City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Gentlemen:
The Atlanta Area Transportation Study has now moved into Phase II
of its transportation network testing. This phase consists of the reconstruction
and widening of existing streets to meet the needs of 1983 traffic volumes.
improvements to the thoroughfare system will consist of four classes of streets:
six-lane arterials, four-lane arterials, four-lane collectors and two-lane
collectors.
in conjunction with any improvements recommended by the Atlanta Area
Transportation Study, the City of Atlanta should establish a set of street cross=
sections to correspond fo the various classes. The present standards used by the
City do not meet the minimum requirements for operations and safety as required
by the Federal Government. if Atlanta is to receive Federal or State aid for
future thoroughfere improvements, these standards must be improved.
The proposed cross~sections presented here ore intended only as @ starting
point for discussion. Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated, _
Hopefully, through inter-departmental cooperation, these much needed standards
ean soon be established.
Yours very truly,
