Gwinnett Commissioners last week awarded construction contracts for a project to build new sidewalks on the north side of McDonough Drive from Dawson Boulevard to Graves Road, bus shelter pads for future bus shelters, plus curb, gutter and drainage improvements. Funding for the $334,544 project comes from the 2014 SPLOST program and a federal stimulus grant.

Three other projects will connect existing sidewalks near Little Mulberry Park including the south side of Hog Mountain Road from east of Mulberry Oaks Court to Hamilton Mill Parkway and the north side of Hog Mountain from Ridgemill Terrace to Jim Moore Road, from east of Jim Moore to Greenside Court and from west of Patrick Road to Pine Road.

The third project will construct sidewalk along the east side of Jim Moore Road from Greenside Court to the existing sidewalk north of Greenside Court. The 2009 SPLOST program is funding the $879,254.50 improvements.
