<> Design Criteria and Constraints <>

Protect the integrity and livability of neighborhoods fronting and served by Forest Hill Road.
Recognize Forest Hill Road as one of Macon’s premiere scenic residential roadways, and protect that asset.
Provide for the safety of motorists, pedestrians and school children.
Provide safe and convenience access to adjacent businesses, churches, schools, and residential areas.
Provide unimpeded access by public safety vehicles.
Minimize on-going maintenance and operations costs by the City of Macon and Bibb County, to include traffic control and policing costs.
Use modern traffic-calming and neighborhood-sensitive design techniques to further the above.
Employ a design speed of 40mph.
Minimize the footprint of the roadway and construction zone to preserve the existing landscaping and tree cover, and to avoid the expense and disruption of relocating utility lines and poles.
Recognize that the current Statement of Need is outdated, and adopt a new one that realistically reflects current and future needs and traffic volumes.
Thoroughly study the effect of induced traffic volumes on Vineville/Forsyth, Ridge, and Park Street; delay construction if increased volume will require expansion of those roadways that is unacceptable or not planned in the near future. (DanF 1-21-08)
