Roswell City Council approves partnership for North Fulton transportation plan update

The Roswell City Council made significant strides in urban planning during their recent meeting on June 24, 2025, focusing on a collaborative transportation initiative with neighboring cities. The council unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement to update the North Fulton Comprehensive Transportation Plan (NFCTP), a crucial step in enhancing regional infrastructure.

Greg Nicholas, the interim director of transportation, presented the plan, which is funded by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). The update, set to take place over the next 12 to 18 months, will involve input from all five North Fulton cities. The total estimated cost for the project is $1.2 million, with Roswell's share amounting to $58,642, funded through unprogrammed TSPLOST 2 funds. This collaborative effort aims to streamline decision-making and project management, with Johns Creek designated as the administrative city to manage local matching funds.

In addition to the transportation plan, the council also authorized the sale of a small piece of city-owned right-of-way at 11370 Crabapple Road. A developer requested this land to integrate a city drainage structure into their private system, which city staff deemed unnecessary for future use. This decision reflects Roswell's commitment to facilitating development while ensuring efficient use of city resources.

These actions underscore Roswell's proactive approach to urban development and regional cooperation, setting the stage for improved transportation and infrastructure in the coming years.
