When I first ran for Tucker City Council, I committed to addressing road safety and investing in the corridors that connect city neighborhoods. One of the most important and most challenging of those corridors is Lawrenceville Highway.

Every day, thousands of drivers, business owners, and families rely on this stretch of road. But for many years, Lawrenceville Highway has lacked the basic features that make a corridor work for everyone. It’s often unsafe to cross on foot. Transit access is inconsistent. Many of our small businesses struggle with visibility and turning access. And the road itself does not reflect the kind of vibrant, connected city we know Tucker can be.

That’s why I’ve made Lawrenceville Highway a priority since day one. The good news is, we’re taking meaningful steps forward.

On Thursday, Aug. 14, the City of Tucker will host a Public Information Open House to present proposed safety and traffic flow improvements at two high-traffic intersections along Lawrenceville Highway: one at Brockett Road and another at Northlake Parkway and Cooledge Road. These projects are among the first phase of implementation under the larger Revive L29 planning effort, which envisions a safer, more accessible, and more welcoming Lawrenceville Highway corridor for drivers, pedestrians, and local businesses alike.

This meeting is a chance for residents to review the proposed changes, ask questions, and help shape what comes next. I encourage everyone in our community to attend.

Public Information Open House
Thursday, Aug. 14
5 to 7 p.m.
Tucker City Hall (1975 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 350B)

As we continue this work, I want to be clear about what’s at stake. These intersection upgrades are just the beginning. The full Revive L29 plan includes long-term improvements to sidewalks, lighting, access management, transit infrastructure, and corridor beautification. It is a vision for a safer, more welcoming road. A road that works for families, small businesses, and commuters alike.

To bring that vision to life, we need more than a plan. We need community support and the political will to follow through.

I’m asking readers to do three things. First, attend the public meeting on Thursday, Aug. 14. Second, reach out to your city council representatives and let them know this is a priority. Tell them you support continuing this work and that you want to see real investment in Lawrenceville Highway. Third, a survey about this corridor project will be available on the website in the coming weeks. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share it with your neighbors. 

We have a chance to turn a neglected corridor into something that reflects the best of Tucker. I believe we can do it — together.
