Addendum to Phase I Archaeological Survey of Warm Springs Road Bike Trail, Muscogee County, Georgia

A GDOT archaeological report short form for negative findings for the Addendum to Phase I Archaeological Survey of Warm Springs Road Bike Trail, Muscogee County, Georgia. The project would begin at the terminus of the proposed Riverwalk 14th Street Pedestrian Bridge Project, approximately 475 feet west of the intersection of 14th Street with Broadway in downtown Columbus. The trail would travel east on 14th Street and would continue north on 6th Avenue. The trail would turn east on Linwood Boulevard and would turn north on 10th Avenue. Approximately 150 feet north of the Medical Center Hospital Authority entrance, the trail would cross 10th Avenue on the former Georgia Midland and Gulf Railroad bed and would continue to the northeast across Comer Avenue and Southern Street to 24"' Street. The trail would leave the railroad bed and continue southeast on 24th Street and then north on 13th Avenue across Talbotton Street to continue back on the railroad bed. The trail would continue northeast, crossing I-185 on the existing railroad bridge to along Warm Springs Road at Columbus State University. The trail would continue across Warm Springs Road at an at-grade pedestrian crossing and then back along the railroad bed. The trail would cross University Avenue south of Manchester Expressway/SR 85/Alt 27. After crossing University Avenue, the trail would continue parallel and north of the railroad bed. The trail would continue east, and prior to crossing Old Reese Road would return to the railroad bed. After crossing Old Reese Road the trail would continue east on the railroad bed which runs parallel to Manchester Expressway/Alt 27/SR 85. The trail would cross to Warm Springs Road Connector, turn to the south and run on, the east side of Warm Springs Road Connector, across Milgen Road continuing on the east side of Cooper Creek Parkway to it's terminus at Cooper Creek Tennis Center. In urban areas, the majority of the trail would be 12-feet wide, constructed five feet from the edge of existing travel lanes. Some portions of the trail would be 10 feet wide and constructed along the back of curb due to existing constraints. The trail would be concrete in urban areas and asphalt in rural areas. The trail would also incorporate several infrastructure improvements along the route such as restroom facilities, parking areas, pedestrian bridges, street lighting, benches, trash receptacles, signage, and a Park-And-Ride facility for the City of Columbus' mass transit system. The trail would utilize the existing rail line bridges.
