Remaining Speed Tables

Andrew Tritt — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 18:15:29 GMT

The constant rain has delayed the implementation of speed tables. At the time of posting, the remaining sections of Tuxedo Road are now complete. The City is now working on Habersham Road, beginning from Roswell Road. As weather permits, they will then move to Woodhaven Road and finally Knollwood Drive.

Maybe Today?

We are told by the City the construction of speed tables on Habersham Road will begin today - weather permitting.

Report Your Potholes and Broken Stormwater Grates

Andrew Tritt — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 12:50:22 GMT

The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods (BCN) is developing a list of needed roadway improvements to send the City of Atlanta. If you have a pothole or broken stormwater grate needing repair, please send an email to BCN using info@buckheadcouncil.org. Kindly list the repair needed and the closest street address. A picture or short description is also helpful. Our friends at BCN are neighborhood volunteers. Please thank them for their work, when submitting a repair request.

Update: Timing of Speed Tables

Andrew Tritt — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 20:57:15 GMT

ATLDOT has suggested the construction of speed tables could begin as early as the week of April 21st. A third party vendor is doing the actual construction of the speed tables. As TPCA knows more on the timing of construction, we will update our webpage accordingly.

Transportation Announcement

Harrison Parker — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 21:26:50 GMT

Dear Tuxedo Park Residents,

We are pleased to let you know that an important and long-awaited public safety and traffic calming transportation measure is coming to Tuxedo Park: completion of speed tables in the neighborhood.

Six years ago, in response to excessive cut-through traffic and concerns about pedestrian safety, the Tuxedo Park Civic Association (TPCA), with the help of concerned neighborhood champions, commissioned Jacobs (a highly regarded worldwide engineering firm) to create a comprehensive Tuxedo Park Transportation Plan.

The transportation plan reflects extensive research, data collection, analysis, public feedback and TPCA board input. Heavy traffic, speeding and pedestrian safety were the top three concerns of respondents. The traffic issues in Tuxedo Park were shocking. For example, Habersham Road has 15,000 vehicles per day, 85% of which are non-resident cut-through traffic, and over 50% are speeding. Blackland Road handles 7,000 vehicles per day, 90% of which are cut through traffic. On Valley Road, 70% of the vehicles speed well over 30 MPH. No street in Tuxedo Park is spared the heavy volume of traffic. The 117-page transportation plan can be viewed on our website: tuxedoparkatlanta.com.

The neighborhood resoundingly supported speed tables in the plan, and our city councilmember Mary Norwood was recently able to get this speed table project moving forward on our behalf.

TPCA has reviewed ATLDOT’s recommendation for speed tables and made reductions in the number of speed tables (consistent with speed table spacing we already have in Tuxedo Park) to ensure spacing that is effective without being excessive. It is important to have all streets participate in speed tables; otherwise, traffic will redirect onto the streets that do not have them. ATLDOT is now marking the location of the tables based on traffic engineering principles.

Construction could begin in the next few weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to transportation@tuxedoparkatlanta.com.

Sincerely,

TPCA Board of Directors
