Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan- Statewide Route Network
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This plan was developed by: The Georgia Department of Transportation 2 Capitol Square Atlanta, Georgia 30334
With draft versions prepared by: Day Wilburn Associates, Inc. 1718 Peachtree Street N.W., Suite 461 Atlanta, Georgia 30309
In collaboration with the Statewide Bicycle Advisory Committee, comprised of staff and/or members from:
GDOT District Offices Federal Highway Administration Metropolitan Planning Organizations Regional Development Centers Association of County Commissioners of Georgia Georgia Municipal Association local planning departments bicycle clubs and other state agencies
The production of a state plan of this scope and detail has been a lengthy and complex process, and thanks go out to all those who have contributed their time, knowledge, and dedication towards development of this plan. Comments or questions regarding this plan or requests for copies can be made via mail, e-mail, or phone:

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan .- Statewide Route Network
Following this teleconference, GDOT compiled the recommendations into a revision of the plan, featuring specific corridor descriptions and supplemental information required for implementation.. Day Wilburn Associates, Inc. (DWA), a private transportation planning and engineering firm, was contracted to assist the GDOT staff in accomplishing this effort. The draft of this document, which was presented and approved by the State. Transportation Board in the Fall of 1997, represented the culmination of the above efforts.
DWA was charged with evaluating the continuity and logic of subcommittee recommendations, suggesting network revisions where appropriate, and presenting maps and data on the network in a manner that can be used by planners and designers at all levels of government. Until the route' network is completed and documented, this plan can also act as a trip-planning guide for bicyclist and others. In evaluating the overall system, connections with local projects and plans and coordination with the GDOT work program were important considerations. Additional activities included identifying implementation issues, suggesting sign designs, developing cost estimates, outlining an implementation program, identifying potential funding sources, field checking the routes, and listing future plan refinement activities. Each of these topics are covered in later sections of this document.
In preparing this plan, several network revisions were discussed by DWA and GDOT staff. Some involved slight shifts to further improve individual routes, while others were more fundamental in nature. Several route names in the metropolitan Atlanta area were changed to provide a system that will be more logical to users. This redefinition resulted in the creation of two additional routes, for a total of 14. These 14 routes constitute essentially the same network as the original 12 routes, but are more descriptive and intuitive.
Several other possible changes were considered including some that would involve the creation of new routes or significant changes in alignments of existing routes. Due to time constraints and the desire not to develop routes without conducting extensive field reviews, these revisions were not incorporated. Instead, a list of possible future system additions was prepared and is included as a future activity, discussed in the final section of this document.
During the Spring of 1998, GDOT staff prepared this revised edition of the Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network. The route descriptions and strip maps were crosschecked for accuracy and detail against GDOT's roadway databases and bike route "milepoint" database using GIS (geographic information system) software. Appropriate corrections, updates, and revisions were made to the plan's text, tables, route descriptions, and maps.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The Mountain Crossing Route has 40 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Mountain Crossing Route has four at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle & Pedestrian Transportation Plan
Statewide Route Network
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Bicycle and Pedestrian Goals GDOT defined several goals in the June 1995, version of the Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. These goals were developed to guide program implementation in the same spirit as the goals contained in the Statewide Transportation Plan, adopted by the State Transportation Board in May 1995. Environmental quality, efficient use of existing facilities, and maximizing opportunities for economic development are common themes in both. The bicycle and pedestrian goals, essentially unchanged from the previous. version of the Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, are as follows.
Promote bicycling and walking as mobility options in urban and rural areas of the state.
Develop a transportation network of primary bicycle routes throughout the state to provide connectivity for intrastate and interstate bicycle travel.
Promote establishment of U.S. numbered bicycle routes in Georgia as part of a national network of bicycle routes.
Encourage economic development opportunities that enhance bicycle and pedestrian mobility.
Promote non-motorized transportation as a means of congestion mitigation. Promote non-motorized transportation as an environmentally friendly means
of mobility. Promote connectivity of non-motorized facilities with other modes of
transportation.

The Central Route has 75 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Central Route has 18 at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
SECTION 2 System Overview
The Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian System comprises 14 routes totaling 2,943 miles. Of these routes, four are shorter than 100 miles in length, three are between 100 and 200 miles long, three are from 200 to 300 miles long, two are 300 to 400 miles long, and two are more than 400 miles in length. Table 1 shows the total mileage of each route (including overlapping route sections), with the distance within each GDOT District also shown.
The routes were numbered in the same manner as the interstate highway system, with numerical designations increasing from west to east and south to north. Predominately east/west facilities end in even numbers while predominately north/south facilities end in odd numbers. Since the network contained in this plan represents the framework for a more comprehensive system possible in the future, these 14 routes all end in zero or five to distinguish them from later route additions. Again, this numbering sequence is similar to that used on interstate highways, where zero and five are typically reserved for long distance routes which end at or near national boundaries or coastlines. .
Figure 1 shows the entire statewide route network. This map is intended to demonstrate the overall continuity and extent of the network. For more detailed maps and information, the reader is referred to the route profiles in Section 6 (east-west routes) and Section 7 (north-south routes) of this plan, where subsections are dedicated to each of the 14 routes. Each route subsection contains an overview describing:
endpoints, locations where other routes intersect, mileage by county, communities and major features within each county, mileage by GDOT District, mileage on the state highway system, mileage not on the state highway system, segment distances where other routes overlap, estimated number of bridge crossings, and estimated number of rail crossings.

Mileage totals for March to the Sea Route:
Total length =427.9 miles District 1 =42.7 miles
District 2 =158.7 miles
District 3 =0.0 miles
District 4 =0.0 miles District 5 =78.2 miles District 6 =96.6 miles District 7 =51.7 miles
On state highway system =253.3 miles (59.2% of total length) Not on state highway system = 174.6 miles (40.8% of total length) Shared length = 110.1 miles
1.9 miles with Mountain Crossing Route 41.8 miles with Savannah River Run Route 49.5 miles with TransGeorgia Route 16.9 miles with Coastal Route Total length unique to March to the Sea Route = 359.1 miles
On state highway system =217.6 miles (60.6%)
Not on state highway system = 141.5 miles (39.4%) The March to the Sea Route has 95 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps,
not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum. The March to the Sea Route has 15 at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The Little White House Route has 30 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Little White House Route has four at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional .crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Transportation Plan Statewide Route Network
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan .... Statewide Route Network
Detailed information for each route is summarized and provided in tabular form in each subsection. The major route segments are identified by county, facility (road number and/or name), distance, next major reference point, and direction to be taken at that reference point. These route description tables also identify community, GDOT District, and state roadway system. The narrative "directions" are presented primarily for travel in one direction along the route. Users desiring to travel in the opposite direction would need to reverse the facilities, next reference point, and directions to trace the route in reverse. One-way roadway sections are footnoted and, for the opposite direction, are shown in a different, italicized font. These route descriptions provided the basis for summarizing data about each route and the overall network. In addition, several tables are presented on the remaining pages of this section that present a broad summary of the system.
A series of "strip" maps for each route are also contained within each route profile subsection. These maps show county boundaries, cities, major geographical features, intersecting bicycle and pedestrian routes, highway route numbers and local/county road names. Inset maps are provided for clarity where the route passes through a large community or negotiates a series of turns in quick succession. Although scales and north-south orientation may vary for each map in a route series, the maps should allow planners, designers, and network users to determine the precise course they will be following.
At several locations, two or more routes overlap for distances ranging between 1.9 and 49.5 miles. While Table 1 indicated the total system covers 2,943 miles of routes, overlap between routes reduces the actual roadway distance to 2,798 miles. Table 2 demonstrates that 10 of the 14 routes run common with at least one other route at one or more locations. Only the Augusta Link, the Athens Link, the Northern Crescent and the Appalachian Gateway, the four shortest routes, do not overlap with another segment of the network. The most overlap occurs west of Savannah, where the March to Sea, Savannah River Run, TransGeorgia, and Coastal Routes run common for 16.9 miles.
Table 3 contains data on the mileage for each route and the total network that lie on or off the state highway system. Of all the routes, only the TransGeorgia, Coastal, and Savannah River Run have 80 percent or more of their length on the state system. With the. exception of the Augusta Link and the Northern Crescent, both of which are among the network's shortest, all routes follow state highways for at least 50 percent of their distance. Of the overall 2,943-mile network, 2,027 miles (68.9%) of the system follows state highways. With all overlapping segments removed as shown in Table 4, the portion of the statewide bicycle network on state maintained roadways increases to 69.7 percent. The difference is virtually negligible, so it can be stated that of the 2,798 miles of roadway comprising the 2,943 miles of the state route network, approximately 70 percent is on the state highway system.

