At Clairemont, Church Street and Commerce Intersections and Church Street Bicycle Lanes
A community workshop to discuss alternative plans for pedestrian safety improvements at Clairemont, Church Street and Commerce intersections and Church Street bicycle lanes will be held on Thursday, January 12, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 p.m. in the City Commission meeting room of Decatur City Hall, 509 North McDonough Street, in downtown Decatur. As part of the City’s capital improvements program, the purpose of the work is to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists and others using these facilities.
The City has retained the firm of Development Planning and Engineering to help plan the project, which will be partially funded through grants from the Georgia Department of Transportation. An initial workshop to outline project goals was held in September.
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.
I’d like to see a few traffic lights in the area fixed, like the ones at the intersections of Commerce-Sycamore and Commerce-Candler. They nearly refuse to change during the day. Where can folks get the opportunity to give input about them?
