Residents of Planterra Ridge Subdivision and regular commuters along Kelly Green should prepare to adjust their routes later this month. According to an announcement published on the official website of Peachtree City, the subdivision will be temporarily closing a section of the road for the installation of a new subdivision gate. Beginning next Monday, August 18, Kelly Green will be inaccessible to through traffic at the intersections of Dividend Drive and Terrane Ridge until Friday, September 5, weather permitting. The aim of this project is to "enhance safety for residents walking or playing in the neighborhood, and reduce the number of non-resident vehicles using the subdivision as a shortcut," as stated on their website. While the closure might cause some initial disruption, it seems intended ultimately to contribute to a serene and secure community space.
To manage to detour around the construction site, motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to consult the detour map provided online. The Planterra Ridge community has expressed gratitude for the patience of the public and can be contacted at [email protected] for further information regarding the construction and the detour plan.
Meanwhile, a separate infrastructure issue expects to impact local traffic patterns. The Multi-use Path adjacent to Interlochen Drive is closed as of Thursday, July 31, until further notice, due to a void found beneath the path that requires investigation and repair. Peachtree City Public Works asks the public to follow the marked detour, and they can be reached at 770-487-5183 for any questions concerning this matter. While the road closure and path detour occurring simultaneously may pose an inconvenience, both are necessary steps toward ensuring public safety and the long-term usability of local infrastructure.