District 3 =0.0 miles District 4 =0.0 miles
District 5 = 0.0 miles
District 6 =0.0 miles

The Appalachian Gateway Route has 12 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Appalachian Gateway Route has two at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

The Savannah River Run Route has 63 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Savannah River Run Route has 16 at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

The Coastal Route has 60 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Coastal Route has four at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
SECTION 3 Related Programs and Projects
Routes comprising the Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian System were developed to complement and supplement other transportation programs and projects underway. In selected cases, route recommendations prepared by the GOaT District Advisory Subcommittees were modified to take advantage of existing facilities created through these programs. A thorough integration between the statewide network and local networks was not undertaken, but it is underway. Further integration can best be handled by the GOaT District Advisory Subcommittees during subsequent refinement of this plan. This section presents overviews of other bicycle and pedestrian projects or programs either underway or planned around the state, along with descriptions of the relationship of each to the statewide network.
Connectivity with Transportation Enhancement Activity (TEA) Projects
The 1991 ISTEA legislation identified several innovative funding categories available for use on projects for alternative modes. In addition, each state was required to set aside a minimum of 10 percent of its annual Surface Transportation Program (STP) allocation for Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEAs). This approach ensured that transportation projects related to aesthetics, historical preservation and alternative modes were guaranteed a minimum level of funding each year. The recently passed TEA21 legislation incorporates nearly all of the features of ISTEA including TEA's.
Obtaining TEA funding is a very competitive process in Georgia and not all project applications are selected due to the popularity of the program and funding limitations. Of the ISTEA enhancement categories, bicycle/pedestrian facilities and rail trails are the two which have the most applicability to this plan. These improvements are extremely popular with slightly more than one-half of all awarded projects nationwide through 1998 coming from these two categories. TEA21 adds another applicable category - bike/ped safety and educational activities.
A review of the Georgia TEA work program indicated a total of 51 projects related partially or completely to bicycles and pedestrians budgeted for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997. The projects are in various stages of implementation and represent a cumulative financial commitment of about $46 million from GOaT. In addition to this amount, a minimum local commitment of 20 percent is required for each project, so the total amount dedicated statewide to the program likely exceeds $58 million.
The TEA program received 140 eligible applications in late 1997. A selection process was undertaken in early 1998 determining which of these projects would be funded and programmed for FY 1998/99. All sponsors were notified of the selection results in July 1998.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Connectivity with Local Networks and Plans Whenever possible, the routes comprising the statewide system have been defined to complement bicycling and pedestrian initiatives at the city, county, and regional levels. Under the requirements of the ISTEA, each urbanized area is required to develop a transportation plan that incorporates alternative modes into the overall system. An urbanized area is defined as a city and surrounding developed area that has a total population exceeding 50,000. Planning efforts are coordinated through a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which may be comprised of staff from the appropriate jurisdictions or be a separate entity altogether. There are eight MPOs that lie entirely within the State of Georgia and three that include areas in an adjacent state. The primary city within each of the MPOs is:
Albany, Athens, Atlanta (many counties and cities in the Atlanta region have plans which were
incorporated into the comprehensive MPO plan), Augusta (the MPO area includes North Augusta, South Carolina), Brunswick, Chattanooga, Tennessee (the MPO area includes suburban areas in Georgia), Columbus (the MPO area includes Phenix City, Alabama), Macon, .Rome, Savannah, and Warner Robins. In addition to these urbanized areas, a few non-urban counties, several cities, and one region have completed and adopted bicycle and pedestrian plans. The review and incorporation ofthese plans as well as any other similarly developed and provided plans into future revisions of the statewide plan is a necessity. While it is beyond the scope of this document to present the details of each local bicycle and pedestrian plan, essential information and elements regarding each of the MPO plans and the Baldwin County (Milledgeville) plan follows on the next page.

The Wiregrass Route passes through Dougherty County but does not directly serve the City of Albany. The route enters Dougherty County from eastern Calhoun County utilizing GA62, then shifts to the local roadway network several miles west of Albany and proceeds north into Lee County. The Wiregrass Route eventually links-into GA32 near Leesburg, then continues east.
Although the City of Albany is not located directly on the statewide system, the MPO plan includes several facilities which would allow seamless travel between the state and local systems. The majority of the Wiregrass Route's path through Lee County is designated as an onstreet bicycle corridor in the MPO plan. Likewise, the entire length of GA62 is also shown as an on-street corridor. Several other facilities, including GA234, US 19, GA91, and GA300 radiate from downtown Albany and would intersect the Wiregrass Route. In addition, an off-street corridor is planned along a rail line which runs to the northwest from downtown and would tie into the Wiregrass Route in the southwestern comer of Lee County.

The Athens Link Route directly serves Athens and the community of Watkinsville, located to the south in Oconee County. This route provides connections to several routes converging in the metro Atlanta area and to the Savannah River Run Route to the east in Elberton. The Athens Link Route enters Oconee County on GA53, turns onto Simonton Bridge Road in Watkinsville. After crossing the Middle Oconee River into Clarke County, the facility becomes Whitehall Road. The route turns onto Milledge Avenue, then follows Broad Street, Water Street, Peter Street and Olympic Drive through Athens. Through the remainder of the county, the Athens Link Route follows Voyles Road, Moores Grove Road, Athena Road, and Smithsonia Road, passing through Winterville before crossing into Oglethorpe County.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The MPO plan shows virtually the entire route between Watkinsville and downtown Athens as part of the local network. Although the Broad Street Bridge is used to cross the Oconee River, the local route deviates prior to the crossing, possibly to avoid several rough at-grade railroad crossings on Broad Street between East Campus Drive and the river. The MPO plan does not incorporate any of the facilities used east of the river for the Athens Link Route. The Athens Link Route will provide excellent connectivity with other routes planned in the area. A portion of the route along East Campus Drive is currently paralleled by a short off-street path, which ties into a growing network of bicycle facilities serving the University of Georgia and the rest of Athens.

The Atlanta region comprises ten counties and is served by numerous routes on the statewide bicycle and pedestrian system, although only two actually penetrate the city limits of Atlanta. . Routes which pass through one or more counties in the region include the March to the Sea, Northern Crescent, Athens Link, Central, Little White House, and Appalachian Gateway Routes.
The March to the Sea Route begins near Chattanooga, enters the region from Bartow County and passes through Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett Counties before continuing southeast to Madison, Milledgeville, Sandersville, Statesboro, and Savannah. This is one of two routes which are directly in the City of Atlanta, the other being the Little White House Route. These two routes intersect at historic Five Points in downtown.
In Cobb County, the March to the Sea Route follows GA293, Old US41, Old Cartersville Road, and Kennesaw A venue to reach Marietta. Through Marietta, the route utilizes the Church Street/Atlanta Street one-way pair, then continues to the south on GA5 and GA3 (Atlanta Road). In Fulton County, the route includes GA3 (Marietta Boulevard) and Marietta Street to reach, downtown Atlanta. Several streets are used to maneuver through and around Five Points, then the route continues east on Edgewood Avenue and Euclid Avenue. In DeKalb County, McLendon Avenue, Howard Circle, DeKalb Place, Howard Avenue, Atlanta Avenue, and College Avenue provide access to Decatur. East of Decatur, the route follows Avondale Road, Clarendon Avenue, Church Street, Lovejoy Street, Rowland Street, Norman Road, Rays Road, Central Drive, Goldsmith Road, and Memorial Drive are used between Scottdale and the Village of Stone Mountain. A somewhat parallel, partially off-street facility constructed by the PATH Foundation and GDOT (the Stone Mountain!Atlanta Trail) can be used to travel from downtown Atlanta to Stone Mountain. Silver Hill Road, Lilburn-Stone Mountain Road, and Old Stone Mountain Road complete the route through DeKalb County. In Gwinnett County, Five Forks-

