Monday, September 26
6-8pm; Decatur City Hall
As part of its capital improvements program, the City of Decatur is considering options for pedestrian safety improvements to the Clairemont Avenue-Commerce Drive and Church Street-Commerce Drive intersections and for bicycle lane improvements on Church Street in downtown Decatur. The purpose of the work is to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists and others using these facilities. The project is based on Decatur’s 2008 Community Transportation Plan and is a project in the 2010 Strategic Plan. A major goal of the Community Transportation Plan is to encourage healthy lifestyles and active living in Decatur. The plan is available online at www.decaturga.com/communitytransportationplan.
The city has retained Development Planning and Engineering, a design firm, to help plan the project. The project will be partially funded through grants from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
A community workshop to discuss plans for these improvements will be Monday, Sept. 26, 6-8 p.m., in the City Commission meeting room of Decatur City Hall, 509 N. McDonough St. We hope you can join us to learn more about this project.
