City leaders in Johns Creek are inviting the public to attend a meeting on Wednesday where they can voice their opinions about a new road construction project.

As part of the Tier 1 TSPLOST projects, the city is planning to build a two-lane road that would connect Bell Road to Johns Creek Parkway near Technology Park, running parallel to Medlock Bridge Road.

The meeting to discuss the project with the public will be held Sept. 12 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Johns Creek Municipal Court at 11445 Johns Creek Parkway.

The project would cost an estimated $2.5 million and could include improvements such as sidewalks, trails and landscaping, according to the city’s website.
