PLANNING AND BACKGROUND

Project Justification Statement: The proposed project is part of a series of SR 101 projects that each

consist of the widening of SR 101 in order to improve mobility and create a safer roadway

corridor for the growing southern portion of Floyd County. In 1994, the GDOT Office of Planning

performed a study of the entire SR 101 corridor and recommended the route be widened in order

to maintain an acceptable Level of Service (LOS) over the following 20 years. The project was

programmed by GDOT in 1999 and was also added to the Floyd/Rome 2006-2008 Transportation

Improvement Plan (TIP) as project S-92-25.

Currently, the proposed project is listed in the Floyd/Rome 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan

(LRTP) as a short-term priority project scheduled to complete Preliminary Engineering (PE)

between 2016 and 2022. The proposed project is also listed as a mid-term priority project

scheduled to complete right-of-way (ROW) acquisition and construction (CST) between 2023 and

2029.

Existing conditions: This section of SR 101 is currently a 2 lane roadway.

Dee Corson – GDOT (Traffic Ops)

GENERAL TOPICS Kevin Bailey opened the meeting and introduced himself as the GDOT PM on the project and

explained the purpose of an Initial Concept Team Meeting. Everyone then introduced themselves. Kevin handed it over to Angela Snyder to conduct the meeting. Angela gave a brief overview of the five projects in the corridor and outlined what the consultants

have been scoped for: concept, environmental studies, public involvement, conceptual survey, conceptual pavement analysis, traffic studies, and 20% preliminary plans, as well as a traffic study for a project further south of the corridor. She explained that we were given a very aggressive schedule to complete in 13 months, but that we are likely to need an extension of three months due to the review times needed by the Department due to the magnitude of the project. She explained that the purpose of this project is to address safety and congestion issues along the corridor.

Kerrie Boyette explained that a major concern for us is the South and Southeast Rome Bypass which ties into two of the SR 101 widening projects. Kerrie asked the GDOT PM, Cynthia Burney, to share information to the group about the project schedules.

Cynthia said that the South Rome Bypass is on schedule to be funded for construction in fiscal year 2017. The TIP is still undergoing budgeting review and it is undetermined at this time if this project will be funded, but she believes that it is on schedule to receive funding. The South East Rome Bypass is scheduled to receive funding in fiscal year 2018.

Kerrie asked Cynthia if she could provide the consultant’s plans for the South East Rome Bypass to the Project Team in order to incorporate the proposed design features into the SR 101 concept layouts.

Nithin Gomez then gave an update on the traffic projections. He said they have completed all of the counts along the project starting at SR 6 and extending through the interchange at US 411. They have assembled all the counts and have provided that information to Abby Ebodaghe at GDOT along with the methodology for projections and growth rate. Once this information is approved by Abby, they will begin the traffic projections and diagrams.

Kerrie stated that we have received some of the accident information along the corridor and it is higher than the statewide average. The local police and emergency services confirmed at the stakeholder meeting last week that safety is a major concern along the corridor and that many accidents are occurring. They said there is at least one fatality every year.

o Kerrie was then asked if all of the accidents were occurring at a consistent location or if they were in different places along the corridor.

o Angela answered that the accidents were occurring in various places along the corridor based on the data that we have received and includes many types such as rear-ends, single car, embankment and guardrail face. Emergency services confirmed the data stating that most of the accidents were due to speed.

o Angela then explained that a spot speed study had been conducted in March 2013 and it verified that people are driving faster than the posted speed throughout the corridor.

o Kelly said that on Task Order 5 the side road named Saddle Mountain could be a major accident area due to the skew angle and steep grades. She asked if the designers had considered how to address that area.

o Scott Shelton answered that this area will be closely investigated during the concept development phase of the project. He stated that while conducting the site visit, his car bottomed out while turning down that side road. He said they may have to do a design exception at that location, but that it will all depend on the typical section chosen.

