ROUNDABOUTS IN ROSWELL

The City of Roswell is preparing to begin construction on the City’s first roundabout at the intersection of Grimes Bridge Road and Norcross Street/Warsaw Road. The five-leg roundabout will allow the removal of the traffic signal and allow traffic to move freely through the intersection.
Roswell DOT has prepared material to inform you about how roundabouts work and how to travel through them. There is strong evidence from across the United States and in Georgia that confirms roundabouts:
- reduce accidents and injury crashes
- provide increased pedestrian and bicycle safety
- reduce vehicle speeds
- reduced vehicle delay and fuel consumption
- improve air quality by reduced vehicle idling
- reduce electricity usage (by removing existing traffic signal) therefore less cost to the city
- reduce road noise
- provide a sustainable, aesthetically pleasing improvement
In terms of the Grimes Bridge/Warsaw/Norcross roundabout project, it is important to note that:
- Modern roundabouts are safer than a traditional intersection with a traffic signal
- No houses will be taken or demolished as a result of this project
- No significant specimen trees will be removed or harmed due to this intersection improvement project
- The construction of this project requires no road closures
- The construction cost is estimated to be $950,000
Additional information is available in the Roundabout FAQs including City responses to misinformation being distributed in the community
Read a two-page Fact Sheet about the Grimes Bridge/Warsaw/Norcross roundabout project
Review the conceptual drawing of the Grimes Bridge/Warsaw/Norcross roundabout.
Review a two-page brochure discussing the navigation of a roundabout and the safety benefits of roundabout installation.

Peachtree Diner in Roswell, Georgia

Your Roswell Realtor is Proud to Share this Important Information with YOU!
PEACHTREE DINER IN BEAUTIFUL ROSWELL, GEORGIA @ 915 Holcomb Bridge Road, Suite B, Roswell, Georgia. 770-993-0299.
I was enlightened about the Peachtree Diner in Roswell by someone who commented on one of my restaurant reviews in East Cobb. Here’s what he said:
“Another quaint restaurant that brings that personalized service that you expect is Peachtree Diner. We have only had breakfast at this restaurant, but let me tell you, it was to die for. The service was great, the food was excellent, and the company was second to none.” After I received this comment, I decided to try the Peachtree Diner for myself. I too went for breakfast, and I have to say that I wasn’t at all disappointed! I had the Smoked Salmon Benedict and it was delicious!!!
I’m looking forward to going back for lunch. When I do, I will update this post! If you go to Peachtree Diner, or have been before, let me know your thoughts…and suggestions on what I should order.
