Columbus Government issues public meeting notice for major upcoming roadway projects
COLUMBUS, Ga. () — The Columbus Consolidated Government has issued a public meeting notice to provide details and gather feedback on two major infrastructure projects.
The meeting will be on Monday, June 9 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Annex Building located at 420 10th Street.
Street Rehabilitation – Broadway from 4th to 5th StreetThe project consists of upgrading the sanitary sewer and stormwater collection system. Other local utility systems will be able to upgrade their systems at this time. The existing brick pavers will be removed and replaced as part of this project. Driveways and sidewalks will be reconnected during this project.
8th Street Improvements from Front Avenue to Veterans ParkwayThe purpose of this project is to implement traffic calming measures to make 8th Street more pedestrian friendly. The proposed improvements include raised crosswalks in all four directions at the intersection of 8th Street and 1st Avenue and the intersection of 8th Street and 3rd Avenue. A mini roundabout is proposed at the intersection of 8th Street and 2nd Avenue. Additionally, ADA accessible curb cuts (aka wheelchair ramps) will be installed or modified throughout the project limits, and sidewalk connectivity to bus stops will be added. All work will take place within existing right of way limits, and traffic calming measures will take place within the existing curb lines. Proposed construction materials (i.e. colored concrete, pavers, etc.) will be installed to resemble the colors and patterns of existing materials in the Columbus Historic District.
The City encourages all residents, business owners, and stakeholders to attend the meeting, learn about the upcoming improvements, and share their feedback.
