Background
Buena Vista Road is a major east / west arterial . This corridor was
programmed in the
Transportation Improvement Program in the early 90's for widening from two (2)
lanes to four (4) lanes. During
the past several years, the traffic volumes have decreased along this section
of Buena Vista Road and requires
that a new study be performed.
Analysis
The completion of this study will determine what type of improvements will need
to be
made to this section of Buena Vista Road.
Financial Considerations
Cost of the study is $60,000.00 and will be funded through the use of State L230
transportation funds ($48,000.00), which requires a 20 percent match
($12,000.00). The 20% local match has been
identified in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
The study will determine future improvements to this
corridor. Costs associated with this project will be determined at a later
date.
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has approved this action.
Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a
contractual agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation to accept
State L230 Transportation
Funds to conduct a study on the Buena Vista Road Corridor.
