The Norcross City Council voted recently to award the city’s pedestrian connectivity project to Construction 57, Inc. The $186,862 project is a Transportation Enhancement Grant funded project with a federal grant of $200,000, which requires a local match of $50,000. The federal share can be spent on construction only, while the city has responsibility for funding the preliminary engineering and right-of-way acquisition. The city has spent $65,719 on preliminary engineering and $2,816 on right of way and required construction easements. This total of $68,635 means the city has met its local match obligation and is not obligated to contribute more toward construction.
The project consists of sidewalk and streetscape at four locations including Britt Avenue on both sides from Buford Highway to Bostic St., and on the east side from Bostic St. to the Community Center, West Peachtree St. on the south side from Jimmy Carter Boulevard to just west of Langford Drive, the south side of Pinnacle Way west of Beaver Ruin Road, and on the west side of Reps Miller Road north of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
