Current Activities:

(September 2024) -  Right of way acquisition is in progress.

Project Details:

Phase 2 will connect the recently completed path in front of Perimeter Mall to the cycle track in front of Publix at Meadow Lane Road.  The project will include a two-way cycle track and wide sidewalk from Perimeter Center West to Perimeter Center North where the cycle track will transition to one-way on both sides of Ashford Dunwoody Road.  Landscaping and lighting enhancements will also be included as part of the construction.  

The new path on Ashford Dunwoody Road will help connect the office communities with the commercial businesses and residents along the corridor. Extending non-motorized transportation options in the Perimeter area will increase the geographic reach of the Dunwoody MARTA station. These pathways are one of the ways the City is meeting the “the last mile” connectivity challenge in this critical job center, which employs more than 125,000 people. 

Phase 1 of the Ashford Dunwoody Path runs from Hammond Drive to Perimeter Center West. It includes a two-way, raised bicycle path (also known as a cycle track), a wider sidewalk, new pedestrian streetlights, and landscaping along Ashford Dunwoody Road in front of Perimeter Mall.

This project is included in the City’s transportation plan and aligns with the Dunwoody Trail Master Plan. Most of the construction cost will be split 50/50 between the City and PCIDs. Decorative pavers, posts, benches, and trash cans will be fully funded by PCIDs. The City’s share of the cost will be funded through hotel/motel taxes.

The Ashford Dunwoody Path has been split into phases for funding purposes. Future phases of the project will connect north to Mt. Vernon Road.
