The Johns Creek City Council recently reviewed two options for shoulder improvements along Parsons Road between Royce Drive and Hampstead Way to protect motorists from a steep drop-off in the shoulder.
The council vote landed on a guardrail option costing an estimated $350K versus building a wall in the same area for about $950K. Either option improves safety for motorists and can be funded by TSPLOST II.
The section of Parsons Road between Royce Drive and Hampstead Way has a wide sidewalk with curb and gutter along the east side and a limited width flush shoulder (with no curb and gutter) running along a steep, tree-lined embankment on the west side. This section of Parsons Road is approximately 950 feet with approximately 250 feet already protected by guardrail.