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Trickum Road, Dogwood Road, and GAl24 take the route through Snellville, then Lenora Church Road, Centerville - Rosebud Road, Lee Road, and Rosebud Road are used to the Walton County line.
The Northern Crescent Route provides a bypass route for travelers who do not wish to follow the March to the Sea Route through Atlanta. It links to the March to the Sea Route at Acworth in Cobb County on the northwest side of the region and at Snellville in Gwinnett County to the east. Through Cobb County, the Northern Crescent Route follows Lemon Street, Southside Drive, Hickory Grove Road, Wade Green Road, Shiloh Road, Shallowford Road, and Jamerson Road. The route then enters Cherokee County and uses Trickum Road, GA92, Wiley Bridge Road, and Cox Road before crossing into Fulton County. The route in Fulton County continues on Cox Road, then follows on Etris Road, Cagle Road, GAl40 (Arnold Mill Road), Green Road, GA372 (Crabapple Road), Mayfield Road, and Main Street into Alpharetta. East of Alpharetta, the route follows Academy Street, Webb Bridge Road, GAl20 (Kimball Bridge Road), Jones Bridge Road, Sargent Road, and McGinnis Ferry Road to Gwinnett County. From where it crosses the Chattahoochee River, McGinnis Ferry Road, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, GA317 (Suwanee Dam RoadlLawrenceville-Suwanee Road), Horizon Drive, Old Peachtree Road, Collins Hill Road, Hurricane Shoals Road, and GA20 (Buford Drive) are used to provide access to Lawrenceville. The north and southbound US29 one-way pairs (Pike Street and Crogan Street) and Perry Street and McArthur Street are used to maneuver through downtown Lawrenceville. For the remainder of its route, the Northern Crescent follows Jackson Street, New Hope Road, Chandler Road, Grayson-New Hope Road, GA84, Pinehurst Road, and GA124.
The Athens Link Route connects with the Northern Crescent Route in Gwinnett County and runs east via Winder, Watkinsville, and Athens to its terminus at the Savannah River Run Route in Elberton. In Gwinnett County, the route follows Chandler Road and Ozora Road before passing into Walton County.
The Central Route begins in Acworth in Cobb County and skirts the western and southern fringes of the region before turning south toward Macon, Perry, Cordele, Tifton, and Valdosta. In Cobb County, the route follows Nance Road, Acworth - Due West Road, Kennesaw - Due West Road, Midway Road, GA176, Bullard Road, Govanett Road, Old Lost Mountain Road, Jackson Way, and US278 to reach Powder Springs. South of Powder Springs, the route continues on Brownsville Road and Hiram Lithia Road to Douglas County. Sweetwater Road' North, Sweetwater Road South, Mt. Vernon Road, and GA92 carry the route to Fulton County. The route through Fulton County utilizes GA92, GA70, Cochran Mill Road, Hutcheson Ferry Road, Toombs Street, and Fayetteville Road to pass through Palmetto on the way to Coweta County. After a brief stretch through Coweta County, which is not part of the ARC region, the route enters Fayette County on Palmetto Road. It then follows Tyrone Road and GA54 to Fayetteville, where it links with the Little White House Route. Through Fayetteville, the eastbound and westbound directions of GA54 become the one-way pair of Stonewall Avenue and Lanier Avenue. McDonough Road takes the Central Route into Clayton County, where GA3 is used for the entire distance to Henry County, where the route exits the Atlanta region.
19
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The Little White House Route begins at the March to the Sea' Route in downtown Atlanta, proceeds south to Warm Springs and terminates at the TransGeorgia Route north of Columbus. In Fulton County, the route follows US29 for almost the entire distance. This highway is known by several names as it passes through various communities and makes turns, including Peachtree Street, Whitehall Street, McDaniel Street, Peters Street, Lee Street, Main Street, and Roosevelt Highway. Near the Clayton County line, the route moves onto GAl39 (Riverdale Road), then GA314 (West Fayetteville Road). GA314 continues into Fayette County to Fayetteville, where the route intersects with the Central Route. South of Fayetteville, the Little White House Route follows GA85, Beauregard/Redwine Road, GA74, Rockaway Road, and Cox Road before entering Coweta County. A connector route links the community of Palmetto, in southwest Fulton County, to the main route in Coweta County. The entire distance of the connector in Fulton County is along US29 and it passes through no other counties within the Atlanta region.
The Appalachian Gateway links the Northern Crescent Route in Gwinnett County to the Mountain Crossing Route near Helen, passing through Gainesville along the way. In Gwinnett County, the route uses Old Peachtree Road, GA124, Hamilton Mill Road, and Ridge Road.
The Atlanta region plan calls for a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian network which will integrate well with the statewide system. There are, however, numerous situations where alterations to either plan could be effective in reducing duplication through key corridors. Where two parallel routes can be reduced to a single common route, the ease of implementation, system understandability and the impetus for necessary improvements will all be enhanced.
The March to the Sea Route utilizes roadways through Cobb County which are already slated for inclusion in the local network. The same is also true through the City of Atlanta, except for a segment where the MPO plan deviates from Marietta Street onto Tech Parkway and Luckie Street, before reuniting with the state system at the northern edge of Centennial Park. The local route better serves local activity centers, including the Georgia Tech campus, Techwood Homes and the world headquarters of Coca-Cola, although the March to the Sea Route provides a more direct path. Through much of DeKalb County to Stone Mountain, the state bicycle route follows a PATH route, which utilizes both on-street and off-street facilities. West of Decatur, the routes diverge, then reunite to the east of town. Again, the local route better serves local activity centers while the state bicycle route is more direct None of the roadways used on the March to the Sea Route east of Stone Mountain are included in the local plan. The same is true for Gwinnett County roads to Snellville. A portion of the state bicycle route uses Dogwood Road, which parallels the Ronald Reagan Parkway, a facility planned for inclusion in the local system. The remainder of the. March to the Sea Route past Snellville is along roadways which are included in the local plan.
The western portion of the Northern Crescent Route proved to be one of the most difficult components of the statewide system to determine, due to the rapid pace of growth and resulting heavy traffic volumes on a disjointed and overwhelmed road network. The route through Cobb County uses only a single road, Shiloh Road, which is included in the MPO plan. Other parallel
20
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
corridors, located to the south along Shallowford Road and the north along GA92, are in the local plan but are currently unacceptable for bicycle and pedestrian travel in thei,r current state. The same situation is true for Cherokee County, although a short segment of GA92 was chosen due to the lack of more suitable alternate facilities.
The entire Northern Crescent Route through north Fulton County is on roads included in the MPO plan, with the exception of Etris and Cagle Roads, used to minimize the distance which must be traveled on GA140. Virtually no roads are common between the two plans through Gwinnett County, except short segments of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Grayson-New Hope Road. A possibility worth investigating in the future is the redefining of the Northern Crescent Route to utilize the Duluth Bypass/Atkinson Road/Sugarloaf Parkway corridor through the Gwinnett County to a point between Lawrenceville and Snellville. Much of this corridor is part of the local network and currently under construction --completed segments feature bike lanes. However, presently completed segments do not provide a level of connectivity suitable for inclusion in the statewide system at this time.
The Athens Link Route, for its short distance in the Atlanta region, does not follow any roads planned for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the MPO plan. The approved route, however, parallels the Alcovy River, which is shown for development as a greenway. Even if such improvements do eventually occur, any bicycle or pedestrian facility is likely to be unpaved and, therefore, unsuitable for inclusion in the state system.
The Central Route does not use any facilities included in the MPO plan through Cobb County. Between Atworth and Powder Springs, however, bicycle facilities are planned along a corridor to the immediate west, along Mars Hill Road, Comer Road, and Florence Road. No facilities are planned south of Powder Springs to the Douglas County line, although a less direct route to the east through Austell, is part of the MPO plan. The state and local routes converge at Mt. Vernon Road just north of 1-20 and are common through the remainder of the county. The entire segment of the Central Route through south Fulton County is on roads included in the local plan. In Fayette County, only a short stretch of GA54 east of Fayetteville is common to the two plans. No parallel roads are delineated, so the Central Route would be supplemental to the system planned in Fayette County. The same situation exists in Clayton County, where the only common segment is a portion of McDonough Road west of Lovejoy.
The Little White House Route uses roadways in the local plan as it passes through the City of Atlanta and south Fulton County. In the vicinity of Hartsfield International Airport, in Clayton County, the Little White House Route deviates onto roadways not incorporated in the MPO plan. The local plan includes a less direct parallel route to the east which uses the Airport Loop Road, GA85, Church Street, and two proposed greenways, before linking to Fayetteville Road in Fayette County. Likewise, the MPO plan shows a corridor to the west through Fayette County which follows West Bridge Road and New Hope Road to Fayetteville. All three possibilities converge in downtown Fayetteville. A segment of Beauregard BoulevardlRedwine Road south
21
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan....; Statewide Route Network
of Fayetteville is common to both plans, although the MPO route deviates to the west toward Peachtree City while the Little White House Route continues south to Coweta County. No paraiIel routes are delineated, so the Little White House Route would be supplemental to the system planned in Fayette County.
In Gwinnett County, the Appalachian Gateway Route uses portions of Old Peachtree Road and Hamilton Mill Road which are part of the MPO plan. Significant portions of the state bicycle route do not overlap with the local system, although several local routes are envisioned for the area. The local system, if implemented, would incorporate Rock Springs Road and at least two off-street facilities along 1-85 and Ivy Creek. At the present time, however, the route selected for the Appalachian Gateway was determined to be the best which is currently available.

Augusta - Richmond County Planning Commission Augusta Regional Transportation Study Bikeway Plan April 1994; amended September 1997 Paul DeCamp, Senior Planner (706) 821-1796
The City of Augusta is served by the Augusta Link Route, which runs west from the Savannah River Run at Thompson to downtown. Within Richmond County, the route follows Wrightsboro Road, Flowing Wells Road, the 1-20 Frontage Road, Wheeler Road, Monte Sano Avenue, Henry Street, Fleming Avenue, Cumming Road, Milledge Road, and Broad Street.
The local bicycle plan delineates numerous bikeway corridors. Four of these corridors overlap some portion of Augusta Link Route. These proposed bikeways are Wrightsboro Road, Wheeler Road, Lumpkin Road, and Broad Street. Three of the local bikeways intersect the Augusta Link. They are LewistonlHereford Farm Road, Jackson Road, and Fifteenth Street.
The Augusta link will also provide connectivity with a TEA funded project that is in the design stages. The Augusta Canal Towpath Trail portion of this TEA project will cross the Augusta Link at Broad Street. The New Bartram Trail portion of the project will be accessible from the terminus of the Augusta Link.

Baldwin County is the only non-MPO plan discussed in this document. Future editions of the State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan are expected to include other locally adopted bicycle and pedestrian plans. The county lies along the March to the Sea Route, which runs between the Tennessee state line near Chattanooga to Savannah and also passes through Calhoun, Marietta, Smyrna, Atlanta, Decatur, Madison, Sandersville, and Statesboro. The route enters Baldwin County on GA212, then follows GA22/24 through Milledgeville and crosses into Washington County on Deepstep Road.
There are currently no bicycle facilities in Milledgeville or Baldwin County; however, the local plan identifies several proposed improvements ranging from route signing to off-street multi-use facilities. Much of the March to the Sea Route through the city is along roadways that are included in the local plan, but this is not the case in unincorporated areas of Baldwin County. No parallel facilities are identified in the local plan, so the March to the Sea Route would be supplemental to the system proposed within Baldwin County.
Several other planned local routes will intersect the March to the Sea Route, providing excellent connectivity to most major activity centers. A long-range transportation study for the county was completed by GOOT in July 1996 and the plan included a bicycle and pedestrian program element. The recommendations of that document incorporated routes identified in the 1994 plan and made minor modifications to the system, particularly in the northern and western portions of the city. The updated local network is considered to be more responsive to the comprehensive transportation needs of the county and better serves growing commercial and residential areas.

