Alexander Street Widening & Sidewalks - Roswell Street to Washington Avenue
The Alexander Street Improvements project will increase the roadway width to allow for two 11 foot lanes between Roswell Street and Washington Avenue Curb and gutter will be installed and the existing drainage system will be replaced and upgraded to handle the current rainfall and runoff. Pedestrian lighting and a new 5 foot brick sidewalk will also be installed on both sides of Alexander Street in the project limits. Full depth asphalt will be used to replace the existing roadway as it is in poor condition and failed road strength testing.

Project Completion
This project has been completed.
Annual Sidewalk & Multi-Use Trail
General funding used to maintain existing sidewalks and ADA ramps that are in need of repair or replacement. This fund is also used to upgrade any existing ramps that do not meet ADA requirements and install new ramps at locations needing ADA access.
Bridge Rehabilitation
Repair of weight restricted bridges.
Cherokee Street at Cherry Street - Intersection Improvements
This intersection improvement project is located near the high traffic Kennestone Hospital area and will help improve the overall functionality of the Cherokee Street and Cherry Street intersection. This project will help alleviate the backup of vehicles making left turns from Cherry Street onto Cherokee Street and will also improve the turning movement for vehicles making right turns from Canton Road onto Cherokee Street. New mast arms, sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping will also be installed to improve pedestrian safety and provide a nice look to the area.
Engineering is to begin late 2013 with an anticipated construction start in 2015.
Cobb Parkway at North Marietta Parkway - Intersection Improvements
This intersection improvement project will relieve the large amount of eastbound traffic congestion on North Marietta Parkway by installing a new dedicated right turn lane for vehicles turning southbound on Cobb Parkway. A retaining wall will need to be installed to allow for the widening of the proposed right turn lane. Currently, there is no pedestrian access at this intersection.
This project will provide new ADA ramps, pedestrian lighting, and crosswalks for all 4 legs of the intersection. Engineering is currently underway and construction is estimated to begin in early 2015.

Cobb Parkway at White Circle - Deceleration Lane
This intersection improvement project will add a right turn lane for northbound traffic on Cobb Parkway turning onto White Circle. This right turn lane will provide added safety from rear end accidents on the higher speed limit Cobb Parkway. A dedicated right turn lane will also be installed on White Circle for turning onto Cobb Parkway northbound. Additional crosswalk striping will be included as well as sidewalk access to the bus shelter just north of White Circle.
Engineering is complete and this project is awaiting funding.
