City of Atlanta Proposed 2015 Infrastructure Bond Public Feedback Date Proposed Project Area Comment 9/12/2014 10th and Monroe The intersection of 10th and Monroe should have the signals redone. It is the intersection between Piedmont Park and the Eastside Trail, it has a lot of pedestrian activity, and yet pedestrians have very low signal priority at this intersection. 9/12/2014 10th and Myrtle Street It would be great to get better pedestrian crossing visibility at the intersections 10th has with Argonne and Myrtle. These are heavily used by people going to the park and very dangerous. Something like what was just put in on Monroe near the new park entrance would be most welcome--at either spot! 9/12/2014 10th and Myrtle Street This project is essential. There is too much foot traffic in the area to have a dangerous pedestrian intersection like this. 10/13/2014 10th and Northside The intersection of 10th and Northside needs left turn arrows for traffic turning from 10th on to Northside in both directions. The lack of arrows really backs up traffic.10th has been resurfaced several times from Hemphill to State over the last decade, but the same issues re- occur in the same placed time and time again. Please ensure that whatever is done provides a more permanent fix to the problem. 9/12/2014 10th Street 10th Street is in a bad state. Resurfacing needs to take place from Howell Mill Rd. to the 85/75 connecter. The transitions at intersections need leveling as well. 9/12/2014 10th Street 10th Street offers a second way to access the howell mill corridor but the subsurface conditions are so poor that the road continually fails 9/18/2014 10th Street near Georgia Over near the Georgia Tech side 10th street badly needs resurfacing. Tech Lots of bike commuters. Could use some sharrows at least, separated bike lanes would be even better. 9/12/2014 14th Street Is there any way to add *sidewalks* to the improvements on this stretch? They're in total disrepair in some spots, and non-existent in other parts. It's actually quite dangerous for pedestrians to walk from Howell Mill to Northside on this stretch of 14th. 9/12/2014 14th Street Need better pedestrian options along 14th street especially near Howell Mill and Northside. 9/12/2014 14th Street This length of 14th has several sever raised bumps that need to be removed. 9/18/2014 14th Street Safe well lit walkways and bike paths are needed. Encouraging locals and visitors to walk and bike in an area that is increasingly becoming more dense will go a long way to creating a more livable community experience and go a long way to supporting the local businesses investing in the area. 9/18/2014 14th Street Synchronize traffic lights! 9/26/2014 14th Street This is badly needed but should also include sidewalk improvements. This area is now heavily trafficked with both cars and pedestrians. 10/13/2014 14th Street 16th street nearby between West Peachtree and Spring St needs to be repaved before this is done. It is in terrible shape. Please repave 16th street ! 10/13/2014 14th Street Resurfacing the road is the minimum that needs to happen here. I agree with Chris Palmer--the sidewalks are extremely dangerous. The congestion down this corridor is crippling. When traffic is at its worst it is quicker to walk (despite the crappy sidewalks) than drive from Midtown to Howell Mill. This is the type of back-up that will discourage patrons from visiting businesses on the Westside. 11/17/2014 1 of 106 City of Atlanta Proposed 2015 Infrastructure Bond Public Feedback Date Proposed Project Area Comment 10/13/2014 14th Street This stretch desperately needs sidewalk improvements as well. Also, PLEASE add a traffic light and pedestrian crosswalk at the corner of Howell Mill and Brady. Currently, this intersection is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists without them. Thank you! 10/13/2014 14th Street We need more than resurfacing. Resurfacing will not solve the problem. The new development on the corner should not have been approved before considering traffic created. We need the streets to be widened to add more lanes, turn lanes and turn signals. 10/13/2014 14th Street While we're at it, let's make this a complete street. Bike facilities please. 10/13/2014 14th Street and White The 14th Street intersection needs more than a new traffic signal. Provisions and Howell Mill The City needs to consider turning the northbound lane of Howell Mill (between 11th and 14th) into a common turn lane. It would be insufficient to place evening restrictions on left turns from Howell Mill into the 14th Street entrance of White Provision, as the issue arises throughout the day. The common lane would also address the increased traffic for the new Sunlow and Iron Works developments, which will drastically increase the number of left turns by cars heading southbound on Howell Mill. Finally, it is unclear if this plan includes a traffic signal at Brady and Howell Mill. I have witnessed more than a handful of accidents at this intersection. Once Sunlow opens, the intersection will pose unacceptable dangers for pedestrians trying to cross Howell Mill. The traffic on the Howell Mill corridor is already a disincentive to visit our great neighborhood. The City must addressed these concerns to keep our residents safe and our businesses prosperous. 