Currently the CID is working on adding a left turn lane from Oakley Industrial Boulevard into SC Johnson. This project will alleviate the congestion caused by trucks trying to turn left from the main roadway. Past projects include a bench and trashcan near a MARTA stop.

The rapid growth of warehousing and distribution centers in the City of Fairburn has resulted in an influx of workers who ride transit to work. When workers need to access their place of employment located on McClarin, Bohannon Road or Logistics Center Drive from the southbound MARTA bus stop, they must cross US 29. To access either the northbound or southbound MARTA bus stop requires traversing the CSX railroad tracks. If a train is blocking the tracks, pedestrians will oftentimes crawl through the idle train just to make it to work on time. There is on average 100 pedestrians per day crossing the railroad tracks near Bohannon Road to get to and from work.

The CID and the city of Fairburn have received a federal RAISE grant to design the pedestrian bridge. This project will facilitate pedestrian safety improvements along US 29 and near the intersection of US 29 and Harbor Lake. Project steps include preliminary engineering, project design and permitting, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), public outreach, and stakeholder coordination. The project will also plan and analyze Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) improvements. Design and planning will begin in early 2025.

The South Fulton CID is working on a group of projects that support an intelligent transportation system (ITS). The ITS will improve the freight corridor along SR 74 to McLarin Road through technology and roadway enhancements and relieve congestion around Fairburn’s CSX intermodal terminal.

The ITS system will alert trucks to the presence of a train and direct them to an alternate route to access businesses along the corridor. It will also direct trucks to the Fairburn Travel Center while waiting for a train to clear the tracks.

The basic ITS architecture and communications network for near-term and long-term deployments of the Freight ITS project for the area surrounding the CSX Fairburn Intermodal Center are detailed in this Concept of Operations document.

Key projects recently completed to facilitate safe detours were improving the intersection ramps connecting SR 74 and McLarin Road and SR 74 and US 29. These projects were designed by the CID and implemented by GDOT.