Kerrie went over the potential roundabout or traffic signal locations on the corridor including the intersections of: Wax Road, South/Southeast Rome Bypass, and Saddle Trail Road.

Kerrie asked the District for any existing maintenance issues that they are aware of such as drainage or pavement issues. The district said that there were no known issues that they were aware of at this time.

Joe Macrina asked Kerrie to go the methodology used in determining the base and design years (2021 and 2014, respectively) for the traffic projections.

o Kerrie explained that the base year of 2021 was selected based on R/W acquisition to begin in 2016 which would last two years, then two and half years to complete the construction.

o Angela explained that Abby agreed with the methodology for selection 2021 since it is considered a Long Range project.

Kelly Cory then asked if there was any discussion or basis involved in selecting the growth factor and using a constant factor.

o Nithin explained that they considered different models to determine the growth factor including the fact that Rome has a 2040 model.

o Nithin stated that this information was presented to Abby during the methodology discussion held on April 29th, 2013 and she provided direction regarding the model that should be used. Abby explained that the existing growth rate should not be used since there has been a decline in traffic volumes over the last several years.

Angela then provided an update regarding the recent public involvement meetings that have been held and those planned for the future. A stakeholder meeting with Floyd County School System was held in the morning on May 13, 2013 and another meeting with Rome and Floyd County Emergency Services was held that same afternoon. A Local Government Meeting is currently scheduled with the City of Rome and Floyd County Elected Officials on July 25, 2013. A PIOH is tentatively scheduled for August 2013.

o She said that in a meeting with the emergency services, she asked them how they would feel about lowering the speed limit along the corridor. The City of Rome was interested in reducing the speed within the city limits but the County was not interested in reducing the speed outside of the city due to the high number of trucks and lack of ability to enforce a lower speed.

SR 101 Initial Concept Team Meeting Minutes May 21, 2013 Page 4 of 8

o She then stated that during the stakeholder meeting with Floyd County Schools, there was concern regarding the Rome Bypass in that they have not been able to reach an agreement with GDOT for the right of way acquisition for Midway School.

o Bruce Savage with District 6 Right of Way responded that the school is an issue because they are closing their second access point by replacing Preacher Smith Road with the Southeast Rome Bypass. They will be re-routing parents through a neighborhood on a roadway that they believe is sub-standard. The business across the street from the school is also displeased due to the loss of their driveways since the Rome Bypass will be limited access.

Michael Haithcock advised the Project Team of potential issues related to right of way to be anticipated during the PIOH. For the Southeast Rome Bypass, a news article was released in 2008 that GDOT was going to start buying right of way. Those plans required several total takes. Then funding for the project was pulled and the I-Bat issues came up. Those property owners were ready to move and are still waiting seven years later. He said due to this, there may be negative publicity since these projects have taken so long. He suggested that we use caution with giving a time frame for when right of way will be acquired when talking to the public.

Cynthia then provided an update regarding Letting of the Bypass projects. She said that until the locals can help fund construction, there is not much that can be done. She said currently the South Rome Bypass is scheduled to receive funding in 2017 and the Southeast Rome Bypass is scheduled for 2018 based on the TIP.

Bruce explained that the cost to cure for Midway School has been difficult on the Bypass projects because the Bypass is limited access which prohibits driveway access. The school’s biggest concern is the need to separate the parent and bus traffic. Some of the parcels, including the school, may be condemnations.

o He stated that they are currently on hold until spring of 2014 due to the I-Bat. o For the South Rome Bypass they have purchased 170 out of 175 parcels. o For the Southeast Rome Bypass, there are over 100 parcels and right of way acquisition has

not yet begun. Kerrie went over the SUE scope and provided information regarding known facilities along the

corridor. She stated that a SUE Kick off meeting was conducted at GDOT on May 15, 2013 to discuss the deliverables and schedule related to the Quality Level D SUE Submittal. She indicated that the only facilities that were not yet confirmed along the corridor were belonging to AT&T.

