STATE UNIVERSITY DRIVE IN FORT VALLEY

complete

This project will construct streetscape improvements and widen approximately one quarter mile of State University Drive in the vicinity of Fort Valley State University (FVSU). Currently, only a portion of State University Drive has a 2-lane, center turn lane configuration with sidewalks. This project will widen a portion of this roadway, creating a 2-lane, center turn lane configuration to match the other section of the roadway. The project will provide a system of sidewalks and crosswalks between downtown Fort Valley and FVSU. For the portion of State University Drive that has an existing sidewalk and 3-lane roadway, the project will add median landscaping to create a safer and more walkable environment for the university's growing student population and the residents of Fort Valley. This project encourages greater pedestrian and bicycle usage along the State Street corridor through Complete Streets improvements.
