Abstract

The selected alternative for PI No. 0003770 would widen and reconstruct Glade Road (CR 633) in Bartow County from Homestead Drive (CR 605)/Apache Drive (CR 377) to Ryan Road (CR 8 10)Nacht Club Road (CR 386). These limits would include a distance of approximately 3.7 miles. The existing roadway consists of two 12-foot travel lanes (one in each direction) on approximately 60 feet of ROW. The proposed project would improve the roadway to meet 35 mile per hour (mph) American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design speed. This would require horizontal and vertical realignment in several areas in order to meet the speed design. A rural two-lane section would be used throughout the project limits. The proposed typical section would consist of two 12-foot travel lanes (one in each direction) with an eight-foot rural shoulder (two feet paved) on the west side and a 14-foot rural shoulder with two-feet paved and a 5-foot sidewalk on the east side. The proposed ROW width would be approximately 80 feet. Easements up to a maximum of II 0 feet in width would be required along both side of Glade Road. Driveway easements extending a maximum of 40 feet beyond the ROW or easements would also be required. An additional easement of approximately 5.7 acres would be required from within the USACE property. Existing intersections at connecting streets would be upgraded as necessary to better accommodate access to and from these side streets. These improvements on the side streets would be limited to adjustments to grade and skew in order to provide for adequate stopping and intersection sight distances. Capacity analyses of the intersections indicate that the addition of tum lanes would not be required to provide adequate operational level of service. The project limits along the cross streets would vary up to a maximum distance of approximately 250 feet from Glade Road. The next phase scheduled for construction, PI No. 0012599, would improve a 2,200-foot section of Glade Road from Wildflower Trail (CR 786), just north of Clark Circle (CR 708), to just north of Camp Drive. A future phase of the project, PI No. 0013321, would include the replacement of the existing 263 foot long by 27-foot wide Glade Road Bridge over Allatoona Lake between Misty Valley Drive (CR 549) and Brandy Lane (CR 794). The proposed bridge would be permanently realigned approximately 90 feet east of the existing bridge location. The proposed bridge would be approximately 600 feet long and 40 feet wide to accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes with 8 foot shoulders. There are 20 previously recorded sites within a 1-kilometer radius of the survey area.
