Johns Creek sets subdivision repaving

Johns Creek Public Works Department officials this month kick off their neighborhood repaving initiative, a multi-year plan to upgrade subdivision streets.

City officials said they plan to spend about $5.83 million in 2015 to repave 33 subdivisions. They’ve prioritized their schedule to deal with the worst neighborhood thoroughfares first, based on a 2011 assessment of the street network by a private company. Paving will be done during the day and should wrap up in late fall.

Mayor Mike Bodker said the work’s necessary because the city inherited a neighborhood street network that hadn’t been properly maintained upon incorporation in 2006.
