Council to pursue USPS change so databases display 'Johns Creek'
Summary
Mayor Bradbury asked the council to request a USPS override so address databases show 'Johns Creek' (instead of neighboring jurisdictions) for in-city ZIP+4 entries. Council supported pursuing the practical option and thanked federal offices that helped advance the effort.
Mayor Bradbury introduced the USPS ZIP-code boundary review and recommended asking the Postal Service to set city-preferred display names so residents see "Johns Creek" rather than neighboring city names in address databases. Bradbury said staff could request a hard override of the relevant ZIP+4 records so mapping and mailing databases display Johns Creek.
Council members voiced support and described the change as a practical correction for residents who see other city names when looking up addresses. One council member thanked Representative Rich McCormick's office and said the idea originally came through Senator Ossoff's staff. The council did not record a formal vote but agreed to inform the Postal Service of the city's preference and to pursue the first feasible option described in the staff memo.
