Description

The City of Atlanta proposes to construct pedestrian accommodations and minor widening along 2.1 miles of Campbellton Road/SR 154/SR 166 from Enon Road to Campground Road in Fulton County. The improvements are intended to address the need for sidewalks, improved pedestrian accommodations, and minor operational improvements throughout the project corridor.

The existing roadway would be improved to add outside curb and gutter with sidewalks on both sides. The proposed project improvements include:

8-foot sidewalks
curb and gutter
drainage
milling
overlay
pedestrian lighting and street landscaping
minor corridor widening to lengthen left turn lanes at Enon Road, County Line Road and Butner Road and improve the westbound lane drop at Butner Road

Plans for the project indicate that the existing 5-foot sidewalks at the Nisky Lake Road intersection will be retained, the intersections at County Line Road and Nisky Lake Road will continue to be signalized, and traffic will be maintained on SR 154/SR 166/Campbellton Road while the improvements are constructed.

Business and homeowner concerns

To understand the scope of work involved in this project, look no further than the budget, which exceeds the $17 million mark. While travelers can expect delays, property owners are faced with losing ground and being pushed closer to the noise and danger of interstate traffic.

More than 100 parcels will be affected by the project. Even the smallest taking could render a property unlivable or in violation of county building codes and regulations.

Finally, there may be drainage and utility easements taken, and damage to property owners via inverse condemnation.

What to do if your property is affected

Even though the government can take your land, you still have rights. GDOT has set aside nearly $4.9 million for right-of-way acquisition – but they won’t necessarily spend it all unless they have to.

You have the right to fair compensation. The initial offer is just the beginning – as long as you do not accept it. You can fight for more. Call 1-888-376-2108 or contact us as soon as possible for a complimentary case evaluation.

We do not take an attorney’s fee unless we increase the government’s offer, and our fee only comes from the increased amount – that’s our no fee guarantee.² The initial offer is entirely yours regardless of what you do next or what we may be able to obtain. Further, we front the costs of fighting your case and if we’re unable to increase the government’s offer to you, you don’t pay them. We do. That is how confident we are that we can assist you.

There are only a handful of attorneys in GA who practice eminent domain exclusively. And even fewer with DOT experience. That’s why it’s always worth it to get a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
