Last year I wrote about Lilburn’s newest Community Improvement District.  The Lilburn CID runs along US29 from Jimmy Carter Boulevard to the Ronald Reagan Parkway.  The purpose is to improve business along the corridor by making a more attractive environment, better traffic flow and working to create more of a commercial destination.

Now, a year later, the changes are evident.  Incomplete… but evident.  There are several portions of the route along US29 that are very much under construction.  Medians are being added, rights of way are being widened and traffic flow… even with the construction underway… is improving.

We saw many of the same types of changes in the Evermore CID… on the other side of Lilburn, GA, running along US78 from just past Stone Mountain Park to almost Snellville.  Those changes also improved traffic flow, got rid of the contentious reversible lanes and beautified several key areas along the route.

It is exciting to see the changes happening.  Lilburn is growing and maturing… and coming into its own.  It is home to Parkview and Brookwood High Schools, two of the best performing schools in Gwinnett County (which is one of the best performing district in the state).  Combined with new improvements like the expanded Walking Trail network based at Lilburn City Park, this is becoming even a better place to live and work.
