The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) acquired rights-of-way when building State Route 17A and the Talmadge Memorial Bridge. In 2006, GDOT completed roadway construction and conveyed some remainder surplus parcels of land to the City of Savannah (City). Recently, GDOT discovered it inadvertently conveyed portions of land to the City upon which State Route 17-A was built. GDOT is now requesting the City quitclaim back these lands to clear title issues. The lands are referenced as Parcels 8, 24, and part of 34 (and depicted on the attached exhibit). 

This request has been reviewed and approved by Stormwater, Water Sewer Planning and Engineering, Development Services, Park & Tree, and Real Estate Services. Additionally, authorization for the City Manager to execute all associated deeds and closing documents is being requested.
