The proposed project would consist of directional boring and installation of TY 3 strain poles for cameras within the existing shoulders of the roadway of Old Peachtree Road from Sugarloaf Parkway to Dean Road and along Sever Road from Old Peachtree Road to North Brown Road. Conduit, poles, and pull boxes would be placed within existing right-of-way (ROW) in the shoulder of the road. The directional boring would involve boring beneath the road to reach the other side. The shoulder work would involve the installation of pull boxes and conduit and would utilize existing conduit and pull boxes where possible. The overall project length along Old Peachtree Road from Sugarloaf Parkway to Dean Road is approximately 3.3 miles. The project length along Sever Road is approximately 0.4 miles. Ground disturbance will extend approximately 2 to 5 feet beyond the toe of the road slope. In consultation with GDOT, the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for this project was determined to include all existing ROW along the project corridor extending 20 feet outside of the toe of slope on either side of the roadway. Existing ROW varies between 80ft. along two-lane roadway with grass median, 160ft. along two-lane roadway with turning lanes, and 1,000 ft. at the I-85/0ld Peachtree Road Interchange.
