Chattahoochee County Elementary School Awarded Infrastructure Grant
Congratulations to Chattahoochee County
Elementary School on being awarded the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure
Grant.
The total amount awarded to the project is $175,118.35. The proposed project
consists of adding the following:
1,700 linear feet
of
sidewalk along Broad Street, 12 ADA compliant handicap ramps, 4 resting benches (2 along Broad Street and 2 along Merrell Street),
an additional bicycle rack inside the Elementary School Campus, solid traffic striping at five different locations, curb and gutter along
Merrell Street, supplementary storm drain pipe, as well as two catch basins, and School Zone Flashing Speed Limit Signage and
Pedestrian Crossing Signage.
Additional construction activities for the project include:
 | Traffic Control during construction |
| 25 tons of Rip Rap |

The main purpose of
the above mentioned activities is to provide the necessary safeguards for
children, parents, teachers and other
community members to get active, and for elementary school children to walk and
cycle to school. In addition, we believe that this
project will also have a positive impact on the community and the environment
within the school’s vicinity. For