o Jimmy Amos with AT&T stated that a field visit would be required to confirm the facilities along the corridor, but that he is aware that SR 101 between Rome and Rockmart is a major artery for their network. He confirmed that it is likely that they have a duct bank along the corridor.

o Joe asked if we would be making any vertical cuts on the projects that could impact the duct bank.

o Angela responded that there were several vertical curves of concern related to sight distance that would most likely require cuts.

o Kerrie added that on Task Order 2, the existing profile mostly meets a speed design of 45 mph with some curves as low as 40 mph even though the roadway is posted 55 mph.

Angela then provided an update related to the environmental special studies on the project. She said that there are about 20 potentially eligible historic properties on the corridor, which are mostly set back off the road. HNTB is currently working on the report that will detail the boundaries of the historic properties.

o Joe then asked for the existing Right of Way width along the corridor. o Angela responded that in most places it is approximately 100 feet but that varies in some

areas. o Joe commented that most likely this project will require us to acquire right of way.

Dave Pearce then provided an update related to archeology. A previous report for the Bypass project has been pulled for initial environmental documentation. It is only a background materials check, and if the project is to proceed with plans and an environmental document, a field study will be required for SR 101.

Casey Glen then updated the group on the ecology portion of the scope. He said that with the help of the Environmental Protection Division (EPD), the Team has identified waters along the corridor and determined their classifications.

o The area is within a trout watershed meaning that there will be a 50 foot buffer required for the streams.

o They identified about thirty buffered resources. Some of them will require a 404 permit from the Corps of Engineers. Under current EPD guidance, streams themselves cannot be impacted, but the buffer can be, with an approved buffer variance. However, changes will be made to the requirements of buffer variances possibly as early as July 2013. He is unsure of what those changes might look like.

o The streams are running both parallel and perpendicular to the roadway. The parallel streams are the ones that pose a problem. The stream that is most concerning is one that is near the intersection of SR 101 and Wax Road where the stream is running along the east side of SR 101 for a significant distance. The stream then crosses SR 101 and runs parallel to Wax Road before crossing under it through a multiple barrel CMP.

o Joe then asked what not impacting the stream meant: not being allowed to or having to fill out more forms to do it.

o Casey said we will not be allowed to touch the actual stream at all. Casey then provided an update regarding endangered species along the corridor. He stated that the

only one that is possibly an issue is the Indiana Bat. o Angela said that after conversations with GDOT, it was determined to not conduct the I-

Bat study at this point in the process. Mary Best then provided an update for the Need and Purpose and Logical Termini portion of the

project. She said that safety and congestion are the need and purpose of this project. The need and purpose statement will form the basis of the NEPA document. The logical termini will be determined based on the traffic studies.

o Karyn Matthews asked if the interchange project would address operational improvements or the need to add additional capacity.

o Scott answered that the traffic study will answer that question once the study has begun.

SR 101 Initial Concept Team Meeting Minutes May 21, 2013 Page 6 of 8

o Mary said that based on conversations with OES, one Need and Purpose document will be provided.

Kerrie then talked about the speed limit along the corridor and how it changes from 55 mph at the southern portion to 50 mph then to 45 mph just before the interchange. She then opened up the floor for discussion about the proposed typical section. She pointed out that the Southeast Rome Bypass project includes one mile of widening on SR 101 to a four-lane section with a 20 foot raised median, curb and gutter, bike lanes, and sidewalk. She asked Cynthia to confirm that these improvements are being proposed with the bypass project.

o Cynthia agreed to confirm the improvements needed along SR 101. The Right of Way plans seemed to show that the one mile section of SR 101 is about 0.5 mile on each side of the proposed bypass.

o Joe commented that the typical section for the SR 101 improvements proposed as part of the Bypass project means a design speed of 45 mph.

