Milton residents now have to fully fund traffic calming measures within their subdivisions after the City Council voted Feb. 6 to end a policy to help share costs.
The move comes over two years after Milton chose not to renew a previous parks agreement between the cities that waived all non-resident fees for Milton residents participating in Alpharetta
MILTON, Ga. â Frequent visitors to Providence Park will likely be disappointed the park is set to close for several weeks, but they are bound to enjoy the new amenities offered once its gate is opened again. The 42-acre park in the southern portion of the city is set to close for two to five weeks while a new trail, pavilion and fishing pier are installed.
The city says it is closing the park during the construction period so work can be done âsafely and efficiently.â
Interim Parks and Recreation Director Tom McKlveen said the city should have a definitive start date for the construction by the end of this month, and the work is expected to begin in June.
MILTON, Ga. â Milton hopes to make the most of its newest active park, the Cox Road Athletic Complex, with plans to upgrade its facilities and expand capacity for recreation programs.
Interim Parks and Recreation Director Tom McKlveen presented the City Council April 12 with the plan, which has received backing from the cityâs Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The council voted to continue fine-tuning the blueprint that will be presented to the board again before renovations move forward.
The proposal calls for replacing grass on the two, large rectangular fields with artificial turf and removing the half-field to pave the way for new tennis courts. The turf fields could either be painted or striped to allow for football, soccer, lacrosse and baseball, and new fencing and netting would be installed.
