*Medians on Ga. Highway 54 in Fayetteville will be filled with shrubs, flowers and small trees if a beautification plan is approved by City Council tomorrow night.

Council will consider a landscape design worked out by the city's Main Street Committee, along with landscape architect C.L. Douthard. The group will meet at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

The plan is part of an ambitious downtown revitalization project being fueled with a $1.15 million bond issue approved by City Council last fall.

If approved, the Hwy. 54 work will be completed this spring. Phase two, improving medians on Ga. Highway 85 north of Jeff Davis Drive, will be targeted for next fall.

*Widening of Jeff Davis Drive to five lanes from Ga. Highway 54 to Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard may begin this fall.

During its meeting tomorrow night, Fayetteville City Council is expected to hire Integrated Science and Engineering to design the road improvements at a cost of $63,721.

The bid also includes designing the widening of Grady Avenue to three lanes from Hwy. 54 to Bradford Square.

Only one company submitted a bid for the design project.

* A new Catholic school at Fayette's north border with Fulton County will be financed with a Development Authority bond. The County Commission has approved issuance of a tax-exempt $21.5 million bond for the facility.

The school will be at Ga. highways 314 and 138.