Kelly asked for clarification on including the Bypass project as being built when determining the logical termini for this project.

o Angela said that based on direction from GDOT, we are to design and develop the concept report for the SR 101 widening project assuming that both Bypass projects are built.

Michael stated that Rome has a good network of multi-use trails. He would really like it if this project had a multi-use trail to connect to the ones already in existence.

o Noah Simon commented that multi-use trails are controversial and tend to have a negative connotation within the County. He asked that the County and City be able to provide input during the Local Government Meeting scheduled for July 25, 2013 regarding this discussion.

o Bruce said that he thinks both Bypass projects will be constructed before the SR 101 widening project, and that during the PIOH, we could get a lot of information from the public about what they would like to see in a typical section.

o Joe said that in order to have a multi-use trail we would have to lower the speed limit to 45 mph and include curb and gutter.

o Kelly suggested that the section north of the Bypass could be lowered to a speed limit of 45 mph and then south of the Bypass could remain at 55 mph. Joe agreed by stating that the ADTs seem to support that suggestion.

Michael then stated that Dwayne Comer (District 6 Engineer) has some innovative ideas regarding the interchange and explained that he had shared those ideas with Gresham Smith previously.

o Scott said they have his sketch and will need to evaluate impacts. They have another idea sketched and will put together a cost to determine a cost/benefit ratio during the concept development.

Nithin responded to Joe saying that the ADTs are the current year ADTs and believes that, based on their preliminary projections, most of the corridor will require a four-lane section in the design year.

o Kelly suggested that the Team determine a logical location to transition the typical section down from a four-lane section.

o Nithin responded that based on their current projections, Wax Road will likely be the point for a drop in traffic.

o Kelly stated that since Wax Road is a signalized intersection, it would be a logical transition from a four-lane to a three-lane section.

Karyn said if we lowered the speed to 45 mph and could keep a bike lane, maybe it could connect to the multi-use paths that already exist. She explained that the Silver Comet trail is located in Rockmart which is about 10 miles away from the project, so it may not be unrealistic to connect the trail to Rome.

Angela stated that since the improvements to SR 101 due to the Bypass project would have recently been completed, it does not make sense to reconstruct that one mile section of the road; therefore, the typical section for at least a portion of SR 101, would be a 20 foot median with curb and gutter, bike lanes, and sidewalk adjacent to the bypass.

o Joe said that based on GDOT regulations, from capacity standpoint, we could propose a five-lane section north of the Bypass and transition to a three-lane section south leaving the median at the Bypass.

Angela asked if there was any opposition to a five-lane section or to changing the speed limit to 45 mph.

o Noah suggested that the July 25th meeting would probably be the best place to have the discussion about changing the speed limit.

o Kelly said that if emergency services said they could not enforce the lower speed limit, then maybe adding the curb and gutter would help give a safer place for them to run radar.

o Kerrie confirmed that Floyd County does not currently run radar because there is not an adequate shoulder to pull off the road.

Melanie Hale then asked if we had considered creating curvature and traffic calming measures to the design to force drivers to go slower on the road.

o Karyn said that those measures are controversial at GDOT. o It was then stated that the concern is if we lower the speed limit and provide a place to

enforce, people will start to get more and more tickets. Then, they will complain and request a spot speed study which will show that drivers are using higher speeds. This could cause them to raise the speed limit of the road that was designed at a lower speed.

Kerrie then added that during the stakeholder meetings, the Team learned that SR 101 is used as the main route from Rome to the Atlanta airport. Knowing this, the corridor could be viewed by the public as a highway with higher speeds.

o Angela then asked if Cynthia could provide the concept report for the Bypass project to determine the reason for assuming a speed design of 45 mph along SR 101.

o Cynthia said she was unsure of what went into that decision but that she would provide this information to the Team.

