Streetscape Work Update
The next phase of public roadwork construction in this area will involve the installation of conduit for electrical and other services in Clayton Street in order to provide services to new traffic lights, streetlights, and other services.
The conduit will be installed in the roadway and in some areas of the current sidewalk and future sidewalk areas. Currently, the plan involves starting at the North Lumpkin Street side and proceeding to Thomas Street, although it is subject to change.
The project is expected to begin after Georgia Power's work is completed and during Atlanta Gas Light's efforts and is expected to take several months to complete. Unlike the stormwater infrastructure project that took place in two phases - a pre-dig phase and an installation phase - the conduit installation will take place in one phase.
Some streetscape work is expected to begin in approximately six weeks, after Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light work is largely completed and after conduit installation has been completed for part of the corridor.
Overall, streetscape work is expected to take ~18 months and will be completed in sections.
The Astra Group was selected in summer 2019 to work on the pre-planning, coordination of utility conflict resolution, and construction of the streetscape component of the project.
Our ACCGov project ambassador, Mr. Dana Garrison, has started transitioning into place as work effort ramps up and will work as a business liaison for the entire project.
The entire streetscape effort includes underground infrastructure needed to support items such as street lights and traffic signals, as well as hardscape surface elements such as curb and gutter, sidewalk replacement, and other above-ground elements such as landscaping, bike racks, benches, lights, public art, and other items.
- Some initial streetscape work such as surveying and "potholing" for new traffic signal locations took place in April 2020.
- Work is expected to largely be done in sections by block along the corridor.
- The initial work will involve the demolition of existing streetscape and the replacement to 75-80% of completion.
- Pedestrian paths will be maintained during these times.
- Final completion to 100% - landscaping and paving - will be done towards the end of the project in larger segments.
