Safety Improvements Near Grayson Elementary Approved

GRAYSON, GA -- The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved $1.92 million for intersection upgrades and other improvements near Grayson Elementary School.

“The project will add turn lanes, sidewalks and a new traffic signal to the intersection of State Route 84 and Rosebud Road,” county transporation director Alan Chapman told commissioners, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post. “The work will reduce congestion at the intersection and improve access to the adjacent Grayson Elementary School.”

State Route 84 is more commonly know as Grayson Parkway.

The construction also will include a few hundred yards of clearing and tree-and-brush removal, curb and gutter work, asphalt paving, striping and the construction of new walls.

The project will be paid for with 2014 funds from Gwinnett’s special-purpose local-option sales tax.
