City of Woodstock's Hub Transformation Project has been named a 2024 Project of Excellence by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Assistant to the City Manager Jamie Palmer, Engineering Manager Janis Steinbrenner, Cherokee County Community Development Director Brantley Day, and Matt McDow with project partner Arcadis accepted the award at the ASCE Georgia Section Annual Awards Gala on Friday, June 21. The Hub Transformation Project improved traffic operations in Downtown Woodstock by converting Mill Street to a two-way street, converting the intersection of Mill Street and Towne Lake Parkway to a roundabout, and adding a left turn lane at the intersection of Towne Lake Parkway westbound onto Main Street northbound. These changes allow many vehicles to effectively bypass the heavily congested Main Street at Towne Lake Parkway intersection reducing delays and crash frequency. The project received a loan and grant from the Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank administered by the State Road and Tollway Authority. American Society of Civil Engineers Arcadis

The $80,000 grant from the ARC Community Development Assistance Program will help to foster greater income diversity so people who work in the community can afford to live there as well reducing the need for long commutes.
