Department of Transportation 2020-2021 Annual Report

2020-21 Highlights (continued)

efforts provided more space for patrons of local restaurants and shops within the right of way while COVID-19 precautions limited business capacity and encouraged social distancing. Expanding Broadband Access In November 2020, GDOT received a $234,000 Federal Transit Agency Helping Obtain Prosperity for Everyone (HOPE) grant. It will be used to create a plan to use the City’s transportation infrastructure to provide broadband internet to areas of high poverty. The project, a partnership with IT, will assess the needs of local residents through public outreach. It will consider how the City’s transportation fiber optic network and things like bus shelters or street lights can provide a foundation to expandWiFi access to neighborhoods that need it most. Evolving Downtown This year, GDOT has supported new growth and redevelopment downtown by opening the new Eugene Street Parking Deck and advancing streetscape plans. The 950-space deck is the first the City has built in more than 30 years. It also supports the $140 million Project Slugger mixed-use building S P E N C E R D L A K E

project and other planned developments in the Lo-Fi neighborhood of downtown. GDOT staff have finalized plans for revamping the streetscape on Bellemeade and Eugene streets around the First National Bank Field and on Davie Street. Construction of these improvements will begin this fall. Syncing with the City Comprehensive Plan GDOT is working to synchronize its transportation plans and projects with GSO2040, the City’s new comprehensive plan. GDOT is refining its approach to the capital improvements program and plans for future transportation bond projects, holistic transportation investments and interdepartmental collaboration. This approach aligns with a wide range of GSO2040 objectives, including quality of life; safe, comfortable, and convenient transportation options; social equity; economic resilience; and strategic investment in historically underrepresented areas. GDOT recognizes the importance of shaping transportation services and projects as opportunities to improve mobility choices and access for all ages and abilities.
