Abstract

The proposed project consists of pedestrian infrastructure improvements within the vicinity of Lewiston Elementary School, in Evans, Georgia. These improvements will improve accessibility for students and teachers walking and biking to school. All improvements would be constructed within the existing right-of-way. New sidewalk (approximately 800 feet long) would be constructed along River Birch Drive in front of Lewiston Elementary School. New sidewalk (approximately 250 feet long) would also be installed from the proposed sidewalk on River Birch Drive to the school entrances. On the east side of Hereford Farm Road, a Class B gravity retaining wall (approximately 150 feet long) and a new sidewalk (approximately 700 feet long) would be constructed from the intersection with River Birch Drive to the northern boundary of the school property line. Raised intersections would be installed across all three school driveways to increase driver visibility of crossing pedestrians. School zone pavement markings would be installed on Hereford Farm Road within the existing school zone, and bicycle racks would be installed at school entrances to provide storage for students cycling to school.