Glynn County is served by the Coastal and Southern Crossing Routes. The Coastal Route follows US 17 through the county on its run between South Carolina and Florida, connecting Brunswick in Glynn County with Savannah, Richmond Hill, and Darien. The Southern Crossing Route enters from Brantley County on US82, then runs common with US 17 on Colonel's Island to the Sidney Lanier Bridge. To the east of this point, the Southern Crossing Route continues on

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian pian - Statewide Route Network
GA520 to Jekyll Island, where it terminates. The Southern Crossing begins in the southwest comer of the state and connects Glynn County with Bainbridge, Cairo, Thomasville, Quitman, Valdosta, and Waycross.
The state bicycle routes will provide excellent connectivity with existing and proposed bicycle facilities in the county. A paved path parallels the Torras Causeway from US 17 in Brunswick to St. Simons Island. Both St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island feature an extensive network of bike paths which range from unpaved trails to paved paths on dedicated right of way. The Coastal Route was identified as a possibility during formulation of the MPO plan, so US 17 was denoted as a bicycle corridor. However, US82, which will accommodate the Southern Crossing Route, was not included in the MPO plan. No parallel or alternate routes are included in the MPO plan, because none exist due to the vast marshlands covering much of the county. The Southern Crossing Route would be supplemental to the system proposed in the MPO plan.

Although no routes cross the Tennessee state line to serve Chattanooga directly, two routes do terminate at the line in suburban Rossville. The Chattahoochee Trace Route follows GA 157 and GA189 as it heads south through Walker and Dade Counties. This route passes through Rome, Newnan, Warm Springs, Columbus, and Blakely before terminating in the southeast comer of the state. The March to the Sea Route follows US27 and GA2 through Walker County. as it begins its southerly and easterly trek to Savannah. This route passes through Calhoun, Marietta, Smyrna, Atlanta, Decatur, Madison, Milledgeville, Sandersville, and Statesboro along the way.
Although the bicycle and pedestrian element of the current MPO plan is under development, it appears the Chattahoochee Trace Route would intersect with a proposed South Chattanooga Greenway at the state line. The March to the Sea Route would intersect a proposed South Chickamauga Creek Greenway at two points. The proposed local route meanders between Ringold and Fort Oglethorpe. Both local routes would provide connectivity to other bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout the Chattanooga area, but neither would serve effectively as an. alternate for either state bicycle route. Both the Chattahoochee Trace and March to the Sea Routes would be supplemental to the system planned for the Chattanooga region.

The Columbus area is served by three state bicycle routes. The Chattahoochee Trace begins at the Tennessee state line near Chattanooga and passes through Rome, Newnan, and Warm Springs before entering Muscogee County on GA219. Through Columbus, the route follows GA219, 38th Street, 1st Avenue, 4th Street, Lumpkin Boulevard, and US280 before exiting into Chattahoochee County through Fort Benning and on to its eventual terminus in the southwestern comer of the state. The TransGeorgia route skirts the northern edge of the Columbus area through Harris County and extreme eastern Muscogee County: This route continues east through Fort Valley, Dublin, Soperton, and Metter before ending in Savannah. The Little White House Route connects to the TransGeorgia Route in southern Harris County, then runs north through Warm Springs, Fayetteville, College Park, and East Point before ending in downtown Atlanta.
The Columbus plan incorporates five phases, all are off-road and one appears to have been completed. This phased project involved a paved, lighted extension of Riverwalk from downtown south along the Chattahoochee River to Fort Benning. At Fort Benning, the South Trail, as it is known, ties into a path which meanders through the base and eventually terminates at the National Infantry Museum. While an excellent facility, the route is currently not directly accessible from the Chattahoochee Trace Route, except near downtown Columbus. This offstreet facility could provide a scenic alternative to the Chattahoochee Trace Route on US280, which is characterized by high speed and heavy traffic. Such a possibility is beyond the scope of this plan and would require discussions with Fort Benning and other entities on the signing of these facilities from the statewide network.
Other planned phases include a northern extension of Riverwalk to the Lake Oliver Marina; a greenway along the abandoned Warm Springs rail line running northwest from downtown; a route running through southern Columbus and the western edge of Fort Benning (with an eventual tie-in to the Warm Springs rail line greenway near Flat Rock Park); and a series of neighborhood connectors to the primary local routes. The North Riverwalk extension could be easily incorporated as an alternate route to the 'Chattahoochee Trace Route corridor, while the Warm Springs rail line greenway could provide a logical extension of the Little White House Route from Harris County all the way to downtown Columbus. Of all the local plans reviewed, the planned local routes around Coiumbus appear to have the most potential for providing aesthetic alternative routes to those facilities designated in this statewide plan because many are off-street facilities along dedicated rights-of-way.

Macon is served by the Central Route, which passes through Bibb County north to south along US41 and Rivoli Road. The Central Route begins in northern Cobb County and skirts western and southern suburbs of Atlanta before turning south and passing through Barnesville and Forsyth on the way to Macon. South of the city, the route passes through Perry, Cordele, Tifton and Valdosta before ending at the Florida state line.
The Macon plan identifies five current routes within the city, of which the Central Route is one. The other four are primarily shared lane facilities identified only with signage, although there are segments where striped lanes and sidewalks are used. The Central Route will intersect the other existing routes at two points, providing good connectivity to local destinations in downtown and suburban western portions of the city.
Five additional facilities are proposed in the local plan. Two of these are located to the northwest of Macon and would branch out from the Central Route to connect with local destinations such as Wesleyan College, Lake Tobesofkee and several office parks. Two others involve proposed facilities which provide better continuity to the overall system in the vicinity of downtown and the Ocmulgee River. The final proposal involves the conversion of an abandoned rail line between Macon and Milledgeville into a multi-use facility. The plan identifies only the 3.1 miles within the Macon urbanized area, out of the total 28.1-mile corridor length as a proposed project. If the entire length were eventually to be converted to a bicycle and pedestrian trail, it would provide an excellent link between the Central Route at Macon and the March to the Sea Route at Milledgeville.

The majority of roadways north of downtown are included in both the local and statewide bicycle and pedestrian plans for inclusion in the respective networks. This is not the case to the south. The local plan does identify a parallel long-range facility on separate right of way which could be easily signed as alternate routes into the state system. Also delineated are several facilities in the vicinity of downtown. Of particular note are paths along either side of the Oostanaula River. Once these are completed, along with other planned improvements to the north, it may be possible to identify these facilities as alternate routes to the State system and provide travel segments through the city which do not feature high traffic volumes and/or speeds.

Downtown Savannah is the terminal point for three state bicycle routes: March to the Sea, Savannah River Run, and TransGeorgia. Within Chatham County, all three routes follow US80, GA17, Pine Barren Road, Old Louisville Road, Heidt Road, Chatham Parkway, Telfair Place, Telfair Road, Louisville Road, Liberty Street, and Bull Street before ending at the steps of the City Hall Building on Bay Street. A fourth route also runs through the urbanized area, following the same roadways until Telfair Place. Whereas the other three routes turn east toward downtown, the Coastal Route continues south on Chatham Parkway to US 17, which it then follows for the remainder of the way through Chatham County.
The March to the Sea Route begins at the GeorgialTennessee state line near Chattanooga and passes through Calhoun, Marietta, Smyrna, Atlanta, Decatur, Madison, Milledgeville, Sandersville, and Statesboro on the way to Savannah. The Savannah River Run Route begins at the GeorgiaINorth Carolina state line, but near Dillard in Rabun County, and connects Savannah with the communities of Toccoa, Elberton, Washington, Thomson, and Sylvania. The TransGeorgia begins just north of Columbus and passes through Fort Valley, Dublin, Soperton, and Metter before merging with the March to the Sea Route just south of Statesboro. The Coastal Route is planned to run from the South Carolina state line to the Florida state line and link Savannah, Darien, and Brunswick.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Several existing local bicycle routes provide access to downtown from various points, providing good connectivity with the proposed terminal point of the three state bicycle routes at the City Hall Building. The local plan identifies US80 and US 17 as candidates for future inclusion of bike lanes. Both of these roadways are integral to the statewide system. Portions of Louisville Road and Liberty Street are also identified for future improvements, although local streets on the state system to the west of US 17 are not. The plan identifies a proposed greenway along the. Savannah and Ogeechee Canal which would run roughly parallel to the state bicycle routes in the segment between 1-95 and US 17. If constructed, this facility would provide a more scenic alternative to the proposed on-street route which passes through an extensive industrial zone.

