Work is progressing on the design phase of the proposed TDK Boulevard extension from Peachtree City into Coweta County, as the City Council last week approved a bid from Dames & Moore for the design work.

The extension is expected to relieve some of the traffic congestion felt on Ga. Highway 54 west of Peachtree City by giving motorists another route into the city's industrial park.

About 3,600 feet of the road would be in Peachtree City under the current plan, with nearly a mile more running into Coweta County.

City manager Jim Basinger reported at the council meeting that Pathway Communities plans to donate the necessary right-of-way for the Peachtree City portion, and Coweta County has committed to acquiring what is needed on its side once the city has taken care of the design and engineering work.

City staff recommended awarding the design contract to Dames & Moore, the highest bidder of the three submitted, at $272,725. The city determined that the firm's superior qualifications justified the financial cost.
