Join us tonight from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the City Commission meeting room of Decatur City Hall, 509 N. McDonough St., for a workshop about the Clairemont-Commerce-Church Street corridor pedestrian safety and bike lane improvements.
The project is based on Decatur’s 2008 Community Transportation Plan and is a project in the 2010 Strategic Plan to encourage healthy lifestyles and active living in Decatur. The purpose of the work is to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.

Depending on the weather, Reeves Contracting will start the last phase of the downtown storm drainage improvements at 7 p.m. tomorrow night (Sunday, March 2). Due to the volume of daytime traffic on Church Street, work during this period will be at night between the hours of 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. The initial challenge will be to cross the intersection at East Trinity Place. At times, traffic on East Trinity will be reduced to one two-way lane with traffic control provided by police officers and flaggers. This will be adjusted as work progresses.
Once across East Trinity, Reeves will lay drainage pipe in Church Street up to the area just north of the entrance to the parking lot at 320 Church Street. During this period, the 300 block of Church Street will be open to local traffic only at night between 7 pm and 5 am. Access to businesses and parking will be maintained during the evenings. Church Street will be open as usual during the day. A flyer is attached describing the work and suggested detour routes.
This phase of the work should take about four weeks to complete. We appreciate everyone’s patience and good will during this project.

Weather permitting, Reeves Contracting plans to start installing the new storm sewer on Church Street north of East Maple early this week. The new storm sewer will extend from East Maple north on Church Street towards East Trinity Place.
Businesses on Church Street between East Trinity Place and East Maple Street should notify patrons that once work begins this week, traffic will be limited to one-way in the southbound direction, so they will have to approach this area from East Trinity Place.
Due to the location of the new storm line, on-street parking on Church Street will be prohibited in the area of construction. A schematic plan illustrating temporary traffic changes can be downloaded here.
The photo shows Reeves’ construction team installing the new storm line across East Howard Avenue earlier last week. This line intercepts an old granite rubble and terra cotta storm sewer that crosses the CSX railroad and heads cross country under several properties on the east side of Church Street.

Reeves is completing installation of the new storm sewer on Church Street south of East Maple and will start construction of the new system on East Howard Avenue. During this phase, East Howard Avenue will be closed to all traffic between North Candler Street (at the Dairy Queen) and Church Street.
Starting next week, on-street parking will be available on Church Street and traffic will again run in both directions, except for the area closest to the CSX railroad. Download a schematic plan illustrating temporary traffic changes here.
Following completion of the work on East Howard, Reeves will start installing the new storm sewer north from East Maple towards East Trinity Place.
