In the final week of the 2023 fiscal year, Alpharetta officials approved some $150,000 to improve stormwater management at the site of the historic Log Cabin on Milton Avenue.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. â Even with no funding to lift the first shovel, residents along Marjean Way let Alpharetta city leaders know Monday they oppose any plan to connect their street north to a major travel corridor.
About a half-dozen residents peppered the City Council Monday with visions of the sort of hell it would create if Marjean Way is extended north to Milton Avenue, a major east-west roadway. Currently, Marjean Way ends at Orchid Lane and is accessed on the south from Marietta Street, which connects to the heavily traveled Old Milton Parkway.
Marjean Way resident Cary Siegel said he doesnât understand the pressing need for the extension when there are already two nearby streets that connect Old Milton Parkway north to Milton Avenue. Adding another connector through the residential Marjean Way doesnât seem to make sense, he said.
ALPHARETTA, Ga. â City leaders got an updated roster of street and parks projects in line for funding if voters approve special taxes this fall.
The City Council heard a report on the latest cost estimates for street upgrades that would be funded if voters pass a five-year extension to the current county-wide transportation sales tax, or TSPLOST. If approved on the November ballot, the .75-cent sales tax would bring in an estimated $59 million to Alpharetta, all targeted for local street and pedestrian improvements.
Right now, city leaders have listed some 13 top-tier projects totaling $50 million for funding.
Among the most expensive would be $10 million for Webb Bridge Road widening and improvements from Morris Road to the Greenway. Another $10 million is targeted for the North Point Parkway Corridor, although that would not fund all the city has planned for the area.
