Did you know that the number of pedestrians struck and killed by vehicles is on the rise in Georgia? According to a recent report by local TV station, 11alive, 188 people were killed last year in Georgia after being struck by a car.

Here in Chamblee, efforts are underway to add sidewalks to our busy roads and streets. With over 4,000 new residents coming to Chamblee due to recent residential construction, some arterial roads are feeling the grip of the increased traffic. Sidewalks on these roads, such as Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. inside I-285 to Peachtree Blvd., should move to the top of the list due to current and increasing traffic demands.
According to the GADOT, 12,100 cars travel on Chamblee Dunwoody Rd. every day. With increased pedestrian traffic due to the growth of Chamblee First United Methodist, the Chabad Israeli Center, and multiple new residential offerings, sidewalks on both sides of the street should be a priority for residents' safety.

While there are currently some sidewalks on Chamblee Dunwoody Rd., there are stretches without sidewalks that pose a significant safety concern for pedestrians and motorists. According to the Planning.com article, Sidewalks in the Suburbs, "ONE sidewalk is justified if vehicles number 30 to 100 an hour and if there are 150 pedestrians a day; or more than 100 vehicles an hour and only 100 pedestrians a day. TWO sidewalks are justified if vehicles number 50 to 100 an hour and 500 pedestrians a day." We have more than twice the traffic, with half the sidewalks.

I have been in correspondence with local transportation officials regarding the current infrastructure gaps on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. The documentation provided by this collective effort has proven essential in demonstrating the urgency of these safety improvements.

The engagement surrounding this project has grown significantly beyond my initial expectations. It is clear that the need for pedestrian safety on Chamblee Dunwoody Road resonates deeply with our community.

I agree this is needed. I do not walk CDR because of the conditions, but I would. It's a key thoroughfare and link for the community - it should be pedestrian friendly. Brookhaven needs to be involved too, as they share part of the west side of the road.
would LOVE to have sidewalks, especially from Remington Rd. past Chamblee Methodist Church and up to Gainsborough Dr.
Connecting sidewalks to traffic lights on both sides of the street and/or a street crossing for Chabad Israeli Center is very important for safety.
I walk the dog twice a day and it is extremely dangerous trying to get across the street any time of the day. I have to walk through a section without sidewalks either direction in order to get to a sidewalk area. A cross walk would help also
I walk my dog every day on Chamblee Dunwoody and am terrified each time that I will trip and fall. The sidewalks are nothing but stumps and rocks. Please help the Chamblee High School students and citizens who walk these sidewalks daily.
Very Important.
Please repair and build new sidewalks

Have a child at CCHS and would like for our family to be able to walk to school on Chamblee Dunwoody. Kids walk to our neighborhood at Gainsborough from school and it can be very dangerous.
