Duluth is currently working with Pond and Company on the concept and right-of-way plans for a joint city/county Abbotts Bridge Road East sidewalk plan. The design calls for sidewalk improvements from Buford Highway to Clairborne Drive where a pedestrian crossing currently exists. Because the sidewalk improvement will go up to the pedestrian crossing at Clairborne Drive it will be necessary to upgrade the crossing to current standards.
As a result, Duluth agreed April 11 to transfer an additional $15,000 in 2014 SPLOST funds from the Davenport Road Extension project to this endeavor.
The city is responsible for 19 percent of this project, with the county covering the remaining 81 percent.
