The riders will then come back by Town Center Park as they head south on Buford Highway and then west on McGinnis Ferry Road. As they cross the Chattahoochee River, the peloton will have ridden nearly six miles through Suwanee. “We’re really excited to have these professional riders go by Level Creek Elementary,” says Dr. Nancy Kiel, principal of the school. “For the kids to see these international athletes and get a sense of the hard work and commitment that it takes to be a world- class cyclist – that’s a great example for the children.” The 2008 Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T features seven stages, beginning in Tybee Island April 21 and ending in Atlanta April 27. North America’s premier professional cycling event and a rolling festi- val of community activities, the Tour de Georgia ben- efits the Aflac Cancer Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. A great excuse to take a Friday off Go ahead and let the boss know that you’re taking the morning of April 25 off. He or she will certainly under- stand – after all, catching a stage start of an internationally recognized sporting event in your own “front yard” is a can’t-miss opportunity. Below are some recommended viewing locations along the six-mile Tour de Georgia route in Suwanee. Be sure to be in place by 10 a.m. While these athletes will be in “neu- tral” for much of the Suwanee route, they won’t be dilly-dallying by any means. • Town Center Park Not only do the riders take off from Town Center, they’ll be coming back by a second time on their way to Lumpkin County. In addition, there will be an array of festivities at the park and an opportunity to mingle with riders in “autograph alley” before the race start. • Brogdon Road The sidewalk along much of the west side of the road provides a vantage point that will be more subdued than the festive Town Center Park. Here, viewers can watch the riders climb their first hill of the day. • Tench Road between Brogdon Road and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard Closer to the PIB intersection, viewers will be able to get a great look and a great photo of the peloton as it crests the hill. • Please avoid Tench Road near Level Creek Elementary School so that students there will be able to see the professional cyclists. • McGinnis Ferry Road between Buford Highway and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard By the time they make it this far, the riders will have been given the green light to shift into high gear. The sidewalk along the north side of McGinnis Ferry will provide a safe vantage point to watch the blur of furiously pedaling athletes ride by.

Much of the City’s future growth is envisioned in three distinct areas: Suwanee Gateway, Town Center, and in nodes along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. The plan divides the entire City into 10 distinct character areas and describes expected, desired growth in each of the areas. Many of the areas, including most existing neighborhoods, are expected to experi- ence little, if any, significant changes. “This plan not only defines areas where bold changes are expected, indeed encouraged,” says Planning Director Josh Campbell. “It also, signifi- cantly, identifies those areas that need to be pre- served and not change very much.” SUWAN EE, GEORGIA 2030 CO MPR EHEN SI VE PLA N C O MMUNI T Feb Y A G ruary, 2008 EN D A prepare d for The Ci ty of Suwane e by Urban C ollage, Inc. a nd Coyne P lanning Asso ciates, LLC.

It’s also known as a spirited rolling festival. The City of Suwanee is planning an array of events that will ensure that the Stage 5 start in Suwanee lives up to its lively reputation. The race is slated to begin at 10 a.m. Friday, April 25, but Suwanee events will begin a full week before- hand.

    2007 Tour de Georgia Athlete Quotes STAGE SEVEN - April 22, 2007 Janez Brajkovich (SLO), Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team On his Discovery Channel team helping him over past few days to retain the AT&T Leader’s Jersey… “Yesterday and today they did an amazing job protecting me. Yesterday for the first hour and half there were so many attacks and when I saw them sacrificing themselves for me it was an amazing thing.” On getting a flat tire on one of the circuits in Atlanta today… “Immediately Brian (Vandborg) gave me his rear wheel… within seconds the whole team was at the back of the peloton waiting for me. It wasn’t a problem… we were in the front of the group in a matter of a few minutes. To have the guys like George (Hincapie), Tom (Danielson) and Levi (Leipheimer) helping me, a young guy, it’s an amazing feeling.” On winning the 2007 Tour de Georgia… “(This is the) the biggest win of my career so far. I wasn’t even planning to be here, so it’s really an amazing victory. To win this race by myself would be impossible, but with the team we had here, they were just amazing and they did a lot of work the past few days.” On his future… “It’s going to be a long way to win a race like a Grand Tour, but I have to be optimistic. I know it’s not gonna be possible in the next two, three, four or even five years…” Juan Jose “JJ” Haedo (ARG), Team CSC On the final circuit of Stage Seven in downtown Atlanta… “(With) two km (kilometers) to go, there was a crash… I almost crashed… the last 700m a train with the Tinkoff guys came up and I moved behind them.
