Description:

TSW, subconsultant to Gresham Smith, partnered with Gwinnett County to develop the Safe and Equitable Multimodal Access Study, focusing on three Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) areas in Southwest Gwinnett to address transportation connectivity, land use planning, and community development. The study established a clear vision for each area, supported by actionable strategies for land use, multimodal transportation improvements, economic growth, and placemaking. Emphasizing equitable access, it prioritized community-driven solutions to ensure safe, efficient mobility for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users.

Through public engagement—including workshops, stakeholder meetings, pop-up events, and surveys—TSW gathered input to shape the study’s recommendations. For LCI Area 1, the study delivered multimodal corridor concepts, placemaking strategies, and transportation cost estimates. In LCI Areas 2 and 3, it focused on urban design frameworks, catalytic site redevelopment, housing strategies, and zoning updates to support long-term growth.

The final deliverable included a 100-Day Action Plan outlining immediate, short-term, and long-term strategies, along with prioritized transportation projects, housing recommendations, and economic development initiatives. Clear timelines, cost estimates, and responsible parties ensure feasibility and accountability.
