaniel Farm Park to Shorty Howell Park connectivity, is scheduled for design and acquisition in 2021 and construction in 2022.
