WOODLAWN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETSCAPE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Woodlawn Community was developed with good pedestrian infrastructure, however, the pedestrian environment has weakened over the least eighty years as automobiles began to dominate public investments in transportation and the patterns of private development. The project was aimed to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility through sidewalk repair and construction, installation of crosswalks, drainage improvements, landscaping, irrigation and pedestrian lighting.

The proposed improvements included streetscape for 1 ½ miles of roadway focused on First Avenue South, Georgia Road and several cross streets in the South Woodlawn neighborhood and in the eastern portion of Woodlawn neighborhood. Plans were prepared in accordance with ALDOT Plan Preparation Manual.
