Midtown 13th Street Traffic Signals Project
(ATLDOT Proj. No. 3040)
Project Overview
Building off Midtown Alliance and the City of Atlanta’s effort to create safe intersection crossings for people walking, biking, taking transit, driving, and using shareable mobility devices, this project will install three (3) new traffic signals at the following unsignalized intersections:
- West Peachtree St and 13th Street
- Peachtree Street and 13th Street
- Juniper Street and 13th Street
The project scope includes new traffic signal equipment, mast arms and poles, ADA compliant ramps and crosswalks, as well as appropriate signage and lane markings for current and future bicycle facilities. Traffic signal warrant studies were conducted by Midtown Alliance and approved by the City of Atlanta in 2019.
Funding Sources
- City of Atlanta transportation impact fees
- Midtown Improvement District funds
Construction Updates
Midtown Alliance awarded the project construction contract in February 2023. Pre-construction activities (permitting, shop drawings, subcontracting, material purchasing, utility coordination and field layout) were conducted through spring and summer 2023. More recently the contractor began underground investigations and installation of new foundations for the associated traffic signal poles at Juniper St, Peachtree St and West Peachtree St.
Planned Work Activity - April 2024
Punch list items are being finalized following the ATLDOT inspection. Three new traffic signals are up and operating. The 30-day burn period began 3/29/2024.
