Alton Tucker Blvd Extension. This project’s objective is to improve the intersection of Level Creek Rd and West Broad Street, as well as extending Alton Tucker to Highway 20 at the east end of the E Center property. The grading and gravel base for the extension to Highway 20 are substantially complete. New drainage structures, curb and gutter as well as a new section of the driveway to the E Center and The Landing are all installed. Work will soon begin on the intersection of Level Creek with West Broad St. This will necessitate a full closure in December of West Broad at that location as they complete the items associated with that area and the Level Creek intersection. Look for this project to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.
Street Repair and Resurfacing. We will be advertising a construction contract to perform the work for the 2024 LMIG street repair and resurfacing program. We recently applied for and received a grant for a portion of the funds required to complete this project. SPLOST receipts will fund a portion of this roadwork as well. The project is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2024.
These are the streets (in the Frontier Forest neighborhood) that will be repaved on this project (at the conclusion of the County’s water main replacement project):

Highway 20 Pedestrian Bridge. Design work is well underway. The general layout, size and construction materials have been decided. Next will be the aesthetics and the permitting with GDOT. Once those parameters are set, we can advertise for a construction partner. Anticipated completion date is early 2025.
Downtown Greenway/LCI Project. This project is funded by a grant from the Federal Highway Administration, so the process is a little different. The first step is to prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) from pre-qualified design firms. We have submitted that to GDOT, and once approved, we will be able to advertise for a design partner. It will provide an urban greenway connection from PIB/20 to Alton Tucker and then on back to Highway 20. The timeline will be determined once we have the design finished.
Whitehead Road Sidewalks. This project is in the beginning stages of design and Right of Way (ROW) acquisition. Once those items are completed, we will advertise for a construction partner. We anticipate a late-2024 completion date.
Northside Greenway. As part of their developments, Novare Sugar Hill, The Refinery by Prestwick and Hillcrest Landing are constructing over a half-mile of the Greenway to the North of Hwy 20 and along Hillcrest Dr. This will consist of a winding segment from Stanley St. through their developments and connecting to the sidewalk on Hillcrest Dr. at Brookdale Dr. Future segments will connect this area to the Richland Creek area. This portion of the project should be completed in 2024.
Hillcrest Dr. Sidewalks/Greenway Connection. This project will connect the Northside Greenway between The Refinery by Prestwick and Hillcrest Landing. This project should be completed early in 2024.
First Ave. (East) Sidewalks. This project initiated out of our 2018 Downtown LCI update will construct a 5’ sidewalk, curb and gutter on the south side of First Ave. from PIB to Chapel Ave. This project should be completed early in 2024.
