meeting minutes
Hameed,
As a follow up to our recent meeting and discussion regarding additional bike/ped scope items to be considered
in the bridge replacement project,the appropriate channel to direct this request is in writing to the GDOT
Commissioner. If the City is able to participate in funding upgrades and additional scope items,a statement of
such would be appreciated. As discussed,this project is programmed by GDOT as a bridge replacement
project,and therefore has federal funding,which is constrained to be used for bridge replacement elements of
the project.The Georgia DOT appreciates working with the City of Augusta and all of the stakeholders to
replace the SR4 Savannah River bridge.
1 am sending this same guidance to the City of North Augusta.
