Hawthorne
Avenue
ACC Transportation and Public Works staff is initiating a study
for a possible three lane reconfiguration of the section of Hawthorne Avenue between
Oglethorpe and Prince Avenue. A public forum has been scheduled for March 28th

Sharrows
Over
150 sharrows and "Share the Road" signs were installed in 2004. Because
of problems with the paint wearing off in high volume locations (such as King
and Oglethorpe), ACC Transportation and Public Works is considering a demonstration
project to try a new type of thermoplastic to see if the wear improves. They are
interested in hearing any thoughts you may have regarding wherther or not the
thermoplastic may present a safety hazard for cyclists. Contact TPW Director David
Clark davidclark@co.clarke.ga.us Please be brief!
