State Route 13 / Atlanta Highway Corridor Study

The Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization (GHMPO), in partnership with Hall County and the City of Gainesville, have initiated the State Route 13 / Atlanta Highway Corridor Study. This study seeks to analyze the Atlanta Highway corridor from Tumbling Creek Road to State Route 369 / Jesse Jewell Parkway, and will provide a list of projects that would improve mobility and safety for vehicles and pedestrians alike. The project team is seeking feedback from citizens on the corridor, and has created a project website featuring background information on the corridor, as well as a survey to give citizens a chance to make their voices heard.

Updates and Future Events

January 2025 Update: GHMPO and the project team hosted the first public meeting for the project on November 14, 2024, in which the project team met with members of the community to get direct feedback on their experiences on the Atlanta Highway corridor.  Since gathering feedback from the public, GHMPO and the project team have developed a draft list of recommendations, which is currently being refined. A public open house has been scheduled to discuss the draft recommendations with the public and provide an opportunity to for the public to meet with the project team. GHMPO is currently developing four plans, and will be presenting on all four of them at the open house for the convenience of the public. Details below:
