The proposed project is part of the Georgia Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program, which was established to fund infrastructure projects that enable and encourage children, including those with disabilities, to walk and bicycle to school safely. These projects are designed not only to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and access in and near school zones, but also to encourage children to adopt healthy and active lifestyle activities from an early age. The infrastructure improvements included in this proposed project would be undertaken within existing right-of-way and would be implemented at the following locations: Appling Middle School and King-Danforth Elementary Sidewalks with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramps on Eastview Avenue, Sulphur Springs Road and Walnut Creek Road from Shurling Drive to Mafiel Drive. Crosswalks and stop bars at intersections on Eastview Avenue, Sulphur Springs Road and Walnut Creek Road. Multi-use trail from Dublin and Sparkle Avenues intersection to King-Danforth Elementary School. Six solar-powered radar speed signs with software at Shurling Drive, Maynard Street and Fort Hill Street.
