History
In 2013 the Urban Land Institute completed its report on the Atlanta
Highway Corridor redevelopment strategy
On November 7, 2017, the citizens of Athens-Clarke County approved
the TSPLOST 2018 Program Referendum that included Atlanta Highway
(#15) Corridor Projects
In October 2018, the Athens in Motion (AiM) Commission completed a
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
In 2018, Planning Department was leading the effort on the Atlanta
Highway
In August 2019, the Connect Athens: Atlanta Highway – Lexington
Highway Corridor Plan was completed
History – Cont.
In December 2019, Atlanta Highway (#15) Corridor Projects User
Groups began the project development process
On May 26, 2020, M&C Work Session agenda item was discussed the
Atlanta Highway (#15) Corridor for Potential Project consideration
Between May 28 and June 28, 2020, ACCGov conducted on-line public
engagement regarding Potential Projects that the Public would want to
see on a project List
On July 7, 2020, M&C approved the Potential Projects List Atlanta
Highway Corridor Projects and authorized staff to advance the list for
prioritization and implement noted immediate impact projects
History – Cont.
Between August and December 2020, the Atlanta Highway (#15)
Corridor Projects User Group with ACCGov Department participation
developed the next phase of public engagement strategy and project
content
On January 12, 2021, M&C Work Session presentation outlined the
public engagement strategy and project material for Atlanta Highway
(#15) Corridor for Potential Project consideration
In February 2021, the Atlanta Highway Corridor Projects on-line website
launched and public engagement outreach began.
Between February and April, 2021, public engagement opportunities
were happening and project survey submissions were recorded
Between May and July, 2021, the Lexington Highway and Atlanta
Highway Corridor User Groups each developed their Priority Projects
for M&C consideration to move into the Preliminary Plan Phase of the
Project development Process
History – Cont.
On September 7, 2021, M&C approved a Priority Project list for the
Atlanta Highway Corridor Improvements to develop conceptual plans
for M&C future consideration: review shared use options, sidewalk
options, and bridge connectivity options.
Between Sept 2021, the User Group has refined the approved Priority
Projects by obtaining appropriate survey and field investigations and
deliberation with the deign team.
On July 20, 2022, the User Group affirmed moving the Proposed Project
concepts forward to M&C Work Session and follow up with additional
public input sessions.
The links to the previously mentioned reports and project data can be
found at:
TSPLOST Project 15 - Atlanta Highway Corridor Improvement webpage
History & Purpose for the Presentation
On September 7, 2021, M&C approved a CDO and authorized staff to
expend up to $979,791 to develop, with public input, conceptual plans
with cost estimates for design and construction, for the following,
bringing them to the Mayor and Commission for consideration on which
options to advance to the preliminary design phase:
a) a Multi-Use Path for all of Mitchell Bridge Road (from ATL Hwy to
Tallassee Road) and Timothy Road (from ATL Hwy to the Berkley
Hills Subdivision). This may include exploring use of different
materials, as well as addressing topography challenges and safety
considerations for any necessary street crossings.
b) a pedestrian sidewalk for all of Mitchell Bridge Road (from ATL
Hwy to Tallassee Road) and Timothy Road (from ATL Hwy to the
Berkley Hills Subdivision). This may include exploring use of
different materials, as well as addressing topography challenges and
safety considerations for any necessary street crossings.
c) Conceptual plans for each shall anticipate designs for safe
pedestrian and bicycle access along Mitchell Bridge Road at each
of the two bridges (over the Middle Oconee River and the Loop 10
Bypass).
History - For Future Presentation
On September 7, 2021, M&C approved CDO also requested that the
Atlanta Highway Corridor User Group develop a recommendation
for subprojects for use of approximately $1,500,000 of the TSPLOST
2018 Program Revenues for Project 15 - Atlanta Highway Corridor
Improvements. This recommendation should include explanations
of subprojects’ alignment with:
a) The 2019 Connect Athens Corridor Report for Atlanta Highway;
b) The TSPLOST 2018 Project Description;
c) The Athens in Motion Master Plan (as applicable for any bike-
ped projects, especially with regards to AiM project tiering);
d) Public input received for TSPLOST 2018 Project 15 Atlanta
Highway Corridor Improvements; and
e) ACCGov’s stated goals of equity with regards to project
prioritization countywide

between Fire Station #2 and The Preserve Drive.
Type of future bike/ped bridge over the Athens Loop would depend on
decision between pedestrian or multi-use trails on the approached
Possible ACCGov-GDOT joint opportunities exist to rebuild existing
bridge for vehicle/bike/ped, instead of a stand alone bike/ped structure
GDOT has shown interest in part ACCGov for joint study on Atlanta
Highway/Mitchell Bridge Road/Timothy Road intersection for potential
improvements via MACORTS/MPO process.

Why FEMA is Undertaking Risk Rating 2.0
• With Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA now has the capability and tools to
address rating disparities by incorporating more flood risk
variables. These include flood frequency, multiple flood types
(river overflow, storm surge, coastal erosion and heavy rainfall)
and the cost to rebuild.
• Currently, policyholders with lower‐valued homes are paying
more than their share of the risk while policyholders with higher‐
valued homes are paying less than their share of the risk.

8/4/2022
Next Steps
• Adopt amended language for Flood Protection Ordinance
(Chapter 8‐2). This allows Athens‐Clarke County to continue to
participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.
• Allows residents to purchase federally backed flood insurance.
• For presidential declared disasters, impacted residents have access to
disaster assistance funds.
• ACCGov eligible to apply for federal funds under the FEMA Post Disaster
