Public Input Meeting Scheduled For Road Projects

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The upcoming monthly public input meeting on proposed plans to widen McGinnis Ferry and Jones Bridge roads will be held next week in Johns Creek.

Residents are invited to receive the latest updates on both projects at Johns Creek City Hall from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, June 15.

Additional meeting dates have been scheduled for July 13 and Aug. 17.

The proposed design for the McGinnis Ferry Road project includes two lanes in each direction with a 20-foot wide raised median, a 16-foot wide urban shoulder along the north side of road with a 10-foot wide multi-use path and a 12-foot wide urban shoulder along the south side of the road, with a 5-foot wide sidewalk. Stage construction and traffic control devices will be utilized to maintain traffic during construction and may require temporary lane closures.

Forsyth County is overseeing the design of the widening project with the Georgia Department of Transportation. The cities of Johns Creek and the Alpharetta are providing review and comments.

For the Jones Bridge Road corridor, plans call for widening the existing roadway from two to four lanes for a 1.5 mile section of roadway as well as the addition of a landscaped median and a 10-foot multi-use trail on the west side of the road. The project also includes operational improvements to intersections such as turn lanes, revised traffic signals, and reconfiguration of the existing pavement to add two through lanes.

Johns Creek City Hall is located at 12000 Findley Road.
