The proposed project is located along Glenwood Road in DeKalb County from approximately 900 feet east of State Route (SR) 155lCandier Road to United States (US) 278/SR121 Covington Highway. The gross project length is approximately 3.98 miles, with 0.29 miles of exception at the 1-285 interchange project, for a net project length of 3.69 miles. P.I. No. 0002415 would extend from approximately 900 feet east of SR 155lCandler Road to Columbia Drive for a length of 1.90 miles. P.I. No. 0010176 would extend from Columbia Drive to US 278lSR 12ICovington Highway for a length of approximately 2.08 miles. The project would consist of improving pedestrian access along Glenwood Road by adding new sidewalks or improving existing sidewalks along the corridor. Wheelchair ramps at driveways and intersections would be added; ramps would be compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) to the maximum extent feasible. The proposed typical section would be a 10-foot to 16-foot urban shoulder, including 2-foot stamped concrete buffer and 5-foot sidewalk behind existing or proposed 24-inch curb and gutter or 6-foot sidewalk behind existing or proposed 24-inch curb and gutter. It is expected that the majority of the existing curb would be replaced. Retaining walls would also be used at a number of locations along the project length. The proposed speed limit for Glenwood Road would remain 40 mph and the proposed right-ofway (ROW) would vary from 65 to 95 feet.
