SCDOT resurfacing planned; city schedules Georgia Avenue traffic‑calming public feedback session

City administrators told the North Augusta City Council on May 5 that the South Carolina Department of Transportation will begin resurfacing several roads in the city this week and that the council will host a public feedback session on the Georgia Avenue traffic‑calming study next Monday.

Jim Clifford, city administrator, reported a late‑breaking SCDOT resurfacing schedule that includes Brookside Avenue, East Spring Grove, Hamburg Road, Socrusty Drive, Mountside Drive, Yarby Drive and Whitlows Road. Clifford said SCDOT crews will start work this week and that Tom Zeesler will provide a more detailed study session update next week.

Mayor Britton S. Williams announced a public comment period for the Georgia Avenue traffic‑calming study: “Next Monday, the twelfth, at 06:00, we will be having public feedback for the Georgia Avenue traffic calming study,” he said. The mayor described the meeting as a five‑minute comment period format intended to gather public input before council votes on any measures.

Nut graf: Residents should expect localized SCDOT resurfacing activity this week and may attend the city’s May 12 feedback session to offer comments on proposed traffic‑calming measures for Georgia Avenue. The May 12 meeting will collect public comment to inform future council action.

Council members said they will post study materials on social media and encouraged residents to attend and provide concise feedback during the allotted time.

Ending: City staff said the resurfacing work is part of regularly scheduled SCDOT maintenance and that more detailed schedules and study materials will be provided in upcoming communications and at the next study session.
