Why do the Express Lanes and bus rapid transit…

  • July 31, 2019July 31, 2019
  • by Kailash Lala

Previous analysis showed the need for one lane of additional capacity on SR 400 in the segment north of McFarland Parkway. This need has been addressed by the recently constructed third general purpose lane in both northbound and southbound directions as part of the Forsyth County SR 400 capacity adding project. The third general purpose lane begins immediately north of McFarland Parkway and extends north of SR 20. Traffic patterns show that there is a congestion drop off at McFarland Parkway and the recently constructed third general purpose lane has further relieved traffic volumes.

While MARTA service does not extend into Forsyth County, the express lanes would be used by Xpress buses with origins and destinations in Forsyth County.

Comments were received requesting no access points in the City of Roswell.
We received several comments regarding access point locations in Sandy Springs including: Adding an access point at Abernathy Road, increasing express lane access for residents in northern Sandy Springs, and not allowing an access point at Spalding Drive.
