Valdosta agrees to temporary conveyance of slivers of city-owned land to GDOT for two TIA road projects
Summary
Council approved conveying small parcels (temporary right-of-way) to GDOT to support Country Club Drive and Barack Obama Boulevard projects under the TIA program; staff said parcels will be converted to right-of-way for certification and returned post-construction with no net loss to the city.
City staff asked council to approve temporary conveyance of small slivers of city-owned property to the Georgia Department of Transportation to facilitate right-of-way certification for two TIA roadway projects on Country Club Drive and Barack Obama Boulevard. Ben O'Dowd explained the transfers are administrative reclassifications so GDOT can proceed with construction; he said the city will not experience a net loss of property once parcels are recertified as right-of-way after construction.
Council moved, seconded and approved the conveyances by show of hands. O'Dowd noted the packet included maps depicting four parcels and explained the donations are limited to right-of-way needs for project progression.
