Council prepares to award 2025 street paving bid and adopt multi-use path plan

During the Peachtree City Council Work Session on May 8, 2025, city officials discussed several key initiatives aimed at improving local infrastructure and community planning. The meeting highlighted the city's ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing its roadways and multi-use paths, which are crucial for both transportation and recreation.

One of the primary topics was the annual street paving bid, which is set to be awarded at the next council meeting. City staff reported that this year’s project will cover 7.8 miles of street resurfacing, alongside improvements to a parking lot. The funding for this initiative comes from the 2023 Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMEQ) funds, with a target budget of approximately $5 million for paving annually. This consistent investment in road maintenance reflects the city’s proactive approach to infrastructure management.

Additionally, the council reviewed the Transportation Advisory Group's updated multi-use path master plan. This plan, which has been in development since December, includes various modifications based on community feedback and planning assessments. A presentation on the proposed updates will be made at the next council meeting, where council members will have the opportunity to adopt the revised master plan. This annual update is essential for ensuring that the city’s transportation network remains effective and responsive to the needs of its residents.

The discussions during this work session underscore Peachtree City’s dedication to enhancing its infrastructure and ensuring that community needs are met through careful planning and resource allocation. As the council prepares for the upcoming meetings, residents can anticipate further developments in these critical areas of urban planning and public works.
