Answered: 705 Skipped: 1,146 # Responses Date 1 - repaving Holcomb Bridge road, which is in desperate need of it. - changing the 400 / HB interchange to be a 3/1/2017 8:39 AM cloverleaf to accommodate the traffic 2 Something with a mixed use, medium density that incorporates a destination, a park like what Duluth is doing to their 3/1/2017 8:05 AM down town. 3 Less traffic congestion and more enterprising businesses and entertainment/athletic venues. 2/28/2017 3:32 PM 4 redevelop the closed super target into a college facility 2/28/2017 2:29 PM 5 MORE LANES 2/28/2017 10:30 AM 6 Renovation of existing buildings, re-purposing of vacant buildings and storefronts (esp. on the East Roswell side), 2/27/2017 10:48 PM attracting successful/sustainable businesses to the area (more services and experiences...less retail), cleaning up the higher crime pockets. 7 1 - No more new development. Re-develop the empty boxes already there with tax incentives. Replace much of the 2/27/2017 9:11 PM green that was lost. Concrete and pavement are not inviting. Greenery is inviting. Those shopping centers should have been developed as pedestrian malls. Further develop the means (MUPs) for people to use alternative transportation and market the heck out of it, particularly from neighborhood to market. Invest via SPLOST a light rain system running parallel to Holcomb Bridge Rd. Forget MARTA - they won't be here until we have a colony on Mars. 8 My vision is to ensure appropriate businesses are drawn into the empty strip malls to maintain and increase the calibre 2/27/2017 3:19 PM of the area. Also more nice restaurants too. I have lived here for 29 years now and seen many changes. 9 HOMES - TREES - OPEN SPACE 2/27/2017 8:29 AM 10 Our vision for Roswell can be summed up in one word: connectivity. While Holcomb Bridge Rd. is a much-needed 2/26/2017 8:28 PM thoroughfare for cars, we envision the businesses along it being accessible by bicycle and walking as well. For example, the Big Creek Greenway runs behind several businesses on North Point Parkway. You can ride your bike to the movie theater or Barnes & Noble. However, even this access is limited, as it seems to be a secondary thought. Once you reach the movie theater, there is no official path from the Greenway to the theater parking lot. Imagine if all of the businesses on Holcomb Bridge had a bike/walking path behind them with clear and safe connections to them. Parking lots had pedestrian access and easy, safe pathways to nearby sidewalks. Imagine that shopping centers were connected to each other by pedestrian paths. Bike racks become a standard fixture in front of all businesses. Another key example is the land between Martins Landing Drive and Eves Road south of Holcomb Bridge. If the city of Roswell purchased this land, it could connect the East Roswell Library (and all the business across the street from it) to residential areas like Martin's Landing. Eventually, the businesses on the opposite side like Rite Aid and Kroger could be made more pedestrian friendly. 11 More live work play areas and a hub for East Roswell with enhanced city services for this side of Roswell...we cannot 2/26/2017 9:09 AM be a Roswell annex or afterthought 12 Single Family Residences with a reduced emphasis on commercial and multi-family residences. 2/25/2017 7:19 PM 13 Fill empty commercial spaces with established successful businesses and not tear down any more trees 2/25/2017 4:52 PM 14 Must be low impact on the Holcomb Bridge corridor. It is already almost impossible to use this road at peak times and 2/25/2017 11:16 AM difficult at regular times. 15 I think Roswell should follow the example set by Alpharetta in allowing multistory and larger projects to occur. So what 2/25/2017 10:23 AM about traffic. It's already bad... At least we can begin the change the dumpy run down look and feel along this corridor. Also, please encourage/include redevelopment along Alpharetta hwy between the courthouse up and North of Holcomb Bridge Rd. 16 A vibrant attractive area with shopping and restaurants. A Marta station at 400. and office complexes like Kimberly 2/24/2017 6:48 PM Clark. Some upscale townhouses like there are near Old Milton High School would be nice. 17 Greenway space Retail space. Lost 2 great stores. Target and kohles. Theses are 2. Stores that do well everywhere. 2/24/2017 4:03 PM Why not holcomb bridge??was rent too high?? 18 Faster transit during rush hour, improved curb appeal of commercial buildings, perhaps a park at the river. MUST: 2/24/2017 2:48 PM MARTA heavy rail at Holcomb bridge and 400. 19 Like the area Jerry Wood provided for his people on the other side / west side of Alpharetta Hwy, its clean and pristine 2/24/2017 1:47 PM and good often used businesses. 20 Updating store fronts and slowing traffic by 5 miles per hour. I would like to see the entrance to Horseshoe Bend cross 2/24/2017 1:42 PM over and cuts through to Scott Rd; instead of using Centennial Kroger parking lot cut through; makes Roswell look poodunk. Turning left into HSB is dangerous. People also run the red on Holcomb Bridge quite often. 21 Remove unusable real estate and "dress up" HBR and change it to a parkway. 2/24/2017 1:32 PM 22 to move away from big back retail to destination dining/mixed use 2/24/2017 12:40 PM 23 Less traffic, bike paths, Utilize retail space already built, more dog parks! 2/24/2017 12:30 PM 24 More restaurants, Trader Joes 2/24/2017 10:23 AM 25 shopping and restaurants, mixed use development, walkable area 2/23/2017 9:34 PM 26 A coordinated redevelopment of offices, retail/restaurants, higher density housing with a mix of higher end and Quality 2/23/2017 9:05 PM affordable housing. 27 I'm not against development IF the roads and infrastructure can handle it. Rush hour is a nightmare now. Just don't 2/23/2017 5:59 PM need more cars or new apartments. 28 An upscale suburban area. Keep in mind - suburb not downtown Atlanta 2/23/2017 5:09 PM 29 A cleaned up version of itself with buried power lines and clean facades on buildings. 2/23/2017 2:50 PM 30 A corridor similar to what they have on the West side. 2/23/2017 2:17 PM 31 To emulate, to the highest degree possible, what Roswell looks like on the west end corridor 2/23/2017 2:07 PM 32 Primarily residential and increasing in value. Some small business office space. Point-of-sale establishments to 2/23/2017 1:26 PM support what residents need on a week to week basis. Continuing emphasis on parks and neighborhoods. 33 Create some kind of a hub for East Roswell 2/23/2017 11:03 AM 34 Street beautification, more parks, East Roswell city services center. 2/23/2017 10:53 AM 35 Sports Centers 2/22/2017 8:53 PM 36 Something like North Point Parkway would be nice - trees down a center divider. It would also be nice to have a faster 2/22/2017 8:44 PM east/west fast road - something like Peachtree Industrial, but not where Holcomb Bridge is... the fastest route to Marietta should not be through Sandy Springs / I-285 as it is sometimes now. 37 More high level shopping, restaurants and entertainment. (i.e. The Forum type center, Whole Foods, developments 2/22/2017 4:37 PM like we see in West Atlanta, The Avalon, etc.) Clean up the area to reduce crime. More closely supported by the City of Roswell and included as part of the great City of Roswell. 38 I would love to see East Roswell become a destination for sports and recreation. I love the history and charm of West 2/22/2017 3:17 PM Roswell but our side needs to become current, edgy and upbeat! Leave the mountain bike trails at Big Creek as they are or expand them. Turn empty big box retail space (old Kohl's and Target) into state of the art training facilities for swimming, diving, and X-game sports. Skateboarding is an Olympic sport now!!! (I'm biased but I think we have some fabulous local talent!) Supplement the area with healthy dining and grocery options, sports medicine facilities and holistic healthcare. Attract more businesses like Fresh Bikes. 39 Mixed use real estate.
