Autaco Development LLC is creating a sidewalk from Rockdale Circle to Odum Street in Snellville. Depending on weather conditions, the project, a joint effort between the city and Gwinnett using SPLOST funds, will be completed next month.

According to city officials, the sidewalks will help to keep students walking to and from South Gwinnett High School safer.

The area around the high school has been a focus of sidewalk and intersection improvements in the city in recent years, including at Wisteria Drive and Highway 78 and Skyland Drive. Other sidewalk improvements have been made at Oak Road and Highway 78 and on North Road.

The city is also working to make pedestrian and bicycle travel safer through its recently approved Greenway Master Plan: www.snellville.org/greenway-master-plan-gets-approval-by-council.

The public may email comments on future sidewalk projects to Brian Arrington at barrington@snellville.org.
