performance, transit service, and active transportation facilities. The plan’s recommendations were developed through a structured process that combined technical analysis, prior planning efforts, and extensive stakeholder and public engagement. Stakeholder and Community feedback consistently emphasized concerns about traffic congestion, barriers to connectivity, limited sidewalks and bicycle infrastructure, and safety at major corridors and intersections. Projects are organized into short, mid, and long-term tiers to guide implementation over time.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES 1. Improve Safety for All Modes Reduce crashes and improve safety for all roadway users, including drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users
2. Improve Mobility & Connectivity Enhance the efficiency, connectivity, and reliability of the transportation network through railroad crossings, I-20, sidewalk, and PTV improvements
3. Expand Multimodal & Transit Options
4. Support Economic Vitality & Freight Movement
5. Promote Equity, Accessibility, & Quality of Life
6. Advance Sustainability & System Preservation
Provide a balanced transportation system that supports transit, walking, and biking as viable alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle travel.
Ensure all residents, including underserved and transit-dependent populations, have safe, equitable access to transportation facilities that support their daily needs.
Ensure the transportation system supports economic development and efficient freight access.
Sustain infrastructure quality through environmentally responsible solutions and pavement condition evaluations every 2–3 years.
CHALLENGES 1. Railroad crossing & Grade Separation Issues
2. Roadway Capacity, Congestion & Safety
3. Connectivity between City Areas
4. Limited Public Transportation
The Norfolk Southern railroad track runs through Douglasville. Currently, the approach to on-grade crossings is challenged by existing grade crossing conditions
The railroad limits connectivity between north Douglasville and downtown, and gaps in sidewalks and bike paths reduce non-car mobility.
Some major corridors have needed widening, realignment, or reconstruction to manage increasing traffic and improve safety.
Some parts of Douglasville have fixed route bus service, but the coverage is more limited compared to bigger metro areas. Connect Douglas operates the City’s bus system.

CHAPTER 01
INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW The City of Douglasville Comprehensive Transportation Plan is a community-driven planning effort designed to shape the future of transportation and mobility across the city. As Douglasville continues to grow and evolve, the CTP establishes a roadmap for transportation investments over 5, 10, and 30-year time horizons, guided by community needs, priorities, and a shared vision for a safe, connected, and sustainable city. Established in 1875 and located approximately 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta, Douglasville is a vibrant, fast-growing city with a rich history, strong community character, and significant regional assets — including Sweetwater Creek State Park, West Pines Golf Club, Legacy Arena, and a thriving historic downtown. The city’s strategic position along Interstate 20, combined with its role as a regional employment and activity center, makes transportation planning essential to supporting continued growth, economic development, and quality of life for all residents. The CTP evaluates current transportation conditions, identifies future needs, and recommends multimodal improvements spanning driving, walking, biking, freight, and transit. Developed in coordination with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), the plan aligns with regional goals for safety, accessibility, sustainability, and equity, ensuring that Douglasville’s transportation network keeps pace with its growth and serves all members of the community.
History of Douglasville The City and Transportation Located at a natural rise in the topography, Douglasville was originally known as “Skint Chestnut”. The name derived from a large tree used by Native Americans as a landmark, which was stripped of its bark so as to be more conspicuous. The Town of Douglasville was established by the Georgia General Assembly on February 25, 1875. Before Interstate 20, the railroad was the only connection Douglas County
had to Atlanta. Although there is a rich history beyond what is highlighted in this document, our goal is to provide a snapshot of the City of Douglasville, GA, post “Skint Chestnut,” and focus more on the railroad and modern day Douglasville.

Like many towns in Georgia, Douglasville was originally established as a commerce stop due to the active railroad line running though the City. At this time, the railroad was a sign of prosperity and was also the social hub, where citizens could pick up mail and goods. The train industry provided employment opportunities and access to other jobs in places with tremendous growth such as Atlanta and Birmingham.
the railroad. The two sides of the railroad can continue to be different, as differences are the ingredients in which cities create their unique qualities. City Staff and Citizens have carefully thought about and planned for the Dallas Hwy Area, as well as for both the Fairburn Road Complete Street Conversion Project and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Action Plans. These thorough project plans create a future vision for Douglasville others will admire and want to emulate. Over time, the successful implementation of these projects in the City will foster thoughtful prosperity and growth for all and for future generations to come.
Railroads have historically fostered many economic and transportation benefits to a city. However, from an urban design perspective, railroad beds often create barriers to connectivity within a city, town or community. This physical barrier has often
transcended into our cultures and communities’ economies, creating divisions both physically, socially and economically. Modern Douglasville is a good example where the railroad is that line which bifurcates two areas of the City. Railroads are essential in moving large amounts of goods through our country at a very efficient rate. Our country needs railroads to continue to prosper; therefore we must form partnerships with the railroad, and we must invest in both sides of the City equally, so both have the same amenities and opportunities. In 2019, the City of Douglasville’s elected and appointed leaders and staff clearly saw the benefit in investing in both sides of

