Why It Matters: This plan is part of a 20-year paving cycle initiated when Dunwoody became a city in 2008. In its 14th year, the city has paved 230 lane miles since incorporation, prioritizing roads with the greatest maintenance needs.
What’s Next?: A new citywide pavement assessment has been approved, using an instrumented van to measure ride roughness and cracks, providing 360-degree images of the roadway. The data will be used to develop a pavement condition index score, helping to determine future resurfacing priorities.
