Project 16: Prince Avenue Corridor Improvements
Prince Avenue 3-Lane Pilot Project Installation Update
The Athens-Clarke County Unified Government (ACCGov) installed a pilot project beginning in mid-September to change the locally-controlled area of Prince Avenue from a four-lane vehicle road with two vehicle lanes in each direction to a three-lane vehicle road with one vehicle lane in each direction, a center turning lane, two separated bike lanes, and other safety features. The pilot project runs for approximately a half mile from just east of North Milledge Avenue to Pulaski Street.
An interactive map provides maps of the corridor; details and photos of the new features; before-and-after comparisons of sections of the roadway; project history; and other corridor information.
A 60-day study period ended on November 23.
A Mayor and Commission Work Session is scheduled for Tuesday, December 6 at 5:00 PM that will discuss the results of the pilot project and information about reversing the project or making it permanent. The meeting will take place at City Hall and will be streamed live online and on ACTV Cable Channel 180.
