During the May 19, 2026 work session, Moultrie’s City Manager briefed Council on an ongoing road closure near First Baptist Church that is significantly affecting the church’s preschool operations and weekday traffic. The city is awaiting data related to the closure’s impacts, including increased enrollment at the preschool due to other daycare closures, which is expected to intensify traffic and accessibility issues in the area. This indicates an emerging need for traffic management, access planning, and potentially small-scale infrastructure adjustments to safely accommodate increased vehicle flow around the preschool.While no vendor has been selected and no specific project has been defined yet, Council discussion and the pending data suggest that the city may consider design, engineering, or operational solutions once impacts are quantified. Vendors offering traffic studies, transportation planning, and safety improvements could position themselves to help the city interpret the data and design mitigations around the affected corridor.

Utilities Director confirmed easements and continued underground utility access (water and sewer), so any traffic/access solution must coordinate with existing utility corridors.
