Comment Period closed and TE grants awarded

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Community Transportation Plan! The city received over 750 written comments in addition to the survey and attendance at public meetings. The comment period for the plan is over, but there will be plenty of opportunities to share your thoughts as each project in the plan is funded and implemented.

The City Commission has finished their review of the Community Transportation Plan and staff is working on incorporating their comments. The final plan will be presented for adoption on Monday, April 7, 2008 at the City Commission meeting at Decatur City Hall at 7:30 p.m. 

The city has received two Transportation Enhancement grants to improve the intersections of South Candler/East Trinity/College Avenue and North McDonough/College Avenue. Look for opportunities to participate in the design process for those intersections in Winter 2008.
