Woodstock GA: Ridgewalk Interchange Gets Funding from DOT

The future of Ridgewalk in Woodstock looks brighter for the long-term. Granted we’re still in a real estate downturn and commercial real estate will definitely get worse before it gets better, but Woodstock can now see a future with a better way around town, improved access to I-575 and high-end retail. Last week The Cherokee Ledger reported,

Georgia Transportation Board District 6 representative Brandon Beach said Nov. 3 the agency’s rankings show that the Interstate 575 Rope Mill Road (Ridgewalk) project is funded and “the money’s there.” “The Rope Mill Road project will probably be pushed back a year, though, because not all the right-of-way is acquired,” Beach said. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) estimates that it will cost $22.5 million to build the interchange at Rope Mill Road. The interchange would access the Ridgewalk community, where Cousins Properties Inc. plans to build its 500,000-square-foot The Avenue shopping center.

Here is a proposed site plan for what Ridgewalk may look like upon completion of the future I-575 interchange at Rope Mill Road:

    Are people really trying to build more shopping centers and neighborhoods in Woodstock? I’d like to see this money go to something that’s A) necessary and B) good for the community and the environment in the long-run. How can anyone agree that this area needs MORE development??? Seriously!?
