• After the Suwanee Police Department experimented with the Segway last fall, they decided to move forward to add a three-wheeled personal-transportation vehicle to its fleet of "vehicles". Initially testing the Segway, which tops out at a speed of 12 miles per hour, the Suwanee Police Department settled on the Sentinel which can travel further on a charge and travel faster than the Segway.

• The City of Suwanee will be adding five (5) digital radar signs to bring awareness to drivers of their speed. One has already been installed, but not yet up and running, on McGinnis Ferry Road heading westbound near the Suwanee Creek Park.  These radar signs will NOT take photos nor be used to issue citations - simply an effort to slow drivers down. Upcoming locations include: Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, McGinnis Ferry Road, Smithtown Road, Main Street and Settles Bridge Road. Road selection was determined by traffic studies.

• White Street Park which is home to Harvest Gardens has now opened its half mile trail. The trail runs along Suwanee Creek, trees and perimeter pasture of Harvest Gardens; just another addition to "going Green" in Suwanee. 

• DOT is doing work near Exit 111. While Exit 111 (the Gateway to the City of Suwanee) is not directly involved, the work may impact interstate traffic flow in our area. Work being completed:  

1.      Coverting 16 miles of HOV (High Occupanyc Vehicle) lanes to HOT lanes (High Occupancy Toll) from Old Peachtree Road (Ex 109) to Chamblee-Tucker Road. The conversion is expected to be completed by next summer. 

2.      Construction underway on a bridge crossing I-85 which will consist of 2.67 miles of four lane divided highway from the corner of McGinnis Ferry Road to Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.