Melanie asked if the design team was hoping to include sidewalks on the project. o Angela replied there are not currently many pedestrians walking out there today, but that

it is probably because they do not feel safe walking out there today. Joe then asked if this project is something that the District wants.

o Noah said that they know they want improvements made to SR 101, but were not interested in sidewalks or bike lanes.

o Greg Hood acknowledged that the project was favorable to the District. o Joe said it was one of the top priority projects for the region on the TIA list.

Kevin then asked if anyone had any further questions and thanked everyone for coming. The meeting adjourned at 11:20.

SR 101 Stakeholder Interview Floyd County/City of Rome Emergency Management May 13, 2013 Attendees: Scotty Hancock, Floyd County Debbie Burnett, Rome Police Elaine Snow, Rome Police Robby Hill, Floyd County Michael Patterson, Floyd County Bud Owens, Floyd County Kevin Bailey, GDOT Angela Snyder, Project Team Kerrie Boyette, Project Team Leah Vaughan, Project Team Marissa Martin, Project Team Brendetta Walker, Project Team Kevin Bailey of GDOT opened the meeting by thanking everyone for their participation and asking each

person to introduce him/herself. Following introductions, Angela Snyder briefly reviewed the project,

indicating that the corridor improvements would include 5 separate projects. She further described

the project as being considered as long range. She noted that GDOT is currently in the concept

development phase.

Leah Vaughan asked participants to identify areas where issues with the transportation facility were present. The following responses were given:

Fatalities have occurred at Spur 101 and Pleasant Valley Road. This is a low visibility site with a skewed intersection.

Driver behavior is an issue. People drive like they are on the interstate. There is also an issue with people not paying attention to left turn lanes.

The intersection of SR 101 and Saddle Mountain Road is at the crest of a hill, making it a dangerous intersection.

From SR 101 the turning movement on to US 411 or Lombardy Way results in lots of near miss crashes.

There are issues with people waiting to turn left at the bottom of a hill at Saddle Trail – with vehicles behind them speeding down the hill, trying to beat the light.

A meeting participant asked if the whole corridor would be four-laned. Angela responded that the project is in the concept development phase and that the department is seeking to identify the appropriate improvement.

Angela asked participants what they thought about lowering the speed limit on the corridor. The following responses were given:

In the City of Rome, most accidents occur between Saddle Mountain Road and Lombardy Way. The grade is steep here and lowering the speed limit might be acceptable in this section.

County participants indicated that lowering the speed limit may be problematic, due to large trucks needing to gather speed to crest the next hill. Concern was also voiced that a reduced speed limit may make it increasingly difficult to access SR 101 from side streets, particularly Pleasant Valley Road. It may also be difficult to enforce.

When asked what the causes of the accidents were, the following responses were given:

Steep grades

Attempting to beat lights

Access to SR 101 from side streets

Sight distance issues

Speed Other comments received included:

It would be nice to have a ramp on to US 27 Southbound, particularly for ambulance response.

Emergency responders asked about access during construction. Agency coordination will be key during construction.

Schools are major contributors to traffic and congestion. Traffic at Midway School is heavy and it is difficult to patrol because there is no space on the shoulders for the patrolmen to park to run radar and pull people over. Also there is a major sight distance issue at Midway School Road on SR 101.

The corridor is a major route for truck transport from industry in Rockmart to northern areas.

Floyd Medical Center is the regional trauma center for 8 counties in the region. SR 101 is a route used by ambulance to access the hospital, particularly for emergency responses from Paulding, Polk and southern Floyd Counties.

The corridor is used to access US 278 and Atlanta as an alternative to I-75.

Traffic is much heavier than it was 4 years ago.

Enforcement of speed is an issue as there is not a good place to turn around or write tickets due to the requirement of needing to have at least 500’ of visibility to drivers.

Most intersections have steep downhill grades, making it difficult for tractor trailers.

Most accidents at Wax Road are rear end collisions, with people coming down the hill and colliding with vehicles attempting to turn left.

Single car accidents generally occur more often on the northbound route. Speed and weather conditions make it treacherous (i.e. snow, rain).