9/26/2014 3rd Street Gravel roads make fantastic bioswales. Stop paving, save money, improve drainage. 9/26/2014 3rd Street why spend millions to pave more? when we build new houses we can't pave the driveway - why pave the street? Gravel roads make great bioswales. 10/7/2014 5th Street Complete Street MA supports 5th St, Piedmont Ave to Williams St. (repaved and restriped, bike lanes, sidewalks to be ADA compliant, drainiage structures) 9/26/2014 6th Street Sorry to spam all of these but gravel roads are existing bioswales. Stop paving, save money, improve drainage. 9/26/2014 Abernathy Sidewalk Abernathy Blvd, between Stokes Avenue and Westview Drive, Replacement Program desperately needs sidewalk improvements. The pedestrian conditions are hazardous with broken sidewalks in some places, missing sidewalks in others. Near the intersection of Abernathy and Lucile the sidewalk is at level with the street - on many occasions cars cut the curve by driving on the sidewalk. This is extremely dangerous for pedestrians.At the Phase 1 infrastructure meeting one of the options was to "match funding with other programs"; with GDOT preparing to repave Abernathy please consider this an opportunity of matched funding by redoing streetscape improvements outlined in the 2011 adopted Westview Neighborhood Master Plan. 9/26/2014 Abernathy Sidewalk Please match GDOT's repaving funding by doing sidewalk and Replacement Program streetscape improvements along Abernathy between Westview and Stokes. 11/17/2014 2 of 106 City of Atlanta Proposed 2015 Infrastructure Bond Public Feedback Date Proposed Project Area Comment 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Agree that this is a huge bucket of money for what I'm guessing is a Program lot of little projects. I'd love to know the current planning processes of the program & typical costs. 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Can we have a more detailed list of where this and the $25M funds Program would go? 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Can we have a more itemized list of where this $25M would be Program going? 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Does this mean that COA will be redoing ramps already built that are Program not in compliance with ADA? If yes, hopefully this time you folks will actually figure out how to design and construct an ADA compliant ramp. Most of what I have seen built here isn't even close 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement How is this different than the other $25 million dollar project? This is Program a lot of money to be allocated in bulk without knowing how the current program operates & how it will be spent. 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement I sure hope we get a detailed breakdown on what exactly $25 Program MILLION is being used for. Could be pretty easy for some money to slip through the cracks... 9/12/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Great to see funding for ADA compliance. There appears to be two Program identical line items - "ADA Ramp Replacement Program" with different amounts of money. Are these for different purposes? 9/26/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement Critical that we spend on ADA. City could be sued for every violation Program potentially costing substantially more than $25MM or $11MM. Agree that the projects need to be identified and, most importantly, managed so they're done right the first time. It's not complicated but it does require following guidelines. 10/3/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement +1 for a distinction between the $25M and $11M line items. Those Program are the largest items, they are duplicates, and the are also arguably the most vague. 10/3/2014 ADA Ramp Replacement What is the difference between the $25 million program and the $11 Program million program? 9/26/2014 Adams Park Recreation These are crucial needs for this facility and community. Center 9/26/2014 Adams Park Recreation ADA violations are no joke. City could be sued for many times what Center these improvements would cost. Save money while doing the right thing! 9/26/2014 Adams Park Recreation Must comply with the ADA regulations! Also, a facility of this size with Center league play needs a concession/restroom area...it would make it marketable for other events and revenue to the city.
