Agenda Vote
Description:
The Atlanta Regional Commission programmed $25 million of MARTA capital funds in return for funding MARTA Operations in 2009. The City of Roswell is eligible to program $1,674,500 in capital improvements that enhance or augment the existing MARTA bus service in the City of Roswell. Staff has drafted four Intergovernmental Agreements totaling $1,674,500 in capital improvements.
This is the third of four IGAs with MARTA. The pedestrian safety improvement consists of installing a High-Intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) beacon near the intersection of Alpharetta Street (SR 9/120) and Thomas Drive/Strickland Road.
Attachment: Intergovernmental Project Agreement between City of Roswell, GA and MARTA
The IGA project budget is $100,000. There is no city match. The IGA must be signed by the Mayor and MARTA.
Comments:
This project will require extensive coordination with GDOT. We recommend installing this one as a test to see how well it works in conjunction with the Midtown Roswell Streetscape.
