Johns Creek Public Works crews have added almost two miles of sidewalks and trails citywide as of August 2013 with another half-mile expected to be completed by year end.
Among the larger projects are a just completed sidewalk on Douglas Road that connects with a similar project in Alpharetta to give residents of both cities new venues for walking and running. A new multi-purpose trail on Findley Road ties Sargent Road in with the Johns Creek Greenway on Medlock Bridge Road.Source: City of Johns Creek