CHAPTER 03 EXISTING CONDITIONS & NEEDS ASSESSMENT The City of Douglasville Comprehensive Transportation Plan evaluates the current state of the City of Douglasville’s transportation system to identify key challenges, opportunities, and priorities for improvement. As a rapidly growing community with a population projected to reach approximately 42,074 residents, Douglasville faces increasing demands across all modes of travel. The analysis examines demographics, land use, travel behavior, transit, active transportation, road network conditions, crash patterns, freight movement, and pavement conditions, establishing the technical foundation for the project development and recommendations presented in subsequent chapters.
CHAPTER 03 | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
DOUGLASVILLE DEMOGRAPHICS Douglasville has experienced strong population growth since 2000, increasing from about 20,065 residents to 34,650 in 2020. This 72.7 percent increase ranks the city third among nearby communities for population growth during that period. Current projections estimate continued growth, with the population expected to reach about 42,074 residents. Douglasville has approximately 14,104 households (2020–2024 American Community Survey estimates), with most classified as family households. Household conditions vary across geography, with the broader downtown census tract generally showing a higher share of households with children compared to the citywide average, while the smaller downtown study area reflects a lower share. Overall, these patterns indicate a gradual shift in household composition, consistent with broader regional trends toward smaller household sizes and changing family structures. The city’s population reflects a relatively young community. The median age is 36.6 years, which is slightly younger than both the Georgia average of 37.4 and the national average of 38.9. The median age also varies by gender, with males averaging 33.9 years and females 37.7 years. Douglasville’s population is projected to surpass approximately 42,074 residents by 2025, reflecting steady growth from the 2020 Census population of 34,650 and recent 2024 estimates of about 40,500 residents. The city’s population is fairly balanced by gender, with a slight female majority at about 51–52 percent compared to 48–49 percent male, based on recent estimates.

EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
In 2023, approximately 18,400 Douglasville residents were employed, representing about 47% of the city’s population and marking an increase of around 2.3% from the prior year. The largest employment sectors were Health Care and Social Assistance, Retail Trade, and Transportation and Warehousing, indicating that both service and logistics industries play major roles in the local economy.
LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT
Based on the City of Douglasville 2023 Comprehensive Plan Update:
Transition to a More Balanced Community: Douglasville is evolving from a primarily residential community into a more balanced place with a broader mix of housing, commercial, employment, civic, and recreational uses.
Land Scarcity: There is increasing pressure on the city’s limited supply of developable land, creating a need for more strategic and efficient growth patterns.
Housing Preferences: Residents expressed support for high-quality, well-planned housing options, including multifamily and mixed housing types near major corridors and activity centers. Zoning Updates Needed: The city has supported a broader mix of land uses, but zoning updates may be needed to better support mixed-use development, housing diversity, and corridor growth.
Redevelopment Focus: The plan emphasizes revitalizing underused and underperforming commercial properties, particularly along key corridors such as Veterans Memorial Highway. Open Space Preservation: Identifying and protecting highpriority open spaces remains important for maintaining environmental quality, community character, and overall quality of life.

CITY OF DOUGLASVILLE COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Transit service in the City of Douglasville is provided by Connect Douglas, which operates five fixed routes: Route 10, Route 20, Route 30, Route 40, and the recently added Route 50. Douglasville residents also utilize Xpress commuter bus service to Atlanta, operated by the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA).
Figure 25. Connect Douglas
At this time, Connect Douglas is not actively pursuing new routes. While the system provides important mobility options within the community, transit coverage and frequency remain limited and are primarily focused along major corridors and activity centers. As a result, many areas of Douglasville continue to rely heavily on private automobiles, highlighting opportunities for future transit expansion and improved regional connectivity.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
BICYCLE Bicycle infrastructure in Douglasville is minimal and lacks connectivity and safety features, highlighting a significant need for expanded and safer cycling accommodations throughout the city. The City of Douglasville currently has only two designated bicycle facilities: one located on Selman Drive near Douglas County High School, and the other along Riverside Parkway between SR 92 and SR 6. While these facilities provide limited support for cyclists, the one on Riverside Parkway is situated on a high-speed, high-traffic corridor and lacks any form of protection, making it unsuitable and potentially hazardous for casual or inexperienced riders.

CHAPTER 03 | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
PEDESTRIANS
Douglasville has improved pedestrian infrastructure in some areas, including sidewalks, crosswalks, and multi-use trails in downtown and along corridors such as Fairburn Road, Campbellton Street, and Douglas Boulevard. However, major gaps remain, especially along suburban corridors and in areas farther from downtown. These gaps make it harder and less safe for people to walk to schools, parks, shopping areas, and transit stops. Corridors such as Chapel Hill Road, Prestley Mill Road, Chicago Avenue, and areas near Interstate 20 have incomplete pedestrian facilities that reduce connectivity and create barriers to walking. Closing these gaps will be important for improving safety, supporting multimodal travel, and creating a more walkable community.