The City of Warner Robins is not served directly by any of the state bicycle routes, but it does lie near the intersection of the Central and TransGeorgia Routes. The Central Route, linking the western and southern suburbs of Atlanta to Forsyth, Macon, Perry, Cordele, Tifton, and Valdosta, runs along Houston County's western border on US41. It intersects the TransGeorgia Route, which connects Columbus, Fort Valley, Dublin, Soperton, Metter, and Savannah, at GA96 about midway between Warner Robins and Perry.
There are a few existing bike routes within the city, but they are short, disjointed, and provide no connectivity to the state system. The local plan proposes the inclusion of both US41 and GA96 in a future bicycle network. Several additional routes emanate from both highways to form a grid throughout the urbanized area. Once implemented, the local plan would integrate well with the state system.
Relation to Improvements in GDOT's Project Management System
All projects planned for implementation by the Department across the state are tracked within the Department's Project Management System (sometimes referred to as Datatrieve). To the extent possible, projects that involve roadways along or crossing the statewide bicycle and pedestrian system were identified early in the development of this plan. This exercise was conducted so that each of these projects could be "tagged" within the database, thereby alerting engineers that preliminary and final roadway designs should accommodate the needs of these potential bicycle and pedestrian users.
28
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
A monthly report is distributed to GDOT staff concerning all projects added to or amended within the Project Management System. The State Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator reviews each of these projects and "tags" the database record for those projects that coincide with or cross a state bike route.
During the document review process, it was recognized that there were deficiencies in the reporting of this data. Within the time and budgetary constraints of producing this plan, these deficiencies could not be adequately addressed and have been recommended as a future plan refinement activity. A brief discussion of each deficiency follows.
Length of Project Many roadway improvement projects are for segments which only partially overlap the statewide bicycle and pedestrian network. Although a total of nearly 339 miles of projects were identified, it is estimated that only 250 to 300 miles of the bike route network are programmed for improvements within the next six years. Refining this estimate will require a detailed comparison of each project's limits to the network and subtracting those segments that are not common.
Intersecting Projects The number of projects that are coded for an intersecting bicycle route could number well into the hundreds. Easily identifiable projects, such as interstate interchanges, have been tagged, but many of the other intersecting roadway projects may not have been identified. It is anticipated that GIS software programs will be used to capture the remaining intersections so that may be designed with bicyclists and pedestrians in mind.
Parallel Routes While the bicycle route network must remain as stable as possible, there are numerous possibilities for improvements where a more suitable parallel route scheduled for improvements can be incorporated into the system to replace an existing roadway. One example discussed at length during the preparation of this plan is GA92, which parallels a segment of the Northern Crescent Route through northern Cobb County and southern Cherokee County. The GA92 corridor is presently in various stages of design and construction and could provide a vital link in a route which currently utilizes several high-volume roadways in an area which is struggling to upgrade a transportation infrastructure overwhelmed by rapid growth. While volumes and speeds on GA92 are higher than the planned route roadways, well-designed facilities along the GA92 corridor could significantly improve the overall safety of the bicycle and pedestrian route.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Enhancement projects that involved the construction of specific bicycle and pedestrian facilities were discussed earlier in this section .: The GOOT work program includes a number of bicycle and pedestrian-related improvements funded primarily by the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program, such as safety programs, installing bike storage racks, and constructing sidewalks to serve transit centers. This program is eligible only to the Atlanta region because of its air quality non-compliance status. No attempt was made to identify these projects because most are either of an ongoing nature, not location specific, or primarily benefit only local travel by their respective travel modes, rather than intercity movements along a particular route. However, individual CMAQ projects are reviewed whenever there is a correlation to the statewide network. Local Projects The Project Management System includes only GOOT-involved projects. The state bike route network, as currently planned, uses off-system roadways (county, city, or other facilities) on approximately 30 percent of its mileage. Unfortunately, this means that a large percentage of the bike route network can not be easily earmarked in the roadway improvement process. A determined effort must be undertaken to work with local governments to see that their projects consider bicycle and pedestrian friendly design. While not part of the state route system, it is important to note that the State Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator has begun tagging those new or amended GOOT projects that correlate to local bikeways. These bikeways must be part of a locally adopted bicycle and pedestrian plan. It would be advantageous to a.) review all existing MPO and local plans for correlation, and b.) have all future MPO and local projects coded in a manner allowing easy cross-checking with the Project Management System.

SECTION 4 Implementation
The Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian System, as outlined in this plan, will ultimately form a 2,943-mile system of routes throughout the state. The majority of the network will follow rural roadways, with local streets and separate right-of-way paths being used to the extent possible within urban areas.
Implementation Strategy
The scale of the network demands that the system be implemented in increments. The first step, to be accomplished within the next five years,is to develop mapping and guide books suitable for mass distribution and to sign each of the 14 routes detailed in this plan. At the present time, GDOT does not anticipate dedicating funds exclusively for physical improvements, such as repaving or widening outside lanes, specifically to accommodate bicyclists. Rather, GDOT will implement internal procedures so that designers incorporate bicycle and pedestrian friendly elements into programmed improvement projects as they move through the design and construction stages. Using this approach of providing extra travel lane width; wide, paved shoulders; or designated bicycle lanes routinely during construction or reconstruction activities will translate into nearly all of the total network being designed to standards that allow the safe and efficient movement of both bicyclists and motorists within the next 20 years.
Five of the most likely bicycle route signing situations and typical installations are shown in Figure 2. Installation 1 is used in advance of major intersections to inform the traveler that the bicycle route either continues straight or turns left or right, as the situation warrants. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTeD) contains the following passage on the bicycle route sign depicted:
''Where it is desired to establish a unique identification (route designation) for a State or local bicycle route, the standard Bike Route Marker (M1-8) should be used. The route marker (M1-8) shall contain a numerical designation and shall have a green background with a reflectorized white legend and border. . . . Where desired, supplemental plaques can be used with the . . . M1-8 signs to furnish additional information, such as directional changes in the route, and intermediate range distance and destination information. . .. The appropriate arrow sign (M7-1 through M7-7), if used, should be placed below the Route Sign or Route Marker. These signs shall have a white arrow on a green background."
Where possible or practical, the sign will be mounted in conjunction with other appropriate roadway signs to minimize installation costs. In many situations, the bicycle route sign will need to be mounted on new posts or by itself where the route deviates onto county roads or local streets.
31
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The second installation in Figure 2 is used just beyond major intersections to assure bicyclists that the correct decision was made at the last intersection. In rural areas where communities or major intersections are several miles apart, bicycle route marker signs should be placed at intervals of not more than five miles to reassure bicyclists that they are still following the route. Distances between signs may be as close as 1/4 mile in densely developed urban areas. Where possible or practical, the sign will be mounted in conjunction with other appropriate roadway signs to minimize installation costs. In many situations, the bicycle route sign will need to be mounted on new posts or by itself where the route deviates onto county roads or local streets.
A supplemental plaque warning bicyclists of potential slick conditions should be mounted on both roadway approaches of every at-grade railroad crossing, as shown in the third installation of Figure 2. It is particularly important if the tracks cross the roadway at a 45-degree angle or less, a situation where narrow bicycle tires can become trapped in the flangeway, causing a loss of control. During improvement projects, priority will be given to providing adequate room for bicyclists to align themselves at a right angle on an approach or installing compressible flangeway fillers to enhance safety. The plaque is a variation of the W8-10 advance warning sign contained in the MUTCD. It is estimated that there are approximately 120 such crossings along the statewide network. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than 120, but this number was used in estimating sign costs.
Where a major roadway crosses a bicycle route, motorists on the intersecting facility must be warned of potential bicyclists on the other roadway. Two possible designs are preferred, as shown in the fourth installation of Figure 2. The first is for unique situations where more aesthetic signs are desired, such as beginning or end points of the route or on roadways which provide direct links to a sizeable nearby community not directly served by the route. These signs feature a green and white color scheme, which is the reverse of the standard M 1-8 sign and contains room to print the name of the route and include a distinctive logo or pattern. This device is not contained in the MUTCD. A directional arrow (M7-5) is mounted below on a supplemental plaque. The second design will be used in the vast majority of situations and features the W 11-1 advance warning sign from the MUTCD, with a supplemental plaque emphasizing in text that bicycles can be expected ahead.
The final typical sign installation of Figure 2 features a standard black on yellow advance warning sign with a text message advising motorists to be aware of possible bicyclists on a bridge ahead. This sign is not contained in the MUTCD. The statewide network is estimated to feature about 679 bridges. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where routes cross new, limited-access facilities or at-grade railroad crossings have been replaced by overpasses. The first scenario is more likely, so 679 can be considered the maximum number of bridge crossings which exist. Only a small portion

of this number are sufficiently long enough to warrant these signs, as the majority of bridges cross small creeks and have decks of less than 100 feet. GDOT will install these signs in advance of all bridges longer than 500 feet which do not have shoulders or wide curb lanes (outside travel lanes more than 12 feet wide). In addition, all bridges more than 1,000 feet long will be signed, regardless of deck cross section. For the purposes of this plan, it was assumed that approximately 200 of the total 679 bridges (30%) would meet the requirements for a Type 5 sign installation on both approaches.
A number of other regulatory, warning and information signs are contained in the MUTCD for use in special situations. Many of these signs display instructions to bicyclists and motorists on the use of bicycle lanes and paths. These signs will probably be used only sparingly in the near future since most of the network currently does not feature such dedicated facilities. As improvements are made to facilities, and as striped and marked bicycle lanes in particular become more common, more of these signs will be used.
The only additional sign specifically displayed in this plan is a route marker sign recommended for routes that cross over state boundaries, shown in Figure 3. The Coastal Route, which runs from the South Carolina state line northwest of Savannah to the Florida state line south of Kingsland, is envisioned to connect with routes in both of those adjoining states. Other routes have similar potential, but the Coastal Route is the only one seriously discussed to date. If a route linking South Carolina, Georgia and Florida can be developed, the MI-9, with a consistent numerical designation in each state, should be used.

Design Standards
In August 1991, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published a Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities. Prepared by the AASHTO Task Force on Geometric Design, the document provides general guidance on inventorying existing conditions, analyzing potential improvements, and selecting an appropriate type of facility. For on-street routes, it provides general information on the drainage grates, railroad crossings, pavement materials, traffic control devices, shoulders, wide curb lanes, signed routes, and bicycle lanes. Preferred dimensions of bicycle lanes and intersection geometries are also included.
For paths, the guide presents a discussion of the merits and drawbacks of such facilities, the need to prohibit access by motor vehicles, and the need to consider other users, such as joggers or inline skaters. Detailed design standards for width, clearance, speed limits, horizontal alignment, superelevation, grade, sight distance, intersection geometries, signing, marking, pavement, structures, drainage, and lighting are included.

