CR 1132/FRANKLIN RD FM TWINBROOKS DR TO LAS COLINAS APTS-LCI

complete

The proposed project would provide pedestrian enhancements along Franklin Road from Twin Brooks Drive to the Las Colinas Apartments (861 Franklin Road) in the City of Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia. The project would include intersection improvements, the construction of an 18-foot landscaped median (7-foot raised median and 11-foot turn lane where required), the provision of an 18-foot-wide shoulder with a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail on the eastern side of the roadway, and the provision of a 12-foot-wide shoulder with a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on the western side of the roadway. The proposed typical section would include 24-inch curb and gutter and grassed buffer strip on both sides of the roadway. Lane widths along Franklin Road would be reduced from 12 feet to 11 feet to minimize right-ofway (ROW) impacts associated with the proposed improvements. Landscaping and street/pedestrian lighting are also proposed along both shoulders.
