Sugarloaf CID
Community Improvement District
Project Goal
The Sugarloaf CID is working with Atlanta-based artist Krista Jones (aka Jonesy) to create a vibrant, patterned mural to cover the northbound facing wall on the Sugarloaf Parkway at the I-85 underpass.
In preparation for the mural to begin, the Sugarloaf CID partnered with Gwinnett County to remove hundreds of outdated, nonfunctioning lights from the Sugarloaf Parkway at the I-85 underpass. They were replaced with new LED lights providing improved visibility and safety for drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Now that this project is complete, the CID is working with Atlanta-based artist Krista Jones to create a vibrant, patterned mural to cover the northbound-facing wall on the underpass.
The CID also completed the landscaping installation on the east side of the I-85 interchange at Sugarloaf Parkway that mirrors the west side. Each of these project elements will work together to create a welcoming experience for visitors entering the district and a sense of place for those working and residing in the area.
Project Quick Facts
The mural will span the entire 10,400 square-foot wall at the gateway into Gwinnett’s Downtown.
The mural concept comes from the artist’s “FORMATIONS” series, which examines how vibrant color, elements of nature and sweeping patterns can transform sterile urban spaces into moments of joy.
Project Status
The mural installation will begin in May of 2024.
The CID is seeking funding partners to install this artwork. Click here to download the Sponsor Brochure.