Several participants indicated that they encourage their family members to use alternative routes (i.e. Preacher Smith Road).

Reducing the speed would increase congestion.

Head on collisions or other wrecks are due to people passing with inadequate sight distance.

When asked if there were short term improvements that should be considered, meeting participants discussed the possibility of warning flashing lights at dangerous intersections. They also noted that full signalization of the intersections may not be the answer, though they suggested it did help at Wax Road. When asked about freight issues, meeting participants described a very active train track. They further noted that trains often sit on the tracks while waiting for another train to pass. This results in several roads being locked in, such as Maple and Donohoo Roads. There being no additional comments, the meeting was adjourned.

SR 101 Stakeholder Interview Floyd County School Board May 13, 2013 Attendees: Derry Richardson, Floyd County Schools Guy Hall, Floyd County Schools Sam Sprewell, Floyd County Schools Tim Hensley, Floyd County Schools Kevin Bailey, Georgia Department of Transportation Angela Snyder, Wolverton & Associates Kerrie Boyette, Wolverton & Associates Leah Vaughan, Sycamore Consulting Marissa Martin, Gresham Smith Partners Leah Vaughan opened the meeting by thanking everyone for their time and asked everyone to introduce

themselves. Following introductions, Angela Snyder briefly reviewed the project, indicating that the

corridor improvements would include 5 separate projects.

A representative from the School Board asked if the projects would be built in the order listed on the

location map. Angela responded not necessarily and further described the project as being considered

as long range. She noted that GDOT is currently in the concept development phase.

A school system employee noted that Midway School, which is located along SR 101, currently has less

than 300 students and is K-3.

When asked about transportation issues and concerns to the School System the following responses

were given:

How much property will be absorbed from Midway School? Our concern is buses entering and

exiting and having to cross multiple lanes of traffic. Coming out of Midway Road and having

decent sight distance is a great concern. A new bus lane will need to be constructed, and we are

land locked.

The South Rome By-Pass will acquire approximately 3.4 acres from the school. You need to get

the plans for the South Rome By-Pass to see how these two projects would affect the school.

The school system carefully selects bus stop locations, as safety is a major concern. All bus stops

along SR 101 would need to be reevaluated in conjunction with the improvements to the

corridor.

The project in yellow (PI 0000406) is the worst part of the corridor. Is there a way to go ahead

and fix that segment? The commenter who suggested this lives along this segment of SR 101.

Hilly nature of the corridor results in limited sight distance and the need for trucks to go fast in

order to get back up the next hill. This in turn makes it difficult for vehicles to enter the SR 101

corridor from side streets. Pleasant Valley Road is a prime example of this issue.

The corridor is a major thoroughfare to Rome and speed is an issue.

There is a paper mill in the western part of the county. If the bypass is completed, the trucks

coming from the mill will drive right past the school.

While in negotiations with the State for right of way associated with the South Rome Bypass, the

School System conducted a Risk Hazard Study. The results of this study indicate that the school

site will be unsafe once the South Rome Bypass is constructed.

SR 101 is the dividing line between school zones. Buses drop kids off at Midway School and then

cross over SR 101 to go to other schools.

Specific intersections that need attention are SR 101 with the following side streets:

Preacher Smith Road

Donahoo Road

Old Rockmart Road

Wax Road

Treemont Drive

Pleasant Hope Road

Buses are interspersed with cars during school rush hours, beginning at 7:00 am. When asked if

the staff was aware of any accidents along SR 101 involving buses, the answer was no.

The corridor is not an isolated rural area any more. It is seen as a viable alternative to I-75 when

trying to access the airport. When asked why there were so many accidents, staff responded

that speed, commuters from Polk attempting to get to Rome for work, pass through truckers

especially to airport, and trucks.

School system staff suggested that the Public Information Open House could be held at the

school.

There being no additional comments the meeting was adjourned.