EXISTING ROAD NETWORK
Douglasville benefits from a well-connected transportation network of arterial, collector, and local roads, anchored by five Interstate-20 interchanges. Major arterials link directly to the city’s collector and local road systems. Major collectors retain a rural, two-lane character but carry higher traffic volumes and speeds. While mixing travel modes directly on these roads is not advisable, their wide right-of-way presents an ideal opportunity for shared-use paths set at a comfortable distance from the roadway. Many of Douglasville’s roads retain a rural, scenic quality that naturally invites walking and biking at low speeds. Recognizing these “yield roads” as assets and connecting them across busier corridors will help Douglasville advance its active transportation goals.

CHAPTER 03 | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
TRANSPORTATION PATTERNS CRASH DISTRIBUTION MAP An analysis of crash data in the City of Douglasville indicates that traffic safety concerns are concentrated along several major corridors and key intersections throughout the city. High crash corridors include Douglas Boulevard, Campbellton Street, SR 5 (Bill Arp Road), US 78 (Veterans Memorial Highway), SR 92 (Fairburn Road), SR 6 (Thornton Road), Rose Avenue, Chicago Avenue, Hospital Drive, Stewart Parkway, and Riverside Parkway. These corridors serve as key transportation routes and carry higher traffic volumes, contributing to increased crash occurrences. In addition, crash hotspots were identified at the intersections of SR 5 (Bill Arp Road) and Douglas Boulevard, as well as Chapel Hill Road and Douglas Boulevard. These intersections experience elevated crash frequencies due to heavy traffic movements and complex turning patterns. The concentration of crashes along these corridors and intersections highlights the need for targeted safety improvements such as intersection upgrades, access management, signal optimization, and enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities to improve roadway safety and reduce crash risk throughout the city.

ANNUAL AVERAGE DAILY TRIP (AADT) MAP
The 2024 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) data was sourced from the Georgia Department of Transportation’s (GDOT) Traffic Analysis and Data Application (TADA). Traffic volumes in Douglasville show a strong east–west dominance, driven primarily by I-20 and US 78 (Veterans Memorial Highway), with secondary north–south movement on Fairburn Road, Chapel Hill Road, and Campbellton Street.
REGIONAL FACILITIES Interstate 20 carries the highest traffic volumes in Douglasville, with AADT reaching approximately 116,000 vehicles per day. It serves as the city’s primary regional commuter and freight corridor, connecting Douglasville to the greater Atlanta region.
PRINCIPAL ARTERIALS Among surface streets, Fairburn Road and US 78 (Veterans Memorial Highway) carry the highest traffic volumes. Fairburn Road reaches up to about 33,600 vehicles per day, while US 78 ranges from approximately 11,000 to 15,400 vehicles per day and serves as a major east–west corridor through commercial areas and downtown.
SECONDARY ARTERIALS AND COLLECTORS
Chapel Hill Road, Douglas Boulevard, and Campbellton Street serve as key connecting routes, with traffic volumes generally ranging from 6,000 to 18,000 vehicles per day. These corridors link residential areas to downtown, employment centers, and major destinations.
LOCAL STREETS
Most neighborhood streets carry less than 5,000 vehicles per day, with several segments experiencing fewer than 2,000 vehicles per day. These lower traffic volumes make local streets well-suited for traffic calming strategies, neighborhood greenways, and Safe Routes to School improvements that support safer and more comfortable local mobility.

CHAPTER 03 | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
GOODS MOVEMENT
Freight movement plays a vital role in supporting the economic vitality of the City of Douglasville. The existing freight network is anchored by major regional corridors — including Interstate 20, Veterans Memorial Highway (US 78), Thornton Road (SR 6), and SR 92 — which serve as primary connections for truck traffic moving through the city and the broader Atlanta region. These corridors support access to industrial areas, commercial centers, and regional distribution networks, with logistics-related land uses concentrated near major interchanges along I-20 and US 78. Looking ahead, Highway 5 (Bill Arp Road), Douglas Boulevard, and Bright Star Road are identified as potential local and regional freight routes that may play an increasingly important role as the city continues to grow. The presence of railroad infrastructure further strengthens regional goods movement and connectivity. Maintaining efficient and safe freight routes while balancing roadway capacity and community mobility needs will remain a key consideration in guiding future transportation investments in Douglasville.

