      Transform 285/400 will add collector-
      distributor lanes on GA 400 at I-285,
      reconstruct the Mount Vernon Highway
      bridge, and construct a diverging
      diamond interchange at Abernathy Road
      and GA 400, among other improvements.

      In addition to Transform 285/400,
      PCIDs are spearheading other
      projects including:
      •  Active management of traffic signals
        along corridors of regional significance
      •  Use of off-duty police officers to direct
        traffic at key intersections during high
        peak traffic times
      •  Bicycle implementation strategy
      •  Design of commuter trails between
        corporate campuses


      “Last mile” connectivity is a goal for both
      PCIDs and the City of Dunwoody, to
      encourage walking and cycling as major
      modes of transportation, particularly
      around the transit stations. The City
      is currently acquiring right-of-way to
      develop separated pedestrian and bicycle
      facilities along Ashford Dunwoody Road
      between Hammond Drive and Mount
      Vernon Road. Extending non-motorized
      transportation options in the Perimeter
      area will increase the geographic reach
      of the Dunwoody MARTA station. The
      City also has plans to make the stretch
      of Chamblee-Dunwoody Road between
      I-285 and North Shallowford Road more
      pedestrian and bike friendly.
