Downtown Improvement Project Enters Exciting New Conceptual Phase

Exciting things are ahead for downtown Notcross. City officials announced Tuesday that the College Street Streetscape Improvement Project has formally advanced from the pre-conceptual phase to the conceptual phase, a milestone eleven years in the making.

The project envisions widened sidewalks, improved lighting, additional street trees, and a reconfigured on-street parking arrangement along a three-block stretch of College Street. Under the conceptual phase, the design team will produce illustrative renderings depicting how these elements might appear if they were built.

"This is a genuinely significant moment for our downtown," a city spokesperson said. "For over a decade, residents have told us what they want to see on College Street. Now, for the first time, they will be able to see it."

The renderings will be displayed in the lobby of City Hall and at the Notcross Welcome Center. Residents are invited to review them and share feedback, which will inform the schematic design phase.

The schematic design phase is expected to follow the conceptual phase, pending funding, and will be followed in turn by design development, construction documents, permitting, bidding, and construction.

The City thanks the College Street business community for its continued patience and partnership.
