Dear Georgia DOT:
Enclosed you will find an application for 2010 GATEway funds that would allow the City of Augusta to
address the very unsightly intersection of two heavy arterial State highways in the geographic center of
our City. The arterials are Gordon Highway (US 78 and 278 and GA 10} and Deans Bridge Road (US 1
and GA 4). In addition to the extreme amount of pavement and lack of virtually any aesthetic
improvements at this intersection, the surrounding lands are occupied by a].l million syuare foot
abandoned mall and other vacant and underutilized properties.
Augusta has just completed a very aggressive plan — The Augusta Sustainable Development Agenda —
which will transform our City over the next 25 years, and the centerpiece of that plan in the area
surrounding the intersection that we propose to improve with GATEway funds. Approval of this grant
application would be a great jump start to the implementation of this multi-million dollar plan.
Augusta received a 2009 GATEway grant which addressed unsightly conditions in front of our
Wastewater Treatment Plan and airport. A permit has been issued by the Access Management Engineer
for the project and construction will begin this week (October 25-29, 20 ] 0). The project will probably be
completed by December 1, but it will surely be completed before January 31, 2011. It is our
understanding that this progress on the 2009 grant makes us eligible for the 2010 funds.
We trust that you will find this application complete and appropriate for full funding.
Sincerely,
C:.�C��
Deke Copenhaver
Mayor

PROJECT DESCRIPTICJN
.
• PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Augusta is applying for 2010 Gateway funds to improve the intersection of Deans Bridge Road (U.S. 1 and GA
4) and Gordon Highway (U.S. 78 and 278 an GA 10), one of the busiest intersections in the Augusta
metropolitan area with 71,288 daily vehicles entering the intersection in 2009. Gordon Highway is an important
east-west artery locally as it connects downtown Augusta and Fort Gordon. It was very important to the State
and Nation prior to the construction of Interstate 20 as it was one of the principal east/west routes across
Georgia and other Southeastern states. Deans Bridge Road is a north/south route which connects Augusta to the
Fall Line Freeway and it also had much national prominence prior to the completion of the interstate highway
system.
Figure 1 is an aerial photograph of the intersection and it illustrates the massive amount of pavement includes
the 11 lanes on Gordon Highway (including turn lanes) and 7 lanes on Deans Bridge Road (also including turn
lanes). What the photo does not show is the extent of the blight and deterioration of the commercial areas
surrounding the intersection. This is best exemplified by the abandoned 1.1 million square foot Regency Mall
to the southwest of the intersection, but there are many other abandoned buildings and marginal businesses in
the area. Figure 2-4 are aerial photographs of some selected properties in the area. This was once a very
prosperous commercial area but when the mall closed it had a ripple effect upon the other businesses at the
intersection and on both corridors. Today the area is in desperate in need of improvement, and it is recognized
as a priority area in Augusta's "Sustainable Development Agenda." The Augusta Sustainable Development
Agenda is a recent refinement of Augusta's 2008 Comprehensive Plan. It assigns great significance to
improvement of this azea, which will include the construction of a lake upstream from the intersection and the
infusion of much public and private capital to transform this once prominent commercial center to a jobs center
linked to the Medical Complex. This plan sets forth a 20 year, multi-million dollar strategy that could be given
an important boost by a beautification project at the intersection.
The project that is the subject of this application would involve landscaping of five critical areas between the
roadway and the right-of-way line using GATEway funds, extension of water ta these locations by the City to
support irrigation, and landscaping of three "islands" or median areas by a private non-profit group knawn as"
Gordon Highway Development Committee". Figure 5-7 illustrates the location of the improvements described
above, and the concept plans enclosed with this application illustrats what we would like to do at each of the
eight locations.
GATEway funds would be used to purchase and install plant materials, turf, soil amendment, mulching, and
irrigation within each of the eight project areas. T'he landscape design will be done with maintenance in mind
and the City is fully committed to maintaining the area. We estimate the annual cost of the maintenance to be
$9,838.00. Plants will be carefully selected based upon their maintenance issues and native plants will be used
where possible. No invasive species will be used. If the grant is approved we will prepare a more detailed plan
for the project area and seek the proper encroachment permits. We will bid the project after all permits are in
hand and complete it in substantially less than 30 znonths. The City will conform to all State and Federal rules
regarding landscaping and irrigation on the right-of-way including TOPPs-6755-9 Landscaping on DOT ri h� t of
Wav, AA.SHTO, MUTCD, and other appropriate design standards.
Augusta received a 2009 GATEway grant which addressed unsightly conditions in front of our Wastewater
Treatment Plant and Airport. A permit has been issued by the Access Management Engineer for the project and
construction will begin this week (October 25-19, 2010). The project will prohably be completed by December
1, but it will surely be completed before January 31, 2011. It is our understanding that this progress on the 2009
grant makes us eligible for the 2010 funds.

CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE DRAWING
Target Areas
Target Area I:
This area along the Deans 8ridge Road is highly traveled, and is the
geographically center point of the city. We are looking to soften the
landscape with some visual screening. This will provide some plantings to
enhance the entire intersection, and give some beautification to the
area. The focus is to give an appealing landscape along the parkway
and in to the "Garden City".
Target Area 2:
The Landscape enhancement along Target Area 2 will help control
the eye on the ROW while giving a soft clean view. We feel that the
intersection can be enhanced while controlling the view along the right of
way, away from the vacant adjacent properties
Target Area 3:
This is another corner of the intersection that generally is overrun
with weeds. The area is on the Northeast corner and has the potential to
help set the intersection off with a clean appeal.
Target Area 4:
This area is a narrower section which gives connectivity to the
project. This area will tie the intersection in to give a complete package
and unity to the site
Target Area 5:
Target area 5 gives the final corner to the intersection. It is a smaller
section but significanf to completing the Gateway enhancement. This
area offers another corridor for entry point into the intersection.
�_
a
Target Area 6:
This is an island which needs some upgrade and landscape
enhancements. All cost for improvements have been committed by a
private source- the Gordon Highway Development Committee.
Target Area 7:
This is another island in which the enhancements are being
sponsored by the Private Sector. The Gordon Highway Development
Committee wants to help give a complete overhaul to this Gateway
Corridor to the city.
Target Area 8:
A current island in which the city will continue to maintain and is
also being Landscaped by Private donations of the Gordon Highway
Development Committee.

landscape Proposal
As our concepts show turf, ground covers, small and medium size
vegetation. We are striving to inciude n tive plant materials in the planting
scheme to reflect the existing vegetation of our region. We are classed Hardiness
Zone 8, or state Zoning Class IV. Examples of the mass planting of native plants
are:
Liriope muscarii
Yucca filamentosa
Coreopsis lanceolata
Echinacea pupurea
Callicarpa americana
Hydrangea quercifolia
Cercis Canadensis
A cluster type of planting arrangement will be used to minimize the maintenance
and irrigation requirements of the plants. The layout will have plants with similar
water requirements grouped fogether.
There are 5(five) GATEway target areas located along the Intersection of Deans
Bridge Rd and Gordon Hwy. The Right of Way varies in width from 20' to 85' off
edge of pavement.
Estimated pricing is based on purchase, preparation, and installation.
*Note:
Any replacement plant materials will be sponsored by a parfnership with
the City Public Service Department, local nurseries "in kind" and The Gordon
Highway Development Committee.

To Whom It May Concern:
We are very appreciative for the 2009 GATEway Grant which allowed the City of Augusta to extend the
locally funded beautification of Doug Barnard Parkway in the area of our Wastewater Treatment Plan and
Regional Airport. Another area that is of local significance as a Gateway is the intersection of Gordon
Highway (GA 10, U.S. 78 and 278) and Deans Bridge Road (GA 4 ad U.S. 1). This is the area that we
hope you will consider funding in 2010.
The area is blighted due to the abandonment of one of the largest malls in Georgia and the.ripple effect
along the roadway commercial development in this area. We have just completed a very aggressive
planning process for all of Augusta and top priority has been assigned to the area surrounding this
intersection. The plan includes many initiatives for recreating this area, and a gateway grant combined
with some private sector funding would be a great way to jump-start some of those initiatives.
We do not believe that there is a more deserving location for the use of GATEway funds in Georgia and
we hope that you will select this application.
Sincerely,
Deke Copenhaver

LETTER OF SUPPORT
RE: Augusta's application for 2010 GATEway funds
To Whom It May Concern:
1 am the President of ShieldsDesign LLC, an urban planning and
design-consulting firm from Boston, Massachusetts. My firm recently
completed the Augusta Sustainable Development Agenda (ASDA), a
20-year plan for Augusta. The ASDA identified several "strategic
action corridors", the most important of which is the Priority
Development Corridor linking the former Regency Mall site and the
Medical College of Georgia. This is where public infrastructure
improvements can dramatically guide private investment to 'Realize
the Garden City'.
The proposed landscaping project at the intersection of Gordon
Highway and Deans Bridge Road would be a great way to initiate the
proposed transformation of this Priority Development Corridor from
the essentially dead area that it is today. I can't imagine a timelier
project for Augusta or a better use of State funds. I fully support the
City's application for GATEway funds.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am the Founder/Facilitator- of the South Augusta Business @ Breakfast, a 9-year old
organization devoted to the economic and social prosperity of the area south of the Gordon
Highway in Augusta, Georgia. I was recently informed about the possibility that the City may
receive funding for a beautification project at the intersection of Deans Bridge Road and Gordon
Highway. I can't imagine a more worthy use of your funds that can be used to provide a jump
start for a portion of the implementation of the Augusta Sustainable Development Agenda. This
agenda is part of our new long range plan which addresses this area as priority.
I have personally worked for years to restore the prosperity of this area and I hope that you will
consider not only the immediate effect of landscaping at this location, but the long term effect
that it could have as well.

who have expressed an interest in contracting with Augusta, by registering their business information with

County Commission, to take place no sooner than thirty days after the vendor list notification has taken
place. Augusta may rely upon the contact information that interested parties supplied the city when they
