Johns Creek residents will soon see the early signs of improvements coming to their neighborhood streets.

The city has kicked off its neighborhood repaving initiative, a multi-year plan to upgrade the city’s streets. Work started this week and will possibly finish in late fall, and paving will be done during the day, the city said.

“When the city incorporated in 2006, we inherited a neighborhood street network that hadn’t been properly maintained,” Mayor Mike Bodker previously said. “As a result, we are taking our initial steps toward getting our roads to an appropriate condition. By improving and maintaining our neighborhood streets, we’ll be helping our citizens protect their greatest investment – their homes – and maintain a high quality of life.”

Johns Creek is set to spend about $5.83 million in 2015 to repave 33 subdivisions. In 2011, the city hired a private company, Stantec, to drive all the streets in Johns Creek to assess their condition. Using information from the Stantec analysis, the city prioritized its repaving schedule based on subdivisions with the worst streets.

To alert people that their neighborhood will be paved soon, the city will put up street signs near subdivision entrances and notify HOAs.

Paving updates will be posted on the city’s website and Facebook page. Residents can view the 2015 Neighborhood Repaving Map by subdivision and the 2015 Neighborhood Repaving Plan.
