Abstract

As part of construction coordination with the City of Powder Springs, some minor modification to the proposed improvements within the boundaries of the Powder Springs Park. The following text details the proposed project description in this area as presented in the January 26, 2006 approved Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI):The existing intersection of Lewis Road and Long Street would be realigned approximately 500 feet to the south of the existing intersection. Long Street would be extended on new alignment to provide a new entrance into Powder Springs Park. The roadway would consist of two 11-foot travel lanes with graded shoulders. The Long Street extension would terminate at a new paved parking lot to be constructed in the park, which would provide 30 parking spaces. A proposed 12-foot wide multi-use path would be constructed parallel and adjacent to the Long Street extension until it reaches a point within the park where it would diverge from the Long Street extension and connect to an existing concrete walkway within the park. As a result of the previously noted construction coordination, the following modifications to the approved project have been proposed: a greater shift of the parking slightly clockwise to avoid an existing batting cage, with minor alteration of alignment from previously proposed footprint modification of the 12-foot multi-use path to run parallel to the extension of Long Street its entire length to the proposed parking lot, the multi-use path trail would be shortened and would terminate at the southwest edge of the proposed parking lot, and a seven-foot sidewalk would be constructed to run along the northern edge of the proposed parking lot before turning north and connecting into the existing sidewalk system of the park.