One design issue that was not addressed in the 1991 AASHTO standards concerns grooves placed into paved shoulders (know as shoulder rumble strips) to alert motorists that they are deviating from the travel lane. While the safety benefits provided to motorists by these rumble strips have been well documented, the grooves render that portion of the pavement unusable for bicyclists. Concern about GOOT's current policy of installing rumble strips on all projects involving shoulder improvements was voiced repeatedly during development of this plan. One potential option would involve placing a narrower set of grooves, perhaps two feet wide, immediately to the right of the outside travel lane. The remainder of the shoulder would remain available for bicycle travel while motorist safety would not be compromised. This strategy will work well along roadways having paved shoulders six feet or more in width, but will not suffice where shoulders are narrower. This issue will be studied in greater detail and once a decision has been reached it will become standard design policy within GOOT.
The AASHTO design guide is currently being revised to reflect knowledge and experience gained over the past seven years, a period which has seen' a tremendous acceleration in the development of such facilities. Many states and local jurisdictions have developed unique solutions in situations where the AASHTO standards could not be followed due to prohibitive topography, the lack of available right-of-way or other considerations. A new version of the AASHTO design guide, expected to be completed during 1998, will reflect these experiences and identify mitigation possibilities where standards could not be strictly maintained at all times.
GOOT will implement the Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian System in accordance with the policies, procedures, and design standards contained in the revised AASHTO guide. In the interim, the current Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices will continue to be the primary resources used to ensure that the network is appropriate, safe, and enjoyable.
Cost Estimates
Since the network will be improved in conjunction with other roadway construction or reconstruction projects, the costs associated with adding extra pavement width or special striping will be marginalized. Therefore, no overall cost to upgrade the entire roadway network to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian friendly elements has been developed.
Signing cost estimates have been developed (see Table 5 on the following page) for each of five typical installations shown in Figure 2. Actual costs may be slightly higher or lower based on discretion used by GOOT District personnel as to where precisely signs should be located or are not necessary.

In the future, the Coastal Route may become part of an interstate bicycle route between South Carolina and Florida. As discussed earlier, MUTCD sign standards dictate different route marker signs for interstate and intrastate bicycle routes. In this event, of the total estimated $24,000 cost to sign the Coastal Route, approximately $16,000 worth of route marker signs would need to be replaced.
Each GDOT District will require estimates of the portion that is their responsibility, so the $416,000 has been subdivided across the seven districts (see Table 6 on the following page). District 5 may command a higher percentage of the total budget for Type 2 and 5 installations due to the lengthy distances between major intersections and the frequency of long bridges over rivers and tidal marshlands. However, District 5 has less need for Type I and Type 4 installations than other districts. The net result is that route mileage within the district as a percentage of the total budget should be an accurate indicator of the signing budget required for districts which are relatively similar in urban/rural development patterns.
The major limitation to this method of budget distribution is that it neglects the impact of urban density, where decision points are more common and signs must occur on a more frequent basis to reassure users that they are still following the route. Each district has one or more urban centers and large areas of rural land, with the exception of District 7 (Atlanta). Since District 7 is considerably different in character than the other GDOT Districts, a slightly larger percentage of the budget has been allocated to this area. This adjustment is necessary to ensure that bicyclists can successfully navigate the many turns and heavily developed corridors along the six routes in the metropolitan Atlanta area.