PAVEMENT CONDITIONS
The City of Douglasville Pavement Management Report evaluates the condition of the city’s roadway network and outlines a 10-year maintenance and funding strategy for pavement preservation and rehabilitation. The report recommends investing $2 to $2.5 million annually over the next decade to maintain and improve pavement conditions citywide. Douglasville’s citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 75, which indicates pavement conditions in the satisfactory range. Major roads have a PCI of 72, while local roads have a PCI of 75, showing that roadway conditions generally range from satisfactory to good across the network.
Figure 28. Pavement Condition Index Score Map
Roadway Network
The City manages approximately 155 centerline miles (336 lane miles) of roadway divided into 1,478 pavement sections. About 99.7% of the network is asphalt pavement.
Pavement Markings
Of the 336 lane miles, about 202 currently do not have pavement striping, indicating a need for additional markings in some areas.
Maintenance Strategy
Recommended treatments include thin overlays, mill and overlays, and full-depth reclamation based on pavement condition. These strategies are intended to extend pavement life and reduce long-term reconstruction costs.
annual investment of $2 million would maintain the network near a PCI of 70, while $2.5 million per year would help preserve current conditions
Funding Analysis
Funding scenarios show that without investment, the network PCI would decline to 49. An CITY OF DOUGLASVILLE COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

CHAPTER 05 | FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
FUNDING SOURCES
CTP implementation will require a combination of federal, state, regional, and local funding sources from 2026 to 2055. Major funding opportunities include federal and GDOT programs, ARC regional funding, and local SPLOST, and CIP funds. Near-term projects may primarily rely on local and safety-focused grant funding, while larger long-term projects will require coordinated multi-agency funding partnerships and regional programming support.
Understanding Fiscal Constraint: Not all projects in this plan are funded equally. Fiscally con-
strained projects have committed or identified funding and can be realistically implemented within the plan period. Non-fiscally constrained projects represent the City long-term vision — they are included to establish eligibility and guide future funding pursuits, but do not yet have a dedicated funding source.
Typical Fiscally constrained projects:
Typical Non-Fiscally constrained projects:
• Sidewalks and trails
• Major corridor widenings (e.g., Hwy 5)
• Corridor improvements with funding identified
• Interchange/bridge reconstruction
• Signal upgrades, intersection improvements • Small-to-medium roadway projects • Planning and Scoping Studies
• New roadway connections
• Large transit investments (rail, major expansions)
LOCAL FUNDING - SPLOST
The SPLOST revenues are allocated across several capital investment categories:
$18.4 M FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
PARKS & RECREATION
10% 35%
51,000,000

FACILITIES
PUBLIC SAFETY
According to the City of Douglasville’s FY2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, SPLOST is the City’s primary local transportation funding source. The current SPLOST 2022 program, approved by voters in November 2022, is projected to generate approximately $51 million over six years through March 2029, with 35% of total proceeds — approximately $18,411,594 — allocated to Transportation and Streets improvements. 46
CITY OF DOUGLASVILLE COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
PRIORITY TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS IDENTIFIED UNDER SPLOST 2022 INCLUDE: • Highway 5 Bridge improvements at I-20
• Bicycle and pedestrian connectivity projects • Northside Trail implementation
• Road resurfacing and pavement maintenance programs • Traffic Signals and Street Lighting
SPLOST funding plays a critical role in implementing local transportation improvements because it provides flexible funding that can also serve as the required local match for state and federal grant programs.
STATE FUNDING The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) provides several state funding programs applicable to CTP-recommended projects, including the Local Assistance Road Program (LARP) and State Route Aid. Additional state funding sources include the Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank (GTIB), administered by the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), and the GDOT Multimodal Safety Program.

REGIONAL FUNDING The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) serves as the primary regional funding agency for transportation improvements in the City of Douglasville, administering the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Livable Centers Initiative (LCI), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program, all of which are applicable to CTP-recommended projects. The City has previously utilized LCI funding for the Fairburn Road Complete Street project and should continue to pursue ARC programs for future corridor, pedestrian, and signal improvement projects. The Atlanta-Region Transit Link (ATL) Authority and Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA) provide additional regional funding opportunities for transit-supportive infrastructure and regionally significant corridor improvements. ARC develops and manages the region’s long-range transportation plan, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), and projects must be included in both the MTP and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to be eligible for federal funding.

FEDERAL FUNDING The federal government provides several formula-based and competitive funding programs applicable to CTP-recommended projects, administered through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), and passed through the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). Formula-based programs including the Surface Transportation Program (STP), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Transportation Alternatives Program (TASA), and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program provide ongoing annual funding for roadway, safety, pedestrian, bicycle, and signal improvement projects identified in this CTP. Competitive discretionary programs, including Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grants, RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) Grants, and Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants, provide additional federal funding opportunities for larger capacity improvements, complete street projects, and safety planning studies, with Douglas County having previously demonstrated regional competitiveness through a successful SS4A award. The City of Douglasville should actively coordinate with GDOT and ARC to ensure CTP-recommended projects are eligible for federal funding consideration and included in the ARC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to position them for federal funding allocation.

