Vision Goals Progress Success

Originally called the Highway 78 CID it’s founding Board of Directors included: Emory Morsberger u Larry Pearson u Forrest Adair u Kenny King u Art Mezzullo u Dean Robinson u Dwight Harrison uBill Gower In February 2007 the board voted to change the organization’s name to Evermore CID. In a nod to the history of the community a new logo and slogan were developed which incorporated the CID vision for the future with a remembrance of the past.

In 2003 concerned property owners formed the 1st CID in Gwinnett County.

In 2007 GDOT removed the reversible lanes from Highway 78, replacing it with divided median. The CID worked closely with GDOT to achieve a higher aesthetic than traditional median highways, while preserving the ability for commuters to travel safely and access local area businesses. Decel lanes, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, and landscaping added significant change to a traditional 7 lane highway.

Project Cost: $66,000,000 Sources: Gwinnett County, Federal & State

Open to traffic in 2016, the roadway features a signalized intersection, new roadbed with curb/gutter and improved access to homes and businesses at the intersection. As Phase I of Evermore North Boulevard it’s the first of four phases which will provide approximately 4 miles of collector roadway parallel to Highway 78. The project was first identified in the 2005 LCI Study. The realignment focused on creating a true 900 intersection at Walton Court and Old Highway 78.

Project Cost: $1.7M

Once complete (Fall 2018) the roadway will provide commuters with an alternate access route, which will become the Hewatt/Parkwood/Britt Collector. This project is a continuation of Walton Court which will extend over Highpoint Road and terminate at Britt Drive. This project will feature many of the same elements as Walton Court, with a notable exception

• f a Roundabout at

Highpoint.

This project provides full access to US 78 for those residents which utilized Cambridge Street. Further, the project reduced the number of conflict points along the US 78 corridor by eliminating the need for U-turn movements, which works to improve mobility and enhance safety. In order to promote pedestrian activity at this location, sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, pedestrian refuge islands and landscaped buffers were included in the design for this project. An exciting result of this project was the demolition

Project Cost: $1.5M

During the removal of the reversible lane system along US 78, sidewalks within the project area were reduced from four to three feet in this location, creating a dangerous proximity for pedestrians to US 78 vehicular traffic. The Yellow River Bridge was constructed to provide a parallel pedestrian crossing at the Yellow River, creating a safe transportation alternative. Utilizing both Public and Private funds, the purpose of this project was to construct a public, central sewer system serving the properties between the Yellow River and Jessica Daron Court. Project Cost: $886,000 Project Cost: $598,000

The node projects provide character enhancements, landscaping, and improved pedestrian access to 5 major intersections along the Corridor.