GnOT will also develop an overall system map and guide booklets for each of the 14 routes for mass distribution. To the extent possible, maps developed for this plan will be used, with additional detail and color added to make them more "user-friendly." A total of 10,000 system maps and 1,000 of each route guide booklet will be produced, at an estimated total cost of $60,000. This estimate includes both staff time and production costs and may ultimately be higher or lower depending on the level of detail and artistic quality of the final products. Although no decision has been made in this regard, much of the cost can be offset by selling the maps and booklets, rather than distributing them free of charge. Revenue can also be generated by selling advertisement space to bicycle shops, local visitors bureaus and other parties with a direct interest in capitalizing on bicycle tourism.
Funding Sources
As discussed earlier, construction costs to upgrade roadways to include bicycle and pedestrian friendly elements will be incorporated into the budget for other improvement projects, such as widenings and repavings. Funding for signing can come from a number of GOOT categories. There are several sections within the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA2l) which deal specifically with bicycle and pedestrian activities and the prominent related programs are listed below. Please be aware that the interpretation and development of regulations for TEA21 has just begun. The final rules may alter TEA2l implementation.
Section 1202 - National Highway System Funds (NHS) NHS funds may be used to construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities on land adjacent to any highway on the National Highway System. With TEA2l, NHS funds can also now be spent on non-motorized projects within Interstate corridors, something that ISTEA prohibited.
39
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Section 1108 - Surface Transportation Program Funds (STP) Bicycle and pedestrian projects remain eligible for STP funding. Sidewalk improvements to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are specifically made eligible.
Section 1201 - Transportation Enhancement Activities Program Funds (TEA) This program remains essentially the same with ISTEA. Funds may be used for construction activities or for non-construction projects, such as brochures, route maps, and public service announcements, related to use of these modes. A minimum of ten percent of the statewide allocation must be used for TEA projects, a major category of which have been bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Georgia. Among the TEA21 expanded list of eligible activities is a provision for safety and educational activities for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Section 1110 - Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program Funds (CMAQ) These funds may be used for both construction and non-construction activities related to bicycling and walking in areas designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as not meeting federal standards for airborne pollutants. At the present jime, the Atlanta metropolitan region is the only non-attainment area within the State of Georgia.'
Section 1115- Federal Lands Highway Funds These funds may be used to construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities in conjunction with roads, highways and parkways at the discretion of the department charged with the administration of such funds. The State of Georgia has numerous large areas managed by the federal government, including several military bases, large expanses of national forest land and a small number of sites administered by the National Park Service. Much of the Georgia coast is federally protected as well, but no routes are planned to serve these areas due to the environmental sensitivity and inaccessibility of the wetlands and barrier islands.
Section 1219 - Scenic Byways Program Funds These funds may be used to construct facilities along scenic highways for the use of pedestrians and bicyclists. GOaT currently attempts to include such facilities in its Scenic Byways Program whenever possible. Funding availability under this section is extremely difficult due to the small amounts allocated annually by Congress.
Section 1112 - National Recreational Trails Funds These funds may be used for a variety of recreational trails programs to benefit bicyclists,
pedestrians, and other non-motorized and motorized users. Projects must be consistent with a
Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan' required by the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. Funding amounts are very limited.
40
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Section 1401 - Hazard Elimination Program With TEA21, bicycling and walking hazards are now included in the list of eligible activities for this program. In addition, the definition of "a public road" now includes a publicly owned bicycle or pedestrian pathway or trail and traffic calming measures.
Section 2001 and 2002 - Highway Safety (Title 23, Section 402) and Safety Research and Development (Title 23, Section 403) Funding These are funds available for highway safety improvements and safety research and development. Under ISTEA's final rules, pedestrian and bicyclist safety activities received priority. The final rules for TEA21 have not yet been developed.
Section 3003 - Transit Enhancement Activity Funding' This is a new funding program from TEA21 and it clarifies ISTEA's transit funding allowances for pedestrian and bicycle access to transit facilities. It is created with a one-percent set-aside of Urban Area Formula transit grants (Section 3007). The funding can be used for, among other things, bicycle and pedestrian access to mass transportation, including bicycle storage facilities and installing equipment for transporting bicycles on mass transportation vehicles.
Other Funding Sources GDOT is currently constitutionally prohibited from dedicating revenue from the state gasoline tax to construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities, unless construction can be incorporated into broader scope roadway improvements. It is possible that this prohibition, may be removed at some time in the future and these funds will become available for such activities.
Since approximately 30 percent of the total network follows county or city roadways, some projects will likely need to be funded from local sources. Typically, local bicycle and pedestrian .' improvements have been funded through allocations within city or county transportation budgets, general operating budgets and Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) initiatives.
The private sector provides another source of revenue for 'the construction of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities. Developers can be required to develop facilities as a condition of zoning
approval. Civic or advocacy groups may be willing to donate material and labor to help
construct and maintain facilities or play another role in the overall implementation program. The
PATH Foundation in Atlanta, for example, is active in the construction of off-road facilities and
public information activities to encourage their safe use. Virtually every major city in Georgia,
and several smaller ones, have bicycling clubs which can be utilized as an important resource in
this effort.
.
41
Georgia Bicycle arid Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Maintenance
Bicyclists and pedestrians frequently complain that the construction of facilities, while well intentioned, is not sufficient. Unless these facilities are maintained, they can quickly become unsafe as pavement markings are worn away, signs fade or are stolen, and debris is allowed to accumulate. Before bicycle lanes and other facilities are constructed, the type and frequency of maintenance procedures and responsibility must be considered carefully. A maintenance policy should be in place before any portion of the system is signed or physically improved.
Monitoring and Evaluation
As with any expenditure of public funds, it will be desirable to monitor how effectively funds to provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities are used. Unlike roadway traffic counts, however, determining bicycle and pedestrian volumes at critical locations along the entire 2,943-mile network will be labor intensive and expensive. In urban areas, volumes may be sufficiently heavy enough that an observation count can be conducted over a period of several hours or days. Potential high volume segments should be identified upon network implementation, with these locations targeted for counts at least once over the following year during peak bicycling season.
Rural segments may experience prolonged periods of time with no activity, particularly during winter months, so counts are probably not feasible on these route segments. Rather, a system should be implemented whereby users can self-report their activities. Although data from such a collection process would not stand up to rigorous statistical evaluation, it could provide good insight into general travel patterns, relative volumes and the characteristics of network users. One or a combination of several possible methods can be utilized to obtain this information at a relatively low cost. Each would require considerable coordination with other agencies throughout the state and the dedication of staff time to ensure that the data is collected and evaluated on a routine basis.
One possibility is to incorporate a survey into whatever information is made widely available to the public. If a pocket "flip" guide is developed, a tear-out postage paid card can be added that queries the users on what route(s) he/she is planning to follow, the dates of the trip, the number of people in the group, specific endpoints and planned overnight stays. Demographic data such as home address, age, sex, income and other information can also be requested on a voluntary basis so that public relation campaigns can be tailored to reach the widest audience possible.
A second data collection possibility is to establish "information" stations at frequent locations along the route. The station could be as simple as a glass paneled bulletin board with a registry or a supply of questionnaire post cards similar to that envisioned for the flip guides. A registry would allow bicyclists to record their journey in much the same way as hikers do when embarking upon the Appalachian Trail. With strategic positioning of these information stations, GDOT may be able to develop partnerships with local chambers of commerce or other civic
42
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
groups who could provide maintenance and assemble data periodically in exchange for being allowed to place brochures and pamphlets at the station. Network users could benefit immensely from easy access to flyers on motels, camping, bicycle shops and local points of interest which could be placed at an information station in or near the numerous small communities along the network. The concept of surveying about planned or previous trips can be extended to another level by incorporating it into ODOT's Internet site. The Internet has experienced explosive growth since its inception and will continue to become a more frequently used source of information in the foreseeable future. More discussion on the possibilities offered by the Internet is provided in the concluding section of this document, which addresses future refinement of the bicycle and pedestrian plan and program.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
SECTION 5 Future Activities
Several future activities must be undertaken before the Georgia Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian System is implemented. While this document provides a good overview of the planned system, it is not intended to provide a detailed set of "steps" or "procedures" to transform concepts into physical reality. So that activities can proceed in implementing a statewide program, a general list of future activities has been developed. Efforts that must be undertaken by GOaT include the following.
A. Within GOaT's database, those current work program projects that lie along corridors planned for inclusion on the. bicycle and pedestrian system must be "tagged." Ideally; this tagging should provide an indication of whether the entire project length is included on the network, only a portion overlaps, if the project intersects the bicycle and pedestrian route at a single point, or if the project corridor is a convenient parallel route for a route contained in this plan. Identification of these projects will require a considerably more detailed review of the work program than was conducted as part of this work effort.
B. Procedures must be implemented to ensure that connectivity with the bicycle and pedestrian system is reviewed as a routine matter during both the planning and engineering phases of every project.
C. The seven GOaT District Advisory Subcommittees should review data in this document for routes which pass through their jurisdiction and suggest any necessary improvements and/or corrections for the next evolution of this plan. As part of this review, the subcommittees should verify that no unpaved roads were accidentally included in the network and that route segments identified as being or not being on the state bicycle system are correct. Detailed route evaluations should also be conducted to identify specific hazards, such as rough or broken pavement, narrow bridges and grates which are oriented parallel to the flow of traffic. Where off-street paths can be incorporated easily as alternate routes, the subcommittees should undertake the coordination activities necessary for this to occur. A good example of where a path can be used as an alternate to a roadway is between Fort Benning and downtown Columbus. The two locations are connected by a path within the base and the South River Trail, a recently completed extension of the popular Riverwalk project in downtown. Although an open base, authorities at Fort Benning would need to be consulted for this alternate link to be established.
45
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
D. GDOT must work closely with city and county transportation departments to sign and improve segments that follow roads not on the state bicycle system . .Simultaneous with the review process by the GDOT District Advisory Subcommittees, these local entities should be invited to review the plan so that they can determine what roadways under their jurisdictions are included on the network. This review will allow local planners and engineers to ensure that projects along these routes consider bicycles and pedestrians.
E. Many routes currently follow the most logical through route in cities and towns, rarely deviating onto more scenic and quiet sidestreets. Cities and counties should be encouraged to develop local "loops" which network users can follow to become better acquainted with the community.
F. A process must be established whereby lines of communication with local planners are improved so that as local bicycle and pedestrian facilities are constructed or local plans are revised, these changes can be reflected in future versions of the Statewide Plan.
G. Before signing all 2,943 miles of the network, GDOT staff should review the current implementation strategy. Rather than signing every route within the next five years and making necessary physical improvements later in conjunction with other projects, it may be more advantageous to prioritize routes and make improvements to entire corridor lengths as resources allow.
H. A formal process must be set in place whereby requests for network additions or -alterations can be addressed adequately. Once details of this plan become widely available, GDOT is likely to receive numerous requests from cities and counties which do not currently lie along any of the routes. This process should also be valid for altering routes to bypass unsuitable conditions that may not have been evident when this plan was prepared or developed later. Several additions have already been proposed, including the possibility of developing: a loop or spur off the Central Route serving the Andersonville Civil War prisoner of war site, a spur or alternate alignment for the March to the Sea Route which passes through Rockdale and Newton Counties, particularly the Georgia International Horse Park, Oxford, and Covington, a link to Albany from the Wiregrass Route, a route passing through Moultrie/Colquitt County, a spur linking the Southern Crossing Route with Moody Air Force Base, north of Valdosta,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In August 1995, the State Transportation Board adopted several goals to guide the development and implementation of a statewide bicycle and pedestrian system. These goals are listed below.
. Promote bicycling and walking as mobility options in urban and rural areas of the state.
Develop a transportation network of primary bicycle routes throughout the state to provide connectivity for intrastate and interstate bicycle travel.
Promote establishment of U.S. numbered bicycle routes in Georgia as part of a national network of bicycle routes.
Encourage economic development opportunities that enhance bicycle and pedestrian mobility.
Promote non-motorized transportation as a means of congestion mitigation. Promote non-motorized transportation as an environmentally friendly means
of mobility.
Promote connectivity of non-motorized facilities with other modes of transportation.
This document, approved by the Board on August 21, 1997, focuses on the goal of developing a . statewide primary route network while addressing each of the other goals. The network is comprised of 14 routes totaling 2,943 miles. A statewide advisory committee consisting of staff from GDOT Districts, the Federal Highway Administration, Metropolitan. Planning Organizations, Regional Development Centers, the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia, the Georgia Municipal Associations, local planning departments, bicycle clubs, and other state agencies evaluated each proposed corridor and defined routes. In evaluating routes, a variety of factors relating to the appeal and safety of a roadway for bicycling were considered, including: accident history, total traffic volumes, truck volumes, speeds, shoulder width, travel lane width, pavement condition, network connectivity, access to cities, access to major points of interest, aesthetics, and the presence of potentially hazardous spot conditions. While bicyclists are seen as the primary users of the route network, pedestrians will benefit as paved shoulders are constructed on rural sections throughout the state.
Routes were developed to complement and supplement other transportation programs and
projects already planned or underway. Connectivity with 50 bicycle and pedestrian related
Transportation Enhancement Activity (TEA) projects was assessed, as was connectivity with the
IIMPO area plans around the state. Finally, a review of the most recent GDOT construction
work program identified projects, which lie along the route network. This exercise was
conducted so that each project can be "tagged" within GDOT's database, thereby alerting
engineers that preliminary and final roadway and/or bridge design plans should accommodate
elements amenable to use by these bicyclists and pedestrians.

a connection along US 1 and GA40 from the Southern Crossing at Waycross to the Coastal Route at Kingsland, with a continuation east to St. Marys.
I. Coordination with adjacent states should continue so that routes can be integrated, particularly the Coastal Route between South Carolina and Florida. These contacts can also be used to share ideas and experiences with statewide bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts.
J. Some method must be developed to disseminate essential elements of this document to the general public. A pocket "flip" guide for each route is one possibility. These guides would include a series of strip maps similar to those contained in this plan, along with the locations of bicycle shops, state parks, points of interest and emergency information unique to each route. In addition, general information such as the "rules of the road", safety tips and a small map of the network can be included on each of the route flip guides. To minimize staff time requirements to fulfill information requests, it will be beneficial to upload as much information as possible to the GDOT Internet site. Until flip guides can be developed, sections of this document, including maps, corridor descriptions, tables, and narrative, can be added to the site relatively quickly. Ultimately, corridor maps can have clickable features such as towns, historic sites, and parks, with links in place to transport Internet users to other home pages offering detailed information on these sites .
. K. During preparation of this plan, a few opportunities for network improvement were identified. These opportunities will require a thorough review of the. overall network and extensive additional fieldwork, so they were not incorporated into this version of the Statewide Plan. These opportunities include:
reviewing the Savannah River Run Route to determine if the opportunity exists to provide at least a couple of places where the river is within view before reaching Savannah,
47
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
providing a direct route through Augusta, rather than linking the city to the overall system via a spur off the Savannah River Run Route,
reviewing the Chattahoochee Trace, which also features infrequent views of its namesake waterway, for locations where crossings or views are possible, and
renaming the northern half of the Chattahoochee Trace Route, which deviates from the course of the Chattahoochee River and parallels the Alabama state line north to Tennessee, with the Chattahoochee Trace either terminating in Columbus or extended northeast to a more logical endpoint such as Atlanta or Helen.
L. Lastly, GOOT should promote the system through a public information campaign involving television and newspaper feature stories. Regardless of how well a network is planned, it will go unused if the public is unaware of its existence. Bicyclists can provide an economic boost to communities along the network similar to that experienced along the Natchez Trace in Mississippi. Ecotourism is growing swiftly in popularity and Georgia, with its diverse scenic beauty, favorable weather, interesting history and unique communities, stands to capitalize significantly if the network can be implemented and promoted in the near future.

