Entryways & Corridors

Chair: Mr. Barry Storey

A major recommendation of the master plan is to enhance the access corridors and gateways into the urban area. A partial list of these gateways include the following:

  • Wheeler Road - In 2010, this gateway and corridor was
    completely revitalized from I-20 to
    Bobby Jones Expressway.
  • St. Sebastian Way - In 2011, work began on
    putting together a funding package
    as well as developing a landscaping
    plan.

  • Walton Way

  • Riverwatch Parkway

  • Gordon Highway

  • Sand Bar Ferry Road

  • Laney Walker East

  • I-520/US 1 Corridor

  • Georgia Avenue/13th Street


    • Key gateways into the urban area are found in every direction and need attention and enforceable guidelines for adjacent development. As visitors come to Augusta and North Augusta, the gateways and corridors into our cities form a first impression. This Implementation Team is working with city and state government and private individuals to address the lack of focus on our gateways. This lack of focus has caused many of the gateways to project an uncomplimentary view of our cities.