CHAPTER 05
FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS The initial project evaluation was based on Atlanta Regional Commission TIP criteria; however, the final prioritization was further refined through public survey results, project feasibility, cost considerations, and the City’s capacity to deliver projects using local funding sources. Stakeholder and community feedback highlighted strong support for sidewalk expansion, pedestrian safety improvements, and enhanced walking and biking connections to schools, parks, and commercial destinations. The recommendations are organized into three implementation tiers. Tier I short-term projects are typically planning studies or quick-fix improvements for which local funding should be considered to accelerate implementation on a reduced timeline: Tier I Short-Term: 2026–2030 Tier II Mid-Term: 2031–2035 Tier III Long-Term: 2036–2055 The following sections provide a detailed description of each recommendation, encompassing four project types, supplemented by other recommendations addressing trails, street lighting, and a golf cart pilot program, as well as a Five-Year Action Plan to guide City staff and elected officials through implementation: I. Roadway Safety & Operations II. Intersection Improvements III. Roadway Capacity IV. Active Transportation
CHAPTER 05 | FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
I. ROADWAY SAFETY & OPERATIONS
The Roadway Safety and Operations (RSO) projects address traffic safety deficiencies, pedestrian access gaps, and operational inefficiencies across the City of Douglasville’s transportation network. The eleven recommended projects are organized into three implementation tiers spanning 2026 to 2055. Tier I (2026–2030) prioritizes near-term road safety audits along four key corridors, school zone pedestrian crossing improvements, and a traffic operations study, totaling approximately $350,000. Tier II (2031– 2035) advances corridor safety upgrades and railroad pedestrian access control measures along Hwy 78 estimated at $1,800,250. Tier III (2036–2055) addresses railroad crossing upgrades at three locations along Hwy 78 and W. Strickland Street, with a combined estimated cost of $3,900,000. The total estimated investment across all three tiers is approximately $6,050,250, excluding RSO-07 pending planning study results. Implementation will require coordination with ARC, GDOT, Douglas County, and Norfolk Southern Railway.

CHAPTER 05 | FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
IV. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION (PEDESTRIAN & BICYCLE) The Active Transportation (PB) projects address pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure gaps, connectivity deficiencies, and multimodal access needs throughout the City of Douglasville. The thirty-three recommended projects are organized into three implementation tiers spanning 2026 to 2055. Tier I (2026–2030) prioritizes near-term sidewalk infill, bike boulevard striping and signage, and a complete street scoping study for Church St across twelve projects, totaling approximately $3,080,000. Tier II (2031– 2035) advances sidewalk gap infill and pedestrian connectivity improvements along school corridors and major roadways across thirteen projects, totaling approximately $15,205,000. Tier III (2036–2055) addresses long-term transformative investments including complete street redesigns, shared-use path construction, and streetscape improvements across eight projects, totaling approximately $37,020,000, with three additional projects pending scoping study results. The total estimated investment across all three tiers is approximately $55,305,000 for confirmed projects, excluding the three projects pending scoping study results. Implementation will require coordination with ARC, GDOT, and Douglas County, including the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant programs.

CHAPTER 05 | FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS This section presents recommendations that are not necessarily project-specific but would positively impact transportation infrastructure and travel throughout the City of Douglasville. It also includes a Five-Year Action Plan to guide elected officials and City staff in implementing the plan’s recommendations. For certain projects, the City of Douglasville may have opportunities to partner with Douglas County and neighboring organizations or agencies.
REGIONAL TRAIL CONNECTIVITY
Future trail planning in the City of Douglasville focuses on improving connections between local greenways, parks, neighborhoods, and regional trails such as the Silver Comet Trail. Expanding access to this regional trail will enhance recreation, support active transportation, and improve connectivity to key destinations. New shared-use paths and greenway links can help create a more continuous trail network, allowing residents and visitors to safely walk or bike between parks, activity centers, and surrounding communities.

LIGHTING
Street lighting in the City of Douglasville plays an important role in improving traffic safety, pedestrian visibility, and overall roadway operations, particularly along major corridors and at key intersections. Lighting is typically provided along arterial and collector roadways, commercial areas, and activity centers where nighttime traffic volumes are higher. However, lighting is more limited along local residential streets and some suburban corridors, resulting in reduced nighttime visibility in certain areas. Future transportation improvements in Douglasville may include enhanced street lighting at bus stops, intersections, pedestrian crossings, trails, and other high-activity corridors. Strategic lighting upgrades can help reduce nighttime crashes, improve visibility, and create safer and more comfortable conditions for walking and bicycling.
PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE (PTV) PROJECT In late February 2026, the Douglasville City Council adopted the Personal Transportation Vehicle (PTV) / golf cart ordinance, effective March 16, 2026. The program allows residents to drive street-legal carts in designated downtown areas, regulating PTV use to streets with speed limits of 25 mph or lower. Vehicle inspections, valid driver’s licenses, and liability insurance are required for participation. The goal is to test whether PTVs can improve access to key destinations and reduce short automobile trips, providing a lowcost mobility option for Douglasville residents. N

