The project will upgrade equipment, accommodate pedestrians, and update pedestrian facilities at nine intersections in order to meet current American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The intersections will be upgraded to meet GDOT and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. The intersection improvements will include replacing signal poles with new mast arms or strain poles, LED vehicular and pedestrian signal heads, new vehicle detection and signal control equipment. The intersections will be made ADA compliant with new wheelchair ramps and crosswalks. The Office of Traffic Operations has justified these upgrades based on the following deficiencies: pedestrian accommodations, ADA compliance, old conductor cable, 332 cabinet w/2070, support poles/mast arms, utility issues, and signal interconnect.
The nine intersections in this project are: 1) SR9/20 & Castleberry Road/West Courthouse Square; 2) SR 9 & Veterans Memorial Boulevard; 3) SR 9 & Tribble Gap Road; 4) SR 9 & Dahlonega Street; 5) SR 20 & Spot Road Connector; 6) SR 20 & Doc Bramlett Road; 7) SR 369 & Bannister Road/John Burrus Road; 8) SR 369 & Little Mill Road; and 9) SR 306 & Jot Em Down Road (See Attachment). For the purposes of reporting, the intersections are often referred to using the associated number in the list above.
