Mitigation

What does your community need?

The City of Savannah and Georgia DOT need your ideas for mitigating impacts for Project DeRenne

Project DeRenne Mitigation

What is Mitigation? Mitigation is a proactive approach to lessening or reducing the severity, size, or likelihood of environmental impacts because of Project DeRenne.

The following mitigation measures have been developed and incorporated into the project’s mitigation plan so far: 

  • Relocation Assistance Program (RAP) 
  • Tatemville Noise Barrier
  • Use of Savannah brick on noise barriers
  • Decorative concrete stamping on flyover ramps
  • Written narrative examining the history of the Tatemville Historic District
  • Permanent Archival Records of historic resources that will be impacted by the proposed project including the University Place Historic District, Tatemville Historic District, and the Davis and Watkins Properties.
  • Historic context that describes the mid-20th-century suburbanization along the DeRenne Avenue corridor
  • Improved bicycle and pedestrian accommodations (10-foot multi-use path)
  • Frontage Road with vegetative buffer placed along Hampstead Avenue
