DECATUR CITY SCHOOL SYSTEM @ 5 SCHOOLS - SRTS

complete

The purpose of project is to provide a continuous and ADA compliant sidewalk system along the following 2 roadway intersection: E. Ponce de Leon Ave. at Sycamore Place and Commerce Dr. at Sycamore Place. The construction of ADA compliant ramps and crosswalks along existing segments of sidewalks would provide further enhancements along these intersections. Providing a safer and continuous sidewalk system would encourage greater pedestrian usage within this area of DeKalb County. The project is intended to promote walking and bicycling by students living within a two-mile radius of a school. Outside of promoting walking and bicycling for the students in the vicinity, the desired outcomes of the SRTS infrastructure project include increased health and fitness for students, as well as accessibility and environmental benefits for the community at large through the installation of sidewalks, crosswalks, and signage. In addition, proposed bicycle racks will be provided.
