Subdivision wants city to take over its streets

Johns Creek is considering a request by the Wentworth Subdivision to have the city take ownership of its private streets once they are brought up to standard. The 40-lot subdivision on Haynes Bridge Road is one of four ungated communities in Johns Creek with private roads. Because there are no throughways in the subdivision, city officials are weighing whether incorporating the streets would benefit the public good or whether Johns Creek has an obligation to the subdivision to take the streets off their hands.
