Gwinnett commissioners approved an agreement with Lawrenceville on Tuesday to help fund pedestrian improvements along U.S. 29/State Route 8/East Crogan Street from Stanley Court to Village Way near Rhodes Jordan Park east of downtown. The project will install a sidewalk and make drainage improvements.
The county will contribute $100,000 from the 2014 SPLOST program with the city responsible for the rest. Lawrenceville will manage design, right-of-way acquisition and construction.
Gwinnett also agreed to use 2005 SPLOST funds to pay half the cost of pedestrian improvements in Peachtree Corners. CMEC LLC will build a new sidewalk on the east side of Crooked Creek Road from Jay Bird Alley to the existing sidewalk at the entrance to Mary Our Queen Catholic Church.
Curb, gutter and drainage improvements are also included. CMEC was the lowest of seven bidders at $198,779. Work should be complete by the end of the year.
