Public Works briefs council on intersections, crossings and Whitlock takeover

Marietta City Council · August 12, 2026

Summary

Public Works Director Mark Rice updated councilors on the New Holt & Wylie intersection contract, a Chestnut Hill Road mid-block crossing (equipment ordered), a stormwater-pipe issue at Church and Sessions, GDOT's Whitlock Avenue resurfacing takeover and CSX activity at the Kennesaw Avenue crossing.

Public Works Director Mark Rice told the council several projects are moving forward: contract signatures are pending for the New Holt and Wylie intersection project, equipment for a Chestnut Hill Road mid-block crossing has been ordered, and a stormwater pipe issue at Church and Sessions requires design work and a pole relocation by Marietta Power. Rice said GDOT will begin Whitlock Avenue resurfacing as part of a takeover and that CSX indicated it would complete work on the Kennesaw Avenue crossing by Friday, though staff will monitor the schedule.

Rice encouraged residents with concerns to use the digital signs and the CSX phone number posted on site for direct contact; he said sidewalk adjustments are complete for the mid-block crossing and the contractor will install equipment once it is delivered.
