WOODSTOCK, Ga. — A north metro Atlanta city is looking at ways to tackle traffic, improve sidewalks and expand options for people who want to walk, bike or use trails.
The Woodstock City Council approved a new five-year Comprehensive Transportation Plan this week. The plan will serve as a roadmap for transportation improvements and spending across the city.

The plan comes as Woodstock prepares to receive new transportation sales tax, or TSPLOST, funding approved by Cherokee County voters.
The plan will look at ways to reduce congestion along major roads, improve traffic signals and identify projects that could help traffic move more efficiently.
City officials will also look for gaps in sidewalks, potential new sidewalk connections and ways to improve bicycle and trail connectivity.
The city will even study demand for golf cart travel as it looks at ways to create more options for getting around.

Residents will have a chance to weigh in before the plan is completed. The city plans to use surveys, focus groups, stakeholder meetings, community outreach and a public meeting to gather feedback.
“This Comprehensive Transportation Plan will serve as Woodstock’s guiding transportation blueprint for the next five years, helping us relieve traffic and congestion along our major corridors while thoughtfully planning for future growth,” Deputy City Manager Coty Thigpen said.
The city says the goal is to create a transportation network that is safer, more efficient and better suited to Woodstock’s growing population.
