Georgia DOT
approves another intersection improvement
Evermore CID will fund additional mast arms and street signs
The Evermore CID initially secured
inclusion in the median project enhancements at 15 signalized
intersections on U.S. 78. The Georgia DOT (GDOT) will replace the
existing poles, span wire, and signals at each intersection along
U.S. 78 with decorative, fluted black posts; horizontal mast arms
(at 13 of the 15 intersections); upgraded signals; and illuminated
street signs.
Once the construction began, the CID
became aware that GDOT also planned work at the intersection of
Rockbridge Road and Sharp Trail. The Evermore CID requested that the
additional intersection receive the same enhanced signal supports
and signage as those on U.S. 78. After evaluating the request, GDOT
has agreed to install the upgraded materials at the additional
intersection and the Evermore CID will fund the incremental cost.
Illuminated street signs at
intersections will be back-lit to improve visibility during evening
hours
and include the Evermore leaf logo.
In several other locations along the U.S. 78
corridor, the Evermore CID has funded decorative street furniture
including benches and trash receptacles.
