Background
In 2011, the City, GDOT and Gateways Columbus completed the revamping of the
I-185 and Victory Drive interchange. This beautification effort has become a
major focal point for locals and visitors as they travel to and from Fort
Benning.
Analysis
As with projects of this type, general maintenance is required on an annual
basis to replace trees, missing and dead plants, and to provide additional
irrigation where needed. This grant will allow the city and Gateways Columbus
to maintain and upgrade necessary landscaping items at this interchange.
Financial Considerations
GDOT will provide $205,000 as a one time grant for these general maintenance
items. No match is required from the city to receive these funds.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
The City will be responsible for future maintenance of this interchange.
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the MOA as to form.
Recommendations/ Actions
Approve the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum
of Agreement (MOA) with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for
general maintenance improvements to the interchange at I-185 and Victory Drive.
