    Decatur Proposes Streets To Be Paved in 2018

    Decatur Metro | December 18, 2017 | 1:00 pm

    Each year, the city gets funding from the Georgia Department of Transportation’s (GDOT) Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) program to pave a few local roads.

    This year, the city is proposing paving the following streets, according to a letter included in the city commission’s agenda this evening…

    • Westchester Drive – from Scott Boulevard to Harold Byrd Drive
    • Harold Byrd Drive – from Westchester to the dead end
    • Northern Ave – from West Ponce to Oakland Street
    • Avery Street – from Winnona Drive to Kirk Road
    • Fifth Avenue – from Oakview Road to Northern Street (city limits)

    The city selects streets after an evaluation of streets from engineering stuff, and taking complaints and inquiries received from citizens into consideration.
