The proposed project consists of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements for students, parents and teachers within the vicinity of Cheatham Hill Elementary School and Kincaid Elementary School in Marietta, Georgia. These improvements include installation of new sidewalks which connect to existing sidewalks, and improvements to sidewalks in need of repair or replacement. Crosswalks, signage, and ADA compliant wheelchair ramps will also be provided where necessitated by crossings. All improvements will be constructed within existing right-of-way (ROW). On Irwin Road the existing ROW is approximately 40-80 feet. Along Kincaid Road the existing ROW is approximately 40 feet. Near Cheatham Hill Elementary School, construction/improvements include new sidewalk connecting intermittent sidewalk along the south side of Irwin Road between Wilkes Way and Irwin Lake and along the north side of Irwin Road beginning at Irwin Lake and ending at existing sidewalk approximately 300 feet northwest of Bondford Pass. The existing Irwin Road Bridge over Noses Creek will be widened by 8 feet to allow for a 5 foot minimum sidewalk. Near Kincaid Elementary School, construction/improvements include new sidewalk along the south side of Kincaid Road beginning at Mirrabeau Court and ending at Sandy Plains Road, and installation of a raised mid-block crosswalk west of Ridgewood Court with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons as an additional crossing warning for motorists. The total length of new sidewalk near Kincaid Elementary would be approximately 3,210 feet.
