A study of Pill Hill’s traffic and possible mitigation projects is underway, with results expected by mid-November.

A wide-ranging study of Pill Hill’s traffic and possible mitigation projects is underway, with results expected by mid-November. Some officials are questioning how useful the study, conducted by KimleyHorn, will be, given its 90-day timeframe, small target area and inclusion of projects that remain on the planning board. One state project that triggered the study, “managed lane” ramps along I-285 and Ga. 400, lacks any detailed plan. But Yvonne Williams, president and CEO of the Perimeter Center Improvement Districts, which commissioned the study last month on behalf of the Medical Center’s institutions, said she believes there’s value in the study.
“The study will be identifying best opportunities to best relieve traffic,” she said, adding that Kimley-Horn has conducted many previous Pill Hill studies and has that background to draw on. “There’s a lot of interest in the Medical Center area,” Williams said. “[Local institutions need] to make sure that we have a transportation grid that works… It makes absolute sense that we [have] a complete transportation network.” The study came out of an effort by Northside Hospital, which is footing the $100,000 bill, according to Williams. But Emory Saint Joseph’s and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite are participating, along with Sandy Springs city staff and other local stakeholders. The study will include existing conditions and projects on the books, as well
