The proposed project would improve operational efficiency at the intersection of Crabapple Road and Broadwell Road in the city of Milton in Fulton County, Georgia. The proposed project would improve turning movements, and provide an alternate route between Birmingham Highway and Crabapple Road.
The existing intersection at Crabapple Road and Broadwell Road is signalized. All legs to the intersection consist of two 10 foot travel lanes, with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph). The existing ROW varies from 50 to 100 feet along Crabapple Road, Broadwell Road, and Birmingham Highway. The proposed project would consist of two approximately 11 foot travel lanes at each leg of the intersection, with left turn lanes on Broadwell Road, Birmingham Highway, and Crabapple Road. Shoulder widths would be 6.5 feet to 18 feet wide, and contain five foot to eight foot wide sidewalks. Proposed ROW would vary from 60 to 100 feet along Crabapple Road, Broadwell Road, and Birmingham Highway.
Roundabouts would be constructed at McFarlin Lane at Birmingham Highway north of the signalized intersection, and Crabapple Chase Drive at Crabapple Road west of the intersection. Roundabouts would be an urban section with a 10 foot sidewalk. The inscribed diameter for the McFarlin Lane at Birmingham Highway is 130 feet, the inscribed diameter for the Crabapple Road at Crabapple Chase Drive is 165 feet.
To improve connectivity within the city of Milton, improvements would be made to McFarlin Lane and Lecoma Trace between two proposed roundabouts and north of Crabapple Road and west of Birmingham Highway. The new connection would be called Branyon Trail. Existing McFarlin Lane would intersect with the new Branyon Trail at the intersection west of Birmingham Highway. The proposed improvements would consist of two 11 foot travel lanes, one in each direction, with a median with a maximum width of 14 feet. It would also include five foot to ten foot sidewalks with a five foot to seven foot wide grass strip. All pedestrian improvements, sidewalks, crosswalks, and striping would comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The proposed project length would be approximately 1.2 miles.
