It will help everybody.
More direct access to the Hamilton Place mall area and easing chronic traffic jams on nearby Shallowford Road are seen as two benefits to a $40 million interchange project at Interstate-75.
The city is seeking proposals from engineering firms for services related to modifying Hamilton Place Boulevard near the mall to accommodate the state’s I-75 interchange work.
Stacey Keating, a spokeswoman for mall owner CBL Properties, said there’s a lot of development occurring in the Hamilton Place area, particularly with the planned reuse of the mall’s Sears store and its parking lots.
“It will bring an influx of traffic to the whole campus,” she said.
