Johns Creek to spend $289K upgrading 2 traffic signals

The Johns Creek City Council has awarded a $289,989 construction contract to upgrade two traffic signals on Old Alabama Road.

American Lighting and Signalization Inc. submitted the lowest of four bids for the work, staff said in a report to the council.

Signals on mast arms will be installed on Old Alabama at Newtown Park/Fire Station and at Haynes Bridge Road. The work is part of a city program to replace span-wire signals with the mast arm types, as the latter “are more durable, able to hold video and detection equipment and are aesthetically pleasing,” staff said.
