Cherokee County interns highlight Safe Streets progress and SR‑92 funding
Summary
Intern presentation summarized Safe Streets and Roads for All adoption, identified 17 priority corridors and 15 intersections, and noted implementation funding for SR‑92 corridors (Trickham Road and Bells Ferry) and ongoing coordination with GDOT and municipalities.
Community development intern Laney Klein briefed commissioners on Cherokee County's Safe Streets and Roads for All work and the county's 2022 Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). Klein said the initiative identified 17 corridors and 15 intersections prioritized to reduce KSI (killed or seriously injured) crashes and showed a heat map of crash density used to rank project urgency.
Klein said implementation funding had recently been secured for treatments on State Route 92 at Trickham Road and Bells Ferry, enabling near-term work such as striping, lighting and signage. She emphasized intergovernmental collaboration—cities and GDOT contributed to the plan—and said the county is focused on tying Safe Streets project progress into the 2027 CTP update so that work and funding priorities align.
Commissioners asked about specific corridors and staffing; Klein and Sheriff’s traffic lieutenant (referenced) described field conditions, and staff noted the county will continue coordinating with municipalities and GDOT on implementation and reporting progress back to the board.
