Rogers Bridge Road Trail & Bell Road Trail
Project Completed: September 2025
Another trail connection has been completed in Johns Creek, making it easier for pedestrians to easily access nearby schools and Cauley Creek Park.
The project included the installation of multi-use trails along the east side of Rogers Bridge Road from Bell Road to Amberleigh Way and along Bell Road from Cauley Creek Park to Rogers Bridge Road.
Another project component was the realignment of the intersection of Rogers Bridge Road and Bell Road. It was lowered about five feet to improve sight distance for drivers turning onto Bell Road and increase overall driver and pedestrian safety.
Jones Bridge Road Widening (Waters Road to State Bridge Road)
Project Completed (August 2025)
The Jones Bridge Road widening project is complete! New trees and landscape plants will be added separately in phases starting in October.
Mayor John Bradberry, Mayor Pro Tem Dilip Tunki, Rep. Scott Hilton, Fulton County School Board Member Kristin McCabe, Fulton County Schools Area Superintendent Brian Downey, Dolvin Elementary School Principal Andy Stein, a group of Dolvin students, and City staff gathered to mark the project’s completion.
The project, from Waters Road to State Bridge Road, adds deceleration lanes into neighborhoods and improves egress from neighborhoods where appropriate. Some areas along the roadway were repurposed into bike lanes.
The project also provides longer carpool queuing lines and school bus lines at Dolvin Elementary which removes more of the school traffic from the main travel lanes thus decreasing congestion.
It also addresses pedestrian safety and access with a sidewalk on one side of the road and a wider trail on the other side of the road.
The project has a few punch-list and clean-up items, including the sound abatement fencing, remaining to be completed by the end of September.
Buice Road Trail (Spruill Road to Haverhill Lane)
Project Completed: July 2025
The Buice Road Trail project is officially complete, marking a significant step in strengthening neighborhood connectivity and enhancing pedestrian safety in our community.
The project, which included a 10-foot multi-use trail along the south side of Buice Road, fills one of the remaining gaps along the road to complete a pedestrian corridor from Old Alabama Road to Jones Bridge Road.
Town Center Stream Restoration & Multi-Use Trail
Project Completed: April 2025
The Town Center Stream Restoration & Trail project is now complete, following a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by City Council member Larry DiBiase, City staff, and project contractors.
The project restored more than 1,500 linear feet of eroded streambank and added a multi-use, 10-foot wide ADA-compliant trail connecting McGinnis Ferry Road to The Boardwalk at Town Center, the new park currently under construction adjacent to City Hall.
This addressed severe bank erosion, which contributed to heavy sediment loads to the entire Johns Creek watershed (including neighborhoods downstream of the Town Center area).
The project’s unique features include a combination of stormwater management techniques such as bioswales, regenerative stormwater conveyance structures, vegetated soil lifts, step pools, and other bioengineering practices. These elements not only improve the environmental health of the stream but also reduce pollutants downstream.