Route 10 (Southern Crossing) Overview
The Southern Crossing Route runs east/west between Seminole County, in the southwest comer of Georgia, and Jekyll Island, on the coast in Glynn County.
The western terminal point is located at the intersection of Seminole County Road 221 (River Road) and GA253.
The eastern terminal point is located at the eastern end of the GA520 bridge spanning the Intracoastal Waterway to Jekyll Island. This point is the entrance to Jekyll Island State Park.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network The Southern Crossing Route has 47 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps,
not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first
scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Southern Crossing Route has 5 at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
The scale of the network demands that the system be implemented in increments. The first step, to be accomplished within the next five years, is to sign each of the 14 routes detailed in this plan, and to develop mapping and guidebooks suitable for mass distribution and website publication. Five typical sign installations were developed with an estimated total cost of $416,000 to place slightly more than 8,000 signs along the length of the network. A total of 10,000 system maps and 1,000 of each route guide booklet would be produced, at an estimated cost of $60,000. A variety of potential federal funding sources were identified for statewide and local bikeway system development.
At the present time, GDOT does not anticipate dedicating funds exclusively for physical improvements such as repaving or widening outside travel lanes specifically to accommodate bicyclists nor improving sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrians. Rather, GDOT will implement internal procedures so that designers incorporate bicycle and pedestrian friendly elements into programmed improvement projects as they move through the design and construction stages. This approach of providing extra curb lane width; wide, paved shoulders; bike lanes, and sidewalks routinely during construction or reconstruction activities will translate into nearly all of the network being designed to standards that allow the safe and efficient movement of bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists within the next 20 years.
This document is intended mainly for planning and design purposes, but it can also be used by bicyclists and pedestrians for route planning. The document concludes with a brief listing of future activities required to transform the concepts presented into physical reality. These efforts include the following.
Identifying projects along the network within GDOT's databases. Implementing procedures so that bicycle and pedestrian needs are reviewed
routinely. Review routes and identify existing long-distance, off-street facilities
developed by local jurisdictions. Coordinate with local jurisdictions to sign and improve segments not on the
state highway system. Encourage local jurisdictions to plan, approve, and develop local routes and
networks connecting to the statewide network. . Reflect local facilities in future revisions of the Statewide Plan. Establish formal process for nomination and evaluation of system additions
or modifications. Coordinate with adjacent states on network integration. Explore the possibility of posting plan information to the GDOT Internet site. Evaluate system improvement opportunities identified during preparation of
the plan. Promote the system through a public information campaign.

The Wiregrass Route has 53 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Wiregrass Route has 9 at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
SECTION 1 Study Overview
Bicycling and walking are becoming increasingly popular across the nation as viable modes of transportation for a variety of reasons. In many urban areas, roadway congestion, lack of parking and short trip distances combine to create an excellent opportunity for trips of this nature. In modem society, where leisure time is becoming increasingly scarce, bicycling, and walking for work and personal trips provide an enjoyable, efficient, and environmentally friendly method to incorporate exercise into hectic schedules. State and local transportation agencies are also looking to these transportation modes to relieve some of the strain on a transportation infrastructure overburdened by private automobile travel.
Additional impetus for bicycle and pedestrian planning has been mandated at the federal level since the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. This six-year federal appropriations bill, which expired in 1997 and was extended through mid-1998 while Congress debated its reauthorization, required inclusion of bicycle and pedestrian planning programs as part of the overall transportation planning process. States and urban areas were encouraged to promote increased use of non-motorized modes to achieve a more balanced and integrated transportation system that is less dependent on the private automobile.
To carry out federal mandates, ISTEA required that each state designate a bicycle and pedestrian coordinator who oversees the development of plans, identifies projects, and is responsible for making recommendations on bicycle and pedestrian initiatives to agency management. Although not required, many local and regional agencies also have one or more staff members with similar responsibilities for their jurisdictions.
The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA21) replaced ISTEA and was signed into law in June 1998. Preliminary analysis of TEA21 indicates that it incorporates and builds upon the bicycle and pedestrian-related programs found in ISTEA.
Plan Development Process
Georgia's statewide planning for bicycles and pedestrians had its origin in the Transportation 2000 program workshops, conducted at 15 locations around the state in 1993. The Transportation 2000 initiative represents a significant undertaking by the Department to involve the citizens of Georgia in developing a vision for future transportation. A Transportation 2000 Commission, comprised of public and private sector participants representing a broad spectrum of individuals and agencies, spearheaded the effort to create a new perspective on mobility that is responsive to today's challenges. The desire of many Georgians for bicycle facilities as a part of an integrated, intermodal transportation system was voiced clearly at each of the 15 workshops.

Transportation Plan Statewide Route Network
Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
In 1994, an initial Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Corridor Plan was presented at public information meetings across Georgia. The document was amended as necessary and completed in July 1995, with GDOT Board approval following in August of that year. Most local bicycle and pedestrian plans for urban areas around Georgia were also prepared during this time period. Since the local plans and the Statewide Plan were each begun and completed on widely varying schedules, it was not possible to coordinate the contents of these documents to a significant degree.
The first version of the Statewide Plan outlined the planning process; defined goals, recommendations, and an activity agenda; presented a glossary of terms and design standards; and identified 12 intercity bicycle and pedestrian corridors comprising approximately 2,800 miles. Route descriptions provided an overview of the' major highways, cities, and landmarks along each and included an approximate total distance. Maps delineating these 12 corridors were also presented.
One important point regarding the contents of that plan should be made. The document concentrated on intercity routes, with local route planning left to the discretion of MPOs, RDCs, counties, and cities. Bicyclists were considered to be the primary potential users of this statewide system. It was assumed that pedestrian travel would be concentrated within urban areas, where shorter trips and greater development densities make walking a feasible mode of transportation. As a matter of practicality, the preliminary plan and this revision focuses heavily on bicycling; however, the Department will consider infrastructure improvements for pedestrians in urban locations. Paved shoulders that are constructed as part of the statewide route network will also be of benefit to pedestrians in rural locations.
Several years prior to the first version of the Statewide Plan, GDOT participated with the Governor's Office of Energy Resources, the Southern Bicycle League, the Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade, and Tourism in identifying an unofficial network of 10 bicycle routes. Routes were selected to coincide with parks and recreation sites throughout the state that provide access to facilities important to' long distance bicycle touring, such as overnight camping and showers. This public/private venture resulted in extensive use of the 10 routes included in a "Georgia Bicycle Touring Guide." The 1995 version of the plan incorporated the 10 routes, plus two more identified from public comments.
While the plan described the framework of the envisioned system, it did not provide a sufficient level of detail to proceed with implementation. GDOT recognized this limitation and immediately initiated a second phase to the planning process. A statewide advisory committee reviewed the 12 corridors and provided the Department with comments and observations on 'routing for each corridor. This committee's membership included staff from each GDOT District office, the Federal Highway Administration, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Regional Development Centers (RDCs), the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia, the Georgia Municipal Association, city planning departments, bicycle clubs, and several other state agencies.

The Augusta Link Route has seven bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Augusta Link Route has one at-grade railroad crossing. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.

Georgia Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan - Statewide Route Network
Seven subcommittees were formed from the larger Committee, based on GDOT District boundaries. Each subcommittee was charged with evaluating the preliminary routes within their district. and making recommendations to the overall committee. In evaluating the routes, subcommittees were instructed to consider a variety of factors that relate to the appeal and safety of a particular road and route for bicycling. These factors included:
accident history, total traffic volumes, truck volumes, speeds, shoulder width, travel lane width, pavement condition, network connectivity, access to cities and major points of interest, aesthetics, and presence of potentially hazardous spot conditions, such as narrow bridges.
Each subcommittee was allowed to develop their own evaluation criteria and to define what constituted an acceptable standard based on the conditions unique to the area in question. For instance, whether a particular roadway in the mountains of north Georgia provides a logical and safe route between two points must be evaluated independently of the standards used for evaluating roads in the relatively flat terrain characteristic of the southern half of the state. Some subcommittees developed elaborate ranking systems and defined thresholds of acceptability while others simply used judgment and experience in qualitatively assessing the routes.
On March 26, 1996, a statewide teleconference was conducted to allow representatives of each subcommittee to present their recommendations. In general, the changes discussed were relatively minor and involved shifting short segments to parallel routes that featured conditions more conducive to bicycling. Some route deviations were proposed to provide access to specific points of interest, such as a state park or a community's historic district, while others were for more pragmatic reasons. Some additional routes were discussed, but no recommendations were made in this regard. The integrity of the preliminary system was maintained and individual routes were enhanced in several locations.

The Northern Crescent Route has 18 bridge crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some bridges crossing minor water features have likely been replaced by culverts. Additional bridges may exist where the corridor crosses a new limited access facility or an at-grade railroad crossing has been replaced. The first scenario is more likely, so the figure given should be treated as a maximum.
The Northern Crescent Route has two at-grade railroad crossings. This number was derived from maps, not a physical inventory of the corridor. Some crossings have two or more sets of tracks. Some lines may have been abandoned and the crossing removed, while additional crossings may exist where short spur lines were not depicted on the maps. The actual number of rail crossings may be more or less than the figure given.
