BACKGROUND

A summary of civic engagement and workshop activities, findings, and recommendations for proposed improvements to the railroad crossing at Atlanta Avenue was presented to the City Commissioners at a Monday, July 15, 2019 work session at Decatur City Hall. You can review the proceedings at decaturga.com/streaming-video.

In August, 2019, the City Commission approved the concept plan for the Railroad Crossing Improvements @ Atlanta Avenue. The plan includes a new, simplified crossing at Adair Street between West Howard Avenue and West College Avenue and a modern traffic signal system at the new railroad crossing and at Olympic Place. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, planning for this important community improvement was suspended in March of 2020.
