The rising population has sparked a corresponding increase in medium density residential and commercial development within the city. To provide a comprehensive overview of this growth and development, the following table represents the 1,608 permits issued by the city between 2019 and 2023. This summary serves to illustrate the growing appeal of Lawrenceville as a desirable location for individuals seeking opportunities to reside, work, and engage in recreational activities. 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 Issued Permit Type Number of Permits Issued Residential Building Permits 858 / 53% Commercial Building Permits 681 / 42% Land Disturbance Activity Permits 69 / 4% Permits by Building Type (2019-2023)  Land Use – Character Areas 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023  2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 Lawrenceville Comprehensive Plan & TMP Transportation Transportation • Comprehensive analysis of Lawrenceville's transportation landscape. • Historical significance of transportation in shaping the city. • Challenges and opportunities in the 21st century. • Vision for revitalizing the city's core through transportation. • Importance of understanding residents' transportation patterns. • Collaborations with transit partners for development and sustainability. 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 • The role of the Gwinnett County Airport in economic development. • Maintenance and service delivery responsibilities for infrastructure. • Alignment with regional transportation goals for urban harmony. • Lawrenceville's commitment to a sustainable, connected, and vibrant future. Transportation – Travel Patterns Most Lawrenceville workers commute into the city for work. Only 1,600 employees both live and work in the city, while ~14,000 working residents commute out of Lawrenceville for their jobs. Lawrenceville Commuters: 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 45% works in Gwinnett County 20% travels to Fulton County 10% travels to Dekalb County Inflow/Outflow Job Counts Transportation – Roadway Safety The highest injury and fatality crash rate occur along Lawrenceville Suwannee Road, Scenic Highway, Hurricane Shoals Road, and Sugarloaf Parkway. In addition to the intersections, Johnson Road, Hurricane Shoals Road, Buford Drive north of Hurricane Shoals Road, and West Pike Street are corridors with clusters of fatality and serious injury crashes.

Jackson Street and Sugarloaf Parkway are key thoroughfares for freight mobility and mitigating truck-related impacts to downtown. 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 To minimize freight impacts to downtown. Recommended locations for this signage include: o Lawrenceville Highway and Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road o Scenic Highway and Sugarloaf Parkway o Grayson Highway and Sugarloaf Parkway o East Crogan Steet and Scenic Highway  Key Findings Transportation – Bike & Pedestrian •There were no areas within the city with a concentration of bicycle crashes. •The Hurricane Shoals Road corridor and Downtown experience the highest concentration of pedestrian crashes. While this would be anticipated to some degree within Downtown due to higher levels of pedestrian traffic, the high rate of crashes along Hurricane Shoals indicates a need for a more detailed analysis for pedestrian safety. 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023  Transportation – Bike & Pedestrian The corridors with high bicycle and pedestrian risk: • West Pike Street/Duluth Highway • Grayson Highway/S. Clayton Street (south of downtown) 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 • Lawrenceville Highway • Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road • Old Norcross Road • Gwinnett Drive  2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 Lawrenceville Comprehensive Plan & TMP Economic Development Economic Development •Positioning Lawrenceville as a dynamic and prosperous city. •Multifaceted approach: business climate, skilled workforce, infrastructure, tourism, and innovation. •Foundation for sustainable economic 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 expansion. •Elevated employment prospects, investment allure, and living standards.  Economic Development – Employment Concentration of Jobs Employment Trend 2045 PWRPT 2045 COMP PLN_12042023 Steady Growth Since 2017 Three Major DRIs: 9,214 jobs added between 2012 & 1.
