Phase I Archaeological Survey of the East Point Intersection Upgrades and Streetscaping Improvements, Fulton County, Georgia

The proposed project would consist of upgrading intersections and streetscapes in downtown East Point, Georgia to include provisions for continuous bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as well as to improve travel operations of the corridors proposed for enhancement.

The City of East Point Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study has identified a need in the area for improvements that would enhance multi-modal connectivity, streetscape, gateway features, place-making, and traffic calming. The area of the proposed project contains approximately 11 acres in downtown East Point and is roughly bounded by Cleveland Avenue to the north; United States Highway (US) 29 North/State Route (SR) 139/Main Street to the east; Washington Avenue to the south; and US 29 South/SR 139/East Point Street and Church Street to the west (see attached Project Location Map). This area also includes the cross streets between East Point Street and Main Street (from north to south): Cleveland Avenue, White Way, Thompson Avenue, Dorsey Avenue, Washington Avenue, and Legion Way. The proposed bicycle accommodations would be provided within the existing right-of-way (ROW). The streetscape improvements proposed would potentially include planting strips and landscaping. There are existing sidewalks in the area that would be improved by the proposed project by reconstruction or widening as needed. Intersections or curb cuts selected for improvement would be treated with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance measures. There is also the possibility for High-Intensity Activated crosswalks (HAWK) signal applications as well. The existing ROW of US 29 North/SR 139/Main Street is between 45 and 87 feet. Existing ROW of US 29 South/SR 139/East Point Street is between 50 feet and 56 feet. The implementation of the proposed project may require ROW miters or easements at existing intersections, but the amounts have yet to be determined.
