Johns Creek Begins 4th Year Of Neighborhood Repaving

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The city of Johns Creek has entered the fourth year of its program to resurface neighborhood streets. Public Works crews are slated to pave 30 neighborhoods this year.

A repaving schedule is available on the city's website, and is subject to change due to weather and availability of additional crews. This final crop of streets on the list will complete Johns Creek's program, with a total of 107 subdivisions resurfaced between 2015 and 2018.

Johns Creek came up with its prioritized list in 2014, when it used a consultant with a specially equipped vehicle to drive each of Johns Creek’s streets to gauge their conditions. Using the resulting data as a guide, Public Works staff developed a repaving plan for the city’s subdivision.

The physical survey of city streets revealed that many of them had a substandard Pavement Quality Index (PQI). The PQI is a 1-100 scale developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to measure cracking, potholes, rutting, weathering and other factors. Low PQI scores reflect a lower condition of the pavement. The lower the PQI score, the higher the priority when scheduling the repaving.

Johns Creek's plan seeks to bring all neighborhoods in the city to a minimum PQI of 65. For more information, check out the Neighborhood Repaving website.
