Mr. Robert Carson

64 Clearview Circle

Columbus, Georgia 31907



Subject: Clearview Circle

One-way Traffic Circulation



Dear Mr. Carson:



The City works with Columbus State University to assist in managing

traffic in and around the college campus. Several times, we requested your

input on the proposal to create a one-way traffic pattern around Clearview

Circle. The one-way pattern would operate in a counter-clockwise direction

beginning at the point that Clearview Circle intersects itself and ending again

at the same intersection (please refer to the attached map). The first 430

feet + from University Avenue to the CSU parking lot driveway just past

Clearview Circle intersection would remain two-way traffic.



The benefits of this one-way operation are safer egress from driveways since

motorists would have to watch for traffic in only one direction, safer

pedestrian crossings, provide more on-street parking and should reduce accident

potential. The Engineering Department is recommending to Columbus Council on

Tuesday, September 16, 2003 to enact an ordinance to create the one-way

operation around Clearview Circle. All ordinances require two readings before

Council with the first reading being the public hearing and the second (the

following Tuesday) being the date that the ordinance is approved/denied.



Hence, we are inviting you to the September 16th Council meeting that starts at

9:00 AM to voice your comments for or against the one-way proposal. Richard

Bishop, our Deputy City Manager, will also be glad to discuss this proposal

with you prior to the Council Meeting. You may contact him by phone at

706-653-4441 by fax at 706-653-4439 or by e-mail at rbishop@columbusga.org. We

look forward to hearing from you.



Cordially,





Ronald S. Hamlett

Traffic Engineer/Division Manager
