Guidance
Description:
At the March 2, 2011 Community Development and Transportation Committee meeting, Council authorized staff to move forward with design and construction on two of four additional medians. Staff was directed to continue working with the adjacent property owners on the remaining two (Islands #4 and #5).
Subsequently staff was able to come to an agreement with the adjacent property owners and/or their authorized representative for two additional medians as per Council direction and as required by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
As revised, a 25 foot median island is to be 25 feet south of the driveway for lot #37 owned by Soon, Ja Kim and Kon Kim. And a 40 foot median island will be located adjacent to lot #47 owned by Ali Jasim as well as Smith tire (letters attached).
Staff recommends proceeding with design and construction on two additional medians (Islands #4 and #5) for a new total of seven midtown medians.
