Emory’s Dowman Drive To Remain Closed Into January
Decatur Metro | January 3, 2011From the Clairmont Heights Civic Association…
Initial plans called for the closing of Emory’s Dowman Drive for several weeks as part of the DeKalb County streetscape and roundabout construction in Emory Village. Originally, the contractors believed that they would have their work done near Dowman Drive in December. Due to severe weather and other delays, it is likely that Dowman Drive will remain closed into January. It is unsure how long the delay will last.
Keep in mind, that once the work by Emory’s Haygood-Hopkins gate is complete, construction work will shift to South Oxford Road near Everybody’s Pizza. During this phase, South Oxford Road will close for approximately 60 days. When this occurs, the traffic lights will be removed, and the intersection of North Decatur and North Oxford roads will operate as a three-way stop. Please check the Alliance to Improve Emory Village website for updates.

A three way stop. Really? They need a lawyer on every corner.
The Emory law students can stroll down the hill and sign up their first clients.
Ugh, this will continue to wreak havoc with my biking route. I wonder if the closing of S. Oxford will close access to the parking lot for Everybody’s. That would be a major hit to their business.
Everybody’s parking lot will remain open and available throughout construction. However, access will be from Clifton Road for a 60 day period when grading is occurring near the North Decatur intersection and South Oxford is temporarily blocked.
