"The Medlock Road project is part of the Multimodal projects (#5092). It is also on the Bicycle/Pedestrian projects (#0308). Sidewalks along Scott Blvd are also on there (#0276) but they seem to be unaware of the sidewalk work that Decatur has already completed. There are many other projects on the list including several in Emory. The Clairmont/N Decatur Road intersection is on the intersection projects. I was told that the Scott / Medlock / N. Decatur Rd intersection would be part of the Medlock Road Multimodal project.
You are now able to fill out the online survey and list your preferences for projects. They said the online survey will only be up for a couple weeks..."Also note that project #0499 appears to highlight the development of easement space for bicycle and pedestrian use. It appears to connect Medlock Park to the area between the Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve and North DeKalb Mall.
These are in/near Medlock projects:
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN: these projects are in Medlock or very adjacent, or will add to a network that will make Medlock more ped/bike-connected to other areas of interest in the County
# 0276. Scott Blvd. From W Ponce de Leon Ave to Church St. Widen the sidewalk on the northwest side of Scott Boulevard in sections designated as Safe Routes to School by acquiring easements from adjacent property owners. Fill in gaps in a few areas where sidewalks don't exist.
