On November 8, 2016, Fulton County voters, including residents of East Point, approved the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST), a referendum to fund transportation improvements within the participating cities.

The collection of the 0.75 percent (3/4 of a cent) sales tax began in April 2017 to fund the T-SPLOST transportation projects.  An estimate $34.9 million (Tier 1 & 2) over five years is expected to be raised for use in East Point for transportation improvements.

Tier 1 & 2 Funding Allocation:

• Maintenance and Safety – $22.9 Million
• Pedestrian, Bike, Streetscape & Landscape Projects – $8.3 Million
• Operations & Safety – $1.7 Million
• Program Management –$1,054,413
• Quick Response – $873,355

Project Currently in Right of Way Acquisition Phase.  Anticipated to let for construction in 2021.

For more information visit: http://www.dot.ga.gov/applications/geopi/Pages/Dashboard.aspx?ProjectId=0012638

The purpose of the Downtown East Point Multimodal Improvements project is to find and implement multi-modal connectivity features, enhance the pedestrian experience, and reduce vehicular speeds in downtown East Point, GA. The design features are proposed to meet these objectives: curb extensions, shifting the street left and right so driers can slow down and the pedestrian experience can be improved, and narrowing the Main Street by using curb extensions that narrow the distance for pedestrians to cross and access the MARTA station. The need for streetscaping, gateway features, placemaking, traffic calming, and multi-modal connectivity in the downtown East Point area was established in the City of East Point Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study. The Downtown East Point Multimodal Improvements project will seek to address the needs outlined in the LCI study that pertain to public rights-of-way in the project area.

To better enable safe multi-modal access within the downtown area while also maintaining traffic mobility along SR 14, a boulevard treatment is proposed to balance both needs within the Main Street/SR 14 NB corridor. Similarly, streetscaping and traffic calming are proposed along East Point Street/SR 14 SB for the same purpose. A multi-use trail connecting to the MARTA station, as well as enhanced pedestrian crossings between the MARTA station and the downtown area across Main Street/SR 14 NB, are proposed to better serve the safety and mobility needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit patrons.

The limits of this project are West Cleveland Avenue to the north, Washington Avenue to the south, SR 14/Main Street to the east, and East Point Street to the west (with the exception of part of Dorsey Avenue west of SR 14/East Point Street). Only minimal right-of-way impacts are anticipated such as easements and potential right-of-way miters at the existing intersections. The project team will be in coordination with other projects in the area to ensure that the projects complement one another in terms of efficiency and function.

Currently in Construction

This project is the sidewalk and landscape improvements in the city of East Point along both sides of CR1211/Semmes Street from Washington Avenue to Norman Berry Drive for a total of 0. 70 mile. The existing project area consists of an asphalt roadway surface that is worn and aged, concrete sidewalks that are cracked, uneven, and undermined in some areas by storm runoff due to deteriorated curb and gutter. The purpose of this project is to make the pedestrian and bicycle interaction with automobiles safer, and to improve the aesthetic value of the Semmes Street area. Additionally, the general appearance of the area will also be improved. The project proposes to resurface the existing roadway pavement, provide monolithic curb and gutter to facilitate drainage, widen the sidewalk on each side of the road, add bike lanes, and landscaping to improve the appearance of the right-of-way. Landscaping will consist of grassing strip and disturbed areas, and replacing trees if required.

The City of East Point adopted the International Property Maintenance Code in 2007. Via adoption of the code, a task force was created consisting of employees from the Police, Fire and Planning Departments.  Subsequently, it was recognized that the 2008 housing market crash created a growing number of vacant and abandoned properties.  Therefore, in 2010, the 50 Worst Properties Program was created as a housing initiative to address the issue.  The Task Force actively identified properties that were deemed as unfit for human habitation.  Over the course of three (3) years approximately 159-properties have been documented under the program.  Via court actions, the City has been given permission to secure (board and clean) some of the properties and demolish others.

The team was able to demolish eleven (11) properties under the FY 2016 Budget.  During the FY 2017 Budget, the team demolished an abandoned apartment complex formally known as the Terraces of East Point located between West Woodberry  and Langford Parkway (166).  In its FY 2018 Budget, the East Point City Council made possible the creation of a Department to focus on the removal of vacant, blighted unsafe residential structures.  The Department is staffed with three (3) full time employees who perform all activities pertaining to asbestos abatement, demolition, site stabilization, clean-up and maintenance of those properties identified under the program.

This program is a collaborative effort between the City Manager’s Office, Municipal Court, City Attorney’s Office, Finance and each of the City’s service delivery departments:  Planning & Community Development, Fire, Police, EP Power, Public Works-Buildings & Grounds, Water-Sewer and Solid Waste.
