WYNNTON ROAD STREETSCAPE

The project aims to improve safety for pedestrians and drivers, provide an improved safe route to Wynnton Elementary School, and support community desires for the corridor. Pedestrian facilities are planned along both sides of Wynnton Road from Peacock Avenue to Hamilton Avenue, including the area adjacent to the Wynnton Elementary School. The plan includes a typical six-foot-wide landscape strip adjacent to the curb, and a six-foot-wide sidewalk beyond it within existing right-of-way.

The project also includes the installation of street trees and street lights, approved by the Georgia DOT, and ADA-accessible facilities throughout the corridor along with high visibility crosswalks to improve ease of use for pedestrians. The plan also anticipates replacing an existing painted median between Cedar Avenue and Forest Avenue with a planted median and installing small medians in existing painted areas at Wildwood Avenue and west of Hamilton Avenue.

In summary, TSW and MidTown Columbus have partnered to revitalize the Wynnton Road corridor and surrounding neighborhoods as part of their 2005 Master Plan. The $1.2 million streetscape project improves pedestrian, vehicular, and transit facilities, improves safety for pedestrians and drivers, provides an improved safe route to Wynnton Elementary School and supports community desires for the corridor.