CHAPTER 05 | FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
With the PTV/golf cart ordinance now adopted, the City of Douglasville is poised to launch its pilot program. Ward 2 / downtown Douglasville has been selected as the initial pilot area due to its high concentration of destinations, network of eligible local streets, and strong potential for short trips. Expansion to additional wards may be considered — either in parallel or through a phased approach — based on the following criteria: 1. Presence of multiple destinations within close proximity, 2. Continuity of local streets posted at 25 mph or less, and 3. Minimal need to travel on unsuitable corridors or construct dedicated off-road PTV facilities. To support successful implementation, the City should ensure that all designated PTV streets are posted at 25 mph or less, and install clear signage, wayfinding, and pavement markings consistent with City standards. Enforcement of pilot operating rules, combined with public education efforts, will be essential to promote safe and compliant use. Collecting before-and-after data on safety, usage, and economic impacts will allow the City to evaluate program effectiveness and guide future expansion decisions.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES
The PTV program supports a more connected local transportation system by reducing short automobile trips and strengthening neighborhood-to-destination access. Additional benefits include lower emissions, support for local businesses, increased community interaction, and low-cost implementation on existing local streets. However, because PTVs have fewer safety protections than passenger vehicles, route selection is critical. They are best suited for low-volume, low-speed streets with limited crossings of major corridors, and implementation will require clear ordinances, signage, operating rules, and public education. Since not all areas of Douglasville have the street network needed to support PTV travel, the pilot program should focus on the most suitable local street environments first.
WARD-BASED OPPORTUNITY AREAS
Each ward includes a network of local streets posted at 25 mph or lower, along with clusters of key destinations, though the level of suitability varies by ward. The ward maps also identify unsuitable roads, emphasizing that the pilot program should prioritize local connectors and neighborhood streets rather than major corridors, while creating direct connections between residential neighborhoods and nearby retail areas, parks, and other key destinations.

WARD 2
The City’s initial PTV pilot program is centered within a 2-mile radius of downtown Douglasville, serving as the launch area for short local trips on carefully selected routes. With the highest concentration of destinations within close proximity — including schools, Legacy Arena, Hunter Memorial Park, West Pines Golf Club, Town Green, WellStar Douglas Medical Center, and surrounding retail areas — Ward 2 presents the strongest pilot context and the most suitable environment to introduce and test the PTV program.

3. Which areas or corridors in the city experience the most congestion or delay you experience and or hear from the citizens? -Chapel Hill/Douglas Blvd/Hwy 5 corridor. -Entrance ramp to I-20 WB from Fairburn Rd (ramp is too short with two lanes of vehicles merging on the ramp). -McCarly St railroad crossing (signal on each side of the tracks, not enough room, cars stop on the tracks). 4. How well do current transportation options serve vulnerable populations (e.g., seniors, youth, low-income, disabled)? There is a county run bus service, but routes are limited.
5. Are there specific neighborhoods or communities that feel underserved by current transportation infrastructure? New Horizons area has limited sidewalks, few railroad crossing, and it is hard to cross the railroad tracks as a pedestrian.

6. How important do you feel active transportation facilities such as safe and complete sidewalks and bike ability are to residents and businesses in Douglasville such as in the downtown area, near parks and or destinations such as schools and employment centers? Very important. There are practically no safe roads to bike on, and limited sidewalks.
7. What emerging trends (e.g., EVs (electric vehicles), micromobility (electric bikes, scooters, e.g.), telecommuting and autonomous vehicles should Douglasville prepare for in its 2025 plan? (Multiple responses can be selected or added) Golf carts.
8. Are there significant new developments or land use changes that may impact transportation needs? Rose Ave. residential development, as one example. There are multiple new apartment complexes in the city, as well as new data centers and warehousing, which will increase truck traic (Strickland St, Rose Ave, Brightstar connector.
9. Provide your top 3 transportation needs you currently see as the highest priority for Douglasville now and moving into the future. Sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and relief of congestion in retail areas (Chapel Hill/Hwy 5).

