Guidance
Description:
The design for the previously approved MARTA Offset Sidewalk Improvements along SR 120 near the Square area is near completion. Prior to receiving final GDOT approval, staff identified additional crosswalk improvements at the intersection that can be added to the MARTA Offset Project.
The project currently includes constructing sidewalks along the north side of SR 120, between Mimosa Blvd and the Bulloch Hall driveway. It also includes sidewalks in front of the Barrington Hall wall along SR 120 and SR 9. The additional improvement would reduce the length of two crosswalks, which improves pedestrian safety.
It would also slow vehicles making right-turns at the intersection of SR 120 @ Mimosa Boulevard by reducing the turning radius at each corner. A side benefit is the ability to gain ten on-street parking spaces.
GDOT and the Roswell Recreation and Parks Department support the additional improvements.
