I like the idea of clossing the entrance/exit from Publix to Chamblee -Dunwoody. But along with that the left turn signal should be reinstalled at Chamblee-Dunwoody and Dunwoody Village Parkway and the traffic pattern changed in the Publix Parking area to accommadate a new flow pattern that would be compatable with the changes recommended. It was foolish to remove a perfectly good working left turn signal there in the first place. Good luck on getting either done.

Based on the comments on this issue, the city has reviewed over 50 accidents that occurred on this segment of Chamblee Dunwoody Road in the last five years. There was one accident involving a left turning car from Dunwoody Village Parkway in two years prior to the left turn arrow being removed and there has been one similar type accident in the three years since the change was made. The left turn arrow was removed to improve traffic flow on Chamblee Dunwoody Road and does not appear to have affected the safety of the intersection.
In the same five year period there have been three accidents related to left turns out of the Publix driveway with none occurring in the last three years. The accident rate at Publix is comparable to the accident rate at other driveways on the corridor and does not warrant restricting the access to the property at this time.
