Project details: 

This intersection has been identified in the City of Dunwoody’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a priority project due to its current poor safety and low level of service. This intersection and the surrounding corridors lack adequate turn lanes along Mount Vernon Road and have limited accommodation for non-motorized users. The goal of this project is to correct these deficiencies and improve the safety and operations of this intersection.

Plans have been developed for the Mount Vernon Road at Tilly Mill Road. The design for this intersection and the surrounding corridor includes the addition of left turn lanes on Mount Vernon Road at Tilly Mill Road and at other adjacent intersecting roads. These modifications will improve the level of service and reduce rear end collisions along the corridor by providing turning vehicles a place of refuge. It will also reduce the number of angle collisions at Tilly Mill Road by enforcing proper lane assignments though the intersection. The design also provides for improved pedestrian crossings as well as a multi modal path along the north side of Mt. Vernon Road.
