The city of Atlanta launched a new website for the public to learn about and follow the progress of the Renew Atlanta infrastructure bond program, www.renewatlantabond.com.
Visitors to the site can see project listings for each category of the bond program, including road resurfacing, bridge repairs, complete streets projects, and upgrades to parks and recreation facilities across the city. The public can also track the progress and spending of each project. The Renew Atlanta program was approved by more than eight in 10 voters in a special election earlier this year.
Over five years, the city of Atlanta plans to complete more than two hundred transportation and municipal facility projects, including major repairs and upgrades from an infrastructure maintenance backlog of nearly $900 million. In the months since the infrastructure bonds were approved, the city of Atlanta has completed extensive planning work and preparation to execute on multiple projects across all three rounds of work in the five-year program, including traffic signal synchronization. The City of Atlanta borrowed $250 million in bond funds earlier this year, after Atlanta voters overwhelmingly approved two ballot questions.
