Peachtree City Council approves 2025 street paving bid and multi-use path master plan

During the Peachtree City Council meeting on May 15, 2025, significant steps were taken to enhance the city’s infrastructure and transportation planning, directly impacting residents' daily lives.

One of the key decisions made was the approval of a $4.1 million bid for the 2025 street paving project, awarded to Atlanta Paving and Concrete. This decision is expected to improve road conditions throughout the city, addressing long-standing concerns about pavement quality and safety. The council's unanimous support for this project reflects a commitment to maintaining and upgrading essential city infrastructure.

In addition to road improvements, the council discussed the Transportation Advisory Group's updated Multi-Use Path Master Plan. This plan aims to enhance the connectivity of Peachtree City’s extensive path system, which is a vital aspect of the community's identity and daily transportation for many residents. The advisory group presented a thorough analysis of existing paths and identified areas needing new paths or upgrades, emphasizing the importance of linking neighborhoods to key destinations like schools and shopping centers.

The council expressed appreciation for the advisory group's efforts, noting that the last review of the path plan was in 2022, making this update timely and necessary. While the council agreed to "accept" the plan rather than "adopt" it—indicating that implementation will depend on future budget considerations—this step marks a significant move towards improving pedestrian and cyclist access across the city.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's proactive approach to addressing community needs through infrastructure improvements and transportation planning. As these projects move forward, residents can expect enhanced connectivity and safer travel options within Peachtree City.
