Tucker City Council Meeting
Published: Jul 14, 2026
City Approves Contract Amendment for Brocket Road Sidewalk Project, Front-Loading Georgia Power Payment
The City Council approved a contract amendment with Georgia Power Company for the Brocket Road sidewalk project. This amendment changes the payment terms from post-work payment to upfront payment for the relocation of two Georgia Power poles, a necessary step for completing the sidewalk gap on the east side of Brocket Road from Comanche to Railroad Avenue. Council had previously approved the sidewalk design, easements, and the initial contract in August. The project aims to improve pedestrian connectivity and ADA accessibility, particularly for individuals with mobility needs.
City Approves GDOT Contract for Safety Improvements on Mountain Industrial Boulevard
The City Council approved a contract and resolution with GDOT for right-of-way acquisition at six intersections along Mountain Industrial Boulevard. The project focuses on safety improvements, including enhancing radii, pedestrian enhancements, signal revisions, and crosswalks, rather than capacity expansion. The engineering design, partially funded by federal TIP money and a match from Tucker Summit CID, is underway. The right-of-way acquisition, estimated at over $700,000, is 100% locally funded and budgeted. The project originated from a freight cluster study and aims to improve safety for both large trucks and pedestrians at these key intersections.
