Dunwoody City Council sets into motion Chamblee Dunwoody / Womack Road Intersection Improvement Plan

Last night the City Council was in a deep discussion regarding the work scheduled for Chamblee Dunwoody and Womack and a segment of the discussion centered around the Right Turn Red that will be allowed after all the improvements were made.  At the end of the meeting as we were departing, a resident who was watching from home, drove over to the meeting to ask me a question.  She said she heard lots about the allowance of right hand on red but what we really need is a dedicated left hand turn lane!  I calmed her fears, fully agreed with her and assured her that the whole reason for the project was to add that dedicated left hand turn lane.

This post is dedicated to her, a very diligent resident who regularly watches our City Council meetings online and was unsure of the scope of the Womack / Chamblee Dunwoody Project.  If she was unaware of what is planned for that intersection, I am guessing that are others who might like an update too.

 Chamblee Dunwoody/Womack Road Intersection Improvement Plan

Video

The Dunwoody City Council has made this intersection a priority whereby we earmarked 1.7 Million dollars in the 2022 Budget to reconstruct the Chamblee Dunwoody and Womack intersection, adding in a much needed Left Hand Turn Lane on West Bound Womack, improving sight lines on Chamblee Dunwoody which will allow right turn on red, as well as make numerous sidewalk and drainage improvements.  

This Monday night the City Council set into motion the right of way dedication and utility relocation needed for the project.  Our hope is that hard construction will take place over the summer months to reduce traffic impacts that regularly use the corridor. 

Right of Way Dedication for Chamblee Dunwoody Road at Womack Road Intersection Improvement

Full Construction Plans of Intersection

Currently, westbound drivers have only one lane on Womack Road approaching the intersection. This single lane serves the left, right, and through movement. As such a vehicle waiting to turn left must yield to oncoming traffic, thus causing a backup to other drivers. Similarly, if there is a queue of vehicles on Chamblee Dunwoody Road northbound, a vehicle cannot safely merge into the queue without blocking traffic.

This proposed layout adds a left turn lane along Womack Road to provide a safe location for vehicles turning left onto Chamblee Dunwoody Road. The proposed design also improves the sight distance of this right turn by re-grading the slope and reconfiguring the retaining wall at the AT&T building in the south east quadrant of this intersection.

Throughout the project limits, roadway drainage will be improved by adding a closed drainage network. This network travels down the west side of Chamblee Dunwoody Road to tie into the existing drainage network. As a result, the sidewalk along the west side of Chamblee Dunwoody Road will be upgraded to meet current ADA standards and will effectively match the recent sidewalk project on the east side.

Dunwoody City Council Agenda for Monday February 28th, Paving Contract for 2022, Womack / Chamblee Dunwoody intersection starts a slow process of improvement with construction easements, new park at Perimeter Center East.

Dunwoody get ready for heavy traffic on East / West Connector Streets for the next year as commuters avoid 285 construction & lane reductions down to three lanes.

285 will be cut down to three lanes in each direction for the next year and Dunwoody surface traffic will be impacted!

 https://www.ajc.com/atlanta-traffic/i-285ga-400-get-ready-for-colossal-traffic-james/

Traffic at one of the most congested interchanges in metro Atlanta is about to get dramatically worse as construction peaks at I-285 and Ga. 400.

The weekend after Labor Day, the Georgia Department of Transportation will shrink the Perimeter from five lanes to three lanes in each direction from Roswell Road to Ashford Dunwoody Road, creating a colossal headache for hundreds of thousands of motorists. And it won’t be a short-term hassle.

“This is going to be a long-term, monumental (traffic) shift to get things finished,” GDOT spokesperson Natalie Dale said. “Do you really need to go through this interchange?”

The next phase of construction involves replacing I-285 bridges over Glenridge Drive, Ga. 400 and Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The weekend after Labor Day, GDOT will reduce I-285 from five lanes to three in each direction through the area.

Reducing the number of lanes by 40% will have a dramatic effect on traffic, and GDOT hopes people will avoid the area if they can.

GDOT now says the I-285 lanes will be reduced through June 2022.

PS: what the article doesn't tell you is that after this phase is completed the bridge over Chamblee Dunwoody will also be replaced which may also reduce 285 lane widths therefore the date of June for a return to normal traffic flow for us may not be accurate.

GDOT replies to community questions for the GA 400 Toll Lane project & Dunwoody contemplates specialized legal council for NEPA. #gapol @GADeptofTrans

Link - Response to comments on GA 400 Toll Project

The GA 400 Toll Lane project is about a year ahead of the Top End 285 Toll project, and as such GDOT just replied to the questions asked at the first 400 project open house.  The City of Dunwoody is watching very closely what happens with the 400 project and is collecting documents like these to assist us in formal review of the I-285 Toll Lane project in relation to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the impending Environmental Impact Statement.

I have already placed a request into the Mayor and City Manager that the City of Dunwoody 2020 budget should put aside specific funds to hire a specialized legal firm in order to review and assist us in the formal review of the I-285 Toll Lane project in relation to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the impending Environmental Impact Statement.

Petition to stop proposed toll lanes on 285 through Dunwoody is just a start as the City may need specialized environmental legal assistance.

I've signed, have you?  Still more to do.

The toll lanes are proposed by GDOT to directly impact our community, and to date, we know few specifics as the formal informational meetings haven't yet begun.  That being said, people are rightly worried, and a petition has been directed at the "decision makers" of GDOT and six local city councils, including the Dunwoody City Council.  In this case, the Dunwoody City Council does not get a vote for thumbs up or thumbs down but there may be ways during the public meetings for us as a community to influence the direction of the project to mitigate impacts on our citizens and I know the City Council will be fighting towards that end.

A couple of days ago, after seeing the petition cross my desk several times, I decided to add my name.   The author, Mr. Travis Reid immediately reached out to see if I had indeed signed the petition or did someone just spam my name.  Below was my reply...

"Yes Travis; I did sign your petition as I have taken public transportation almost every working day of my life since high school and I truly believe in it over just expanding the interstate. The plan being presented is additional lanes, and then there is a small chance of mass transit if the cities want to fund it. I believe this process is backward whereby mass transit should be the first discussion followed by other options like additional lanes after that.

That being said, I don't think a petition alone will stop the I-285 Top End project, it is not formal communication to the decision makers, therefore I believe more effort needs to take place at formal meetings once they occur.

As a local elected official, I currently have the same amount of information as the general public, whereby there may have been meetings with Mayors, but the information doesn't always flow downward.  I am looking forward to learning more.

As a Dunwoody City Councilman, I will fight to work with the project stakeholders to look for options to mitigate the effects on my community and I plan on being heavily involved where allowed to do so. We also need to carefully analyze the environmental impact statement as I believe this is the main way to effect the plans if not stop it completely."

What I didn't say in my reply is that I believe the City of Dunwoody needs to hire our own independent environmental impact attorney working on our behalf to guide us through the NEPA process and that on Monday I will be requesting the City Manager and Mayor to add targeted funds in the 2020 budget for this possible future expense.
