Alpharetta Council approves updated North Fulton transportation plan and Cox Road roundabout project

The City of Milton City Council convened on July 7, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, culminating in unanimous approvals for multiple projects aimed at enhancing local infrastructure and community development.

One of the primary discussions centered around a memorandum of agreement (MOA) involving the cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, and Sandy Springs. This agreement aims to update the North Fulton Comprehensive Transportation Plan, which was last revised in 2018. Deputy Director of Public Works, Rob Del Ross, highlighted the importance of this update, noting that it is essential for securing available funds for regional transportation projects. The council approved the MOA unanimously, with Johns Creek having already approved its portion and other cities expected to follow suit.

Another significant item on the agenda was the approval of a blanket right-of-way acquisition for the Cox Road at King Road roundabout project. Del Ross explained that this project is in its next phase, requiring the acquisition of four parcels in Milton and one in Roswell. The estimated budget for this acquisition is $102,100, which was also approved unanimously by the council. This roundabout aims to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersection, which has been a long-standing request from residents.

Additionally, the council reviewed a final plat revision for the Heatherton development on Mayfield Road. This revision addresses logistical issues related to deliveries for homes that currently lack direct access from Mayfield Road. The council approved the revision, ensuring that homes will have proper addresses and access points, thereby facilitating smoother delivery services.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to improving transportation infrastructure and community development in Milton, with all discussed items receiving unanimous support from council members. The next steps will involve the implementation of these projects, which are anticipated to enhance the quality of life for residents in the area.
