Johns Creek/Alpharetta Roads

October 16, 2008JOHNS CREEK - Several road improvement projects in the city are about to get underway in the next few weeks and at the start of the new year.Intersection improvements will begin soon at Old Alabama and Haynes Bridge roads, according to Ken Hildebrandt, public works director for the city.He also said at the Oct. 6 City Council work session that striping improvements will be made on Abbotts Bridge at Boles Road and Medlock Bridge at Parsons Road.The traffic signal installation on McGinnis Ferry Road at Seven Oaks Parkway will be up and functional in November, he said.Six sidewalk construction projects along Old Alabama Road (three projects total), Taylor Road and Findley Road will save the city $48,000, since the project bids came in under budget.Hildebrandt said the $48,000 will be combined with money that City Council already approved for sidewalk construction projects; the next phase will begin in the spring.Drivers may feel safer knowing guardrails will be repaired in 12 locations around the city. However, the guardrail replacement projects does not include new guardrails, only existing ones around Johns Creek.Hildebrandt said the Buice Road full reformation project will begin soon and construction on the Johns Creek Greenway will begin in the spring.
