Georgia DOT Conducting Ponce Avenue/Scott Boulevard Survey

The state wants to hear your concerns and thoughts about one of Decatur's most heavily traveled corridors.

The Georgia DOT is asking for your input in a road safety audit for Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Scott Boulevard, otherwise know as SR8 and US 78.

From the survey’s website:

“A Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal safety performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection by an audit team. RSAs have been used successfully for a wide variety of locations to identify potential solutions leading to both short-term improvements and longer term efforts including construction projects. It is a proactive tool, not solely dependent on crash data, but rather an innovative approach that includes firsthand observation to identify enhancement opportunities to be considered in improvement projects.

“This survey is being conducted in order to obtain input from key citizen and community groups that have an interest in the study area along the stretch of State Route 8/US 78/Ponce de Leon Avenue/Scott Boulevard, from SR 42/Moreland Avenue (US 23) to SR 155/Clairemont Avenue. This survey will be open until 11:59pm on Tuesday November 24, 2015.”