1. What are the most pressing transportation challenges facing Douglasville today? Bike and pedestrian connectivity across the railroad and across I-20. We do not have good connections between our residential areas and downtown.
2. What transportation-related safety concerns do you hear most often from the community? Speeding. Disregard for signage.
3. Which areas or corridors in the city experience the most congestion or delay you experience and or hear from the citizens? Hwy 5 and Chapel Hill Rd corridors. Chicago Avenue southbound connecting to Rose Ave (VMH/Rose Ave intersection). S. Flatrock to W. Strickland St to Hwy 5 southbound at commute hours. Campbellton St southbound when Douglas County School lets out. 4. How well do current transportation options serve vulnerable populations (e.g., seniors, youth, low-income, disabled)? Connect Douglas seems to serve senior, low-income and disabled well. Youth are underserved and need safer bike/pedestrian paths. 5. Are there specific neighborhoods or communities that feel underserved by current transportation infrastructure? Chicago Avenue to Cave Springs Rd is a major residential corridor with little to no sidewalk and again no pedestrian crossing connecting to downtown. Prestley Mill Road has no safe pedestrian path across I-20 to connect to downtown.

6. How important do you feel active transportation facilities such as safe and complete sidewalks and bike ability are to residents and businesses in Douglasville such as in the downtown area, near parks and or destinations such as schools and employment centers? I think these are very important. We often have bikes and pedestrians in the road when there are no facilities available. But we have to connect ALL THE WAY to neighborhoods. Parks, schools and downtown are great, but most people don’t live in those areas. They need a way to get there.
7. What emerging trends (e.g., EVs (electric vehicles), micromobility (electric bikes, scooters, e.g.), telecommuting and autonomous vehicles should Douglasville prepare for in its 2025 plan? (Multiple responses can be selected or added) Electric bikes are all over City streets right now and would be much safer on multi use paths.
8. Are there significant new developments or land use changes that may impact transportation needs? Rose Ave. residential development, as one example. Multi Data Center campus at W. Strickland / S. Flat Rock. Large residential development, Prestley Mill @ Timber Ridge.
9. Provide your top 3 transportation needs you currently see as the highest priority for Douglasville now and moving into the future. 1. Complete path system and fill sidewalk gaps 2. Construct multiple bike/ped crossings over railroad to “stitch” town together.

Douglas Blvd & Hwy 5 intersection. I avoid businesses in that area because congestion backs up in all directions. It needs 3-4 lanes each way (including the bridge). Rt. 92 upgrade has been a God send, but you killed all the businesses in downtown Douglasville as if they were an Who planned that out? There isn’t even a crosswalk for afterthought. Death of Douglasville. the train tracks! Sorry the parking garage doesn’t cover all needs when there is an event. Bike trails? I travel to Hiram to ride my bike. You are driving people away.

Getting off I-20 E at Chapel Hill. The lights aren't timed right so when the light off the exit turns green, there's no where to go because the light at chapel hill and douglas blvd is red. Also, most people want to turn right into the lanes that go straight on chapel hill so if there were 2 right hand turn lanes off the interstate, that would help. Also, traffic in hwy 5 is always awful, specifically the intersection with douglas blvd and the intersection with wal-mart.

Which will ultimately make the traffic on Stewart mill at central church worse & traffic on west Stewart mill at hwy 5 even worse than it is. In addition, I feel all of chapel hill rd all the way down to 166 is too small. It needs more lanes to pass slow vehicles. I feel the same way about bankhead hwy.

Many calls have been made regarding this dangerous situation, yet nothing is ever done about and Kehe is never held an accountable.

Fatalities and severe injuries resulting from vehicle crashes remain unacceptably high, with excessive speed and aggressive driving being major contributing factors. While congestion and conditions on I-20 present challenges, many drivers carry that same aggression onto local surface streets, creating dangerous conditions for the broader community. Douglasville leadership must take decisive action to assert control over local roadways by establishing clear boundaries, appropriate speed limits, and consistent

Additionally, ticketing & prosecuting violators has the potential to generate huge financial revenue for the county, rather than "property taxing to death" the residents!

West Stewart Mill Road is a no brainer. Arbor Station Elementary is not even connected via sidewalk to the massive Arbor Station Subdivision. Douglas County installed sidewalks at West Stewart Mill Road and Stewart Mill Road intersection, connecting Stewart Mill subdivision with the neighborhood commercial area at the intersection, and extended sidewalks to stop at the city border on W Stewart mill just before the school. West Stewart mill road is heavily walked, you can see the line in the soil from people walking so much from Stewart Mill Road all the way to Highway 5. The sidewalks should extend all the way down West Stewart Mill Rd the full length. This will connect many apartment complexes, the giant Arbor Station subdivision, Stewart Mill subdivision, and various other older neighborhoods. Sidewalks should extend into Arbor Station and connect to the existing network. Hundreds of houses are centered here, and it is adjacent to the conmercial district of the city. this is the most logical place to extend sidewalks. Also, another location is Highway 5. The highway is GDOT, I know, but it must be improved to be pedestrian friendly. We have people walking day and night on Highway 5 and there are no sidewalks at all in portions of the city limits and especially near Steak n Shake and McDonalds.

