Projects are selected based on their conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, and on a matrix that includes safety, connectivity and proximity to schools, parks and activity centers, pedestrian use, whether it closes gaps, and cost. The City’s plans for future trail and sidewalk development are summarized in the Future Sidewalk & Trail Network, which depicts proposed multi-use trails and sidewalks. Showing locations and alignment, the map serves as the basis for construction of all future trails and sidewalks. The map was developed as part of the Comprehensive Plan and is included in the newly revised plan, adopted 2017.

community

he City of Johns Creek is continually expanding its trail and sidewalks system, filling in gaps, adding new walkways and improving its existing network to give fitness-conscious users a wider range to roam and nicer environment to do it. Developing more multi-use trails and sidewalks will help Johns Creek become a pedestrian-friendly community that links parks, schools, employment centers, neighborhoods and shopping. While developing the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the residents of Johns Creek expressed an overwhelming interest in sidewalks and trails for pedestrians and bicyclists. A priority has been placed on filling in gaps, especially along major roadways and within a halfmile of schools, libraries, and parks, including the Chattahoochee River public use areas. The City also is pursuing sidewalks and trails along major roads, and connecting with networks of neighboring cities and counties.
