Project 39: A More Mobile Milledge

Executive Summary

Milledge Avenue, a historic, three-lane corridor, serves as a vital North/South connection for neighborhoods, schools, and UGA. Sidewalks exist but have gaps and are narrow and close to traffic, and there is no bike or micro mobility infrastructure. Though it is a Tier One High Priority route for biking and rolling in the Athens in Motion Plan, Milledge is the only critical corridor without a vision or transportation plan.  

 

This project includes planning for the future maintenance of upgraded sidewalks, bike facilities, and pedestrian safety measures. Proposed enhancements may include but are not limited to: sidewalks, relocation and upgrade of crosswalks, optimization of signal timing and infrastructure adjustments, renovation of pedestrian corner refuges, installation of pedestrian and street lighting, upgrades to traffic signals.