Traffic is feeling the growing pains. Improvements are needed now to keep the public safe. No turn on red. The lights on Hwy 5 need improvement to make the traffic flow especially on the interstate bridge. The bridge over the interstate on Hwy 5 needs repairs too many potholes. It makes me so think about my safety.

Accessibility: Continue sidewalks that stop after the crosswalk, or just end in grass.

Please stop developing every green area in the city limits and tearing/excavating down established trees. Tree replacement is a joke for new developments and has at times been too close to the roadway/power lines once they grow and become fully grown. Stop building warehouses that do not have a waiting contract for occupancy. Please address the dilapidated properties along major through ways (I-78 being the first - it is embarrassing to see to properties close to downtown and then seeing them as you head out of town looking like no one gives a hoot about what it looks like) It leaves a bad impression of what you see as you are passing through on HWY 78. please take down the “to HWY 92 and I-20” on Dallas Hwy (old 92) going south toward Strickland, near Parker Street (can no longer go directly over the tracks to go into town since we now have to use McCarley St - signs are near the telephone pole in front of the business before Parker St)

We should have trails for safe hiking, biking and walking. Also, shopping. Douglas County has some beautiful green spaces for things like that. Bring more well known restaurants and shopping areas also. No more Dollar Generals please!!!

We could take a hint from Alpharetta with the beautification of the neutral grounds and roadways. Everything looks so dull. Introduce some historic/architecture charm, light posts, railings and plants/flowers/trees throughout the city.

Campbellton St needs major attention and focus on drivers excessively speeding. Many students have to cross the street, lots of people walking and jogging down the street as well.

No more data centers that destroy streams and bodies of water. Increase nature conservation efforts. Decrease apartments and subdivisions

The logistics centers that are being built next to academy sports could’ve been used for restaurants, residential, & shopping which would have made the city more money in sales tax than it’ll make in property tax from the numerous logistic centers we don’t need.

widening roads only increases development and congestion. This is a basic fact of city planning, so let's develop mass transit first because it's hard to add a light rail line to a road you've already finished and didn't plan for. Also let's coordinate with neighboring counties as Mayor Johnson had hoped when he brought the Olympics here. So many opportunities have already been lost and it hurts all of us

Stop mixing industry with residential. Set up safe and reliable transportation between douglasville and Atlanta.
12/14/2025 8:41 AM

Moving forward, when you approve land use, make them include sidewalks. It’s unbelievable the number of neighborhoods being built without requiring them to include sidewalks.

Not so much for transportation, but better enforcement of speeding/other driving infractions. I know the roads and intersections can only be as safe as the drivers who use them, and there are a lot of really dangerous drivers in our area. Speeding, aggressive driving, and driving while smoking marijuana are things I encounter every day.

There are some bus stops that aren’t marked. If you area new rider, you wouldn’t know where to catch the bus. Since the bus system seems to be losing money, those routes with reduced ridership should become dial a ride until ridership reaches a positive net revenue generating level.

Chapel hill at I20 is fine the wY it is. Do not add any additional lights as it will cause massive traffic

When growing a community like this. Safe and alternative modes of transportation should be considered and it does not seem that was even thought about. We have random sidewalks to nowhere that abruptly stop forcing people to walk on uneven ground or in the road possibly at night. It's incredibly unsafe. Bus stops look like randomly thrown up signs in mounds of grass and are small and easily missed. I have no issues with busses but it didn't seem they were used enough to warrant more busses.

I like living in Douglasville - but I don't always want to drive. But walking is very scary where there aren't any sidewalks and I have put off purchasing a bike due to no bike lanes

A dedicated turning lane would be awesome for residents and guests at Laurelwood (Townhome community in front of Arbor Place Mall). Trying to get in and out the neighborhood can be difficult with oncoming traffic going to the mall or exiting the roundabout from the mall. On a positive note, I like the expanded turning lane near Home Goods. It has significantly helped to reduce congestion.

Roads are being significantly deteriorated due to the increase in truck traffic. Potholes are everywhere and when fixed, they develop again the next time it rains. We need permanent fixes.

Discontinued bus services, we are bleeding money and the number of people utilizing the services does not account to the amount paid by the citizens

Need more transport options for students and seniors. Uber is too expensive for those without Transport options. Walkability should mirror other nearby counties…Cobb etc

I live a few blocks west the new amphitheater/town green (on Whitley) but I have to walk along a short portion of Veterans Memorial without a sidewalk to access the town green. It’s so close to being well connected but a stretch of a few houses don’t have a sidewalk so I have to walk/jog along the highway exposed. We avoid bringing our 14-month old son on these trips as a result.

Going forward, prioritize any option that take cars off the road (complete streets/trails) and reduce traffic being stopped (introduce traffic circles, remove conflict points). Also, industrial development has created truck traffic that is unsustainable. Recent zoning has caused conflict on roads and elsewhere.
