- 4. 4 State of Atlanta’s Infrastructure October 17, 2014 Atlanta 2015 Infrastructure Bond • $1.02B infrastructure backlog • The 2010 State of the City’s Transportation Infrastructure Report identified approximately $881M of transportation infrastructure • The 2014 City’s Facility Infrastructure Report identified $130.8M backlog of projects • The City must take dramatic steps to increase efficiencies and change the way we do business • Tackling these problems will also require a significant cash inflow, which is best done through an infrastructure bond
- 5. 5 Why & How a Referendum October 17, 2014 Atlanta 2015 Infrastructure Bond • An Infrastructure Bond Referendum is a vote within the City to approve or reject a request to borrow money to fund infrastructure projects • The Atlanta City Council must vote to authorize an election to be held for the purpose of determining whether bonds shall be issued for the stated amount and purpose • Mayor Reed intends to ask the City Council in November to authorize a bond referendum vote to be held in March 2015
- 6. 6 No Impact on Atlanta Taxpayers October 17, 2014 Atlanta 2015 Infrastructure Bond • Atlanta taxpayers are not expected to see any increase to their property taxes as a result of the infrastructure bond Issuance • The City’s strong credit rating will provide for a lower cost of borrowing • The annual debt service on the bonds, estimated at $17 million, will be paid from implementing cost savings outlined in the Mayor’s Waste & Efficiency Commission Report
- 7. 7 Next Steps… October 17, 2014 Atlanta 2015 Infrastructure Bond • Deferred maintenance backlog is $1.02 billion • Based on comments received and technical analysis we have narrowed the list to $350 million • Your ideas along with further technical analysis will get us to an achievable bond list

- Here is a schedule of upcoming events…
- Bridge Replacement & Maintenance: $259M, 30% Street Resurfacing: $262M, 31% Sidewalks, Curbs, and ADA Ramps*: $204M, 24%

- In the first round of Public Meetings, we hosted 7 mtgs across the City in all 4 quadrants During those meetings, you told us what project categories and criteria were most important to you Facilities Criteria Facilities Life Cycle and Safety Enhancements were the top two criteria. These criteria consistently ranked high across all seven meetings. Transportation Criteria Transportation Criteria as a whole was the most popular board among the voters, receiving a total of 1,040 dots, nearly 50 percent of all votes cast. In 6 of the 7 meetings, providing for “Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities” was the overwhelmingly preferred criteria. “Connection to Transit” and the two neighborhood-oriented criteria rounded out the top four.
- Out of the votes that we received, approximately 23% went towards facilities and 77% towards transportation. Our current list of projects is broken out in a similar fashion, with 2/3 towards transportation and nearly 1/3 towards facilities. The remaining 6% will be set aside for Program Administration and Art. Examples of art would include painted pavers, sculptures, sundials, enhanced landscaping and benches, and murals
- Facilities Projects Recreation centers received the most votes at six of the seven meetings. Fire and police station consistently ranked second and third, with very little difference in the meeting over meeting tallies between the two types of facilities. Government buildings received just 14 of the 2,211 votes, the fewest votes of any project or criteria type across the meeting series.
- As stated earlier, over ¾ of your votes went towards transportation projects. Transportation Projects Pedestrian Infrastructure and Street Resurfacing were overwhelming leaders among the project offerings. There was moderate support for the TIA projects and street lights. Traffic Signals, Signs and Flashers and Bridges received the least support. The 6 Categories have been condensed to 4 types of projects on the bond list. Six of the twelve complete street projects are TIA. Complete streets is in the Bike-Ped category. TIA Projects ML King, Jr Dr DeKalb Ave J E Boone Blvd Howell Mill Rd Cascade Rd JE Lowery Blvd Additional Notes on the Transportation Results There is an apparent inconsistency between the Criteria “Infrastructure Sustainability” scoring low while votes for the Project Type Resurfacing Streets scoring extremely high. Two factors appeared to contribute to this: some participants may have believed “sustainability” referred to environmental sustainability rather than roadway life cycle, while many of the bicycle advocates supported resurfacing, but voted for the combined bike/ped criteria rather than the Infrastructure Sustainability” criteria. There was general consistency across the community meetings with the exception of Adamsville. At the Adamsville meeting, attendees tended to be older and the location more suburban that the other meeting locations. Participants prioritized neighborhood-related criteria, safety, and resurfacing streets over bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. At the other six meetings, bike/ped-related projects and criteria were consistently ranked first or second.
- This slide just breaks down the proposed budget for each category You will see that some categories have specific projects identified and the remaining are shown as programs The maps that you will review and comment on after this presentation only shows the specific projects that have been identified. You will not see specific ADA Improvements, sidewalks, traffic signs, street lights and artwork
- Here is a schedule of upcoming events…
- This is the first step towards addressing the critical infrastructure needs of the City. We plan to seek future bonds to continue to address the backlog in an effort to put us on a proactive track towards infrastructure
