City Services: Properties are served by all city services.
Traffic Impact: The traffic impact for the project was determined by looking at a
convenience store with gas sales using 8 pumps. Talbotton road is scheduled to
be widened within the next year. This segment will be four lane, which will
change the level of service (LOS) to B. Projections have this section dropping
to a LOS of C. This would take it to the current level of service we see
today. This site is compliant with all the new right-of-way (ROW) for the
Talbotton Road improvement and is in compliance with GDOT setbacks from the
future right-of-way.

streets and help alleviate any traffic backups or impacts on the major arterial
