Project P.I. Nos. 0007838, 0007843, 0007844, 0008357, and 121690 will improve and widen State Route (SR) 9 from Windward Parkway in Fulton County to SR 20 in Forsyth County. The existing SR 9 corridor consists primarily of two travel lanes with a variable right-of-way (ROW) width between 70 and 200 feet (ft) (21.3 and 61 meters[m]) along the corridor. Along the corridor, the shoulders vary between urban with sidewalks, curb and-gutter, and rural grassed shoulders. The proposed typical section would provide four travel lanes separated by a variable width raised median, and include either 5 ft (l .5 m) sidewalks or an 8 to 10 ft (2.4 to 3m) multi-use trail and urban shoulders. The proposed sidewalk and multi-use path accommodations for P.I. Nos. 0007843 and 0007844 include a 5-ft (l .5 m) sidewalk. The proposed ROW width would vary between 75 and 496 ft (22.9 and 151.2 m). The total length of the project corridor for P.I. Nos. 0007843 and 0007844 is approximately 3.3 miles (mi) (5.3 kilometers [km]). The following reevaluation is for changes in ROW and/or easements that have occurred for Pl Nos. 0007843 and 0007844 since previous studies were completed. Only Pl Nos. 0007843 and 0007844 are being evaluated at this time in order to progress these portions of the SR 9 project corridor to construction letting. Reevaluations for Pl Nos. 0007838, 0008357, and 121690 will be conducted separately in the future as final plans for these individual projects become available.
