Maps Show City Improvements Since Johns Creek's Founding

Since its founding in 2006, the city of Johns Creek has seen more than 200 improvements to its roads, parks and sidewalks.

Johns Creek's Public Works Director Tom Black presented an overview of these projects to the city council on Monday.

He pointed out Newtown Park projects, including the Beneful Dream Dog Park, the parking lot expansion and a future multipurpose pavilion and new playground equipment installation.

"We've done quite a bit with the park, and will continue to do quite a bit with your support," he said.

Many of the projects were completed with state and federally funded dollars and matching grants. Mayor Mike Bodker commended Black and his staff for getting "a lot done" with limited funds.

Black also presented two interactive maps on the city website illustrating these projects. Residents can click on projects for more information, and zoom in an out. 

The Capital Improvement Projects Map I illustrates sidewalk, trail and landscape improvements, while the Capital Improvement Projects Map II shows road projects.
