Highway 316 will be a construction site in Gwinnett for five more years

Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry had a simple suggestion this week for drivers who use State Route 316 to go to Athens: find a different route for the next few years. GDOT has been gradually turning 316 into a limited access highway for more than a decade, but those efforts are kicking into overdrive now with projects stretching from Lawrenceville to Athens either already under construction or about to get underway in the next few years. The highway is expected to be a construction site in Gwinnett for at least five more years. “Alright so we recommend you go up (Interstate) 85 and take (U.S. Highway) 129 because there’s a little bit of construction going on,” McMurry said during a recent presentation to the Gwinnett Chamber. Chamber members may have laughed at McMurry’s advice, but it may actually be a good to head up 85 to Jefferson and then come south to Athens because 316 will be a big construction zone, at least in Gwinnett, through the beginning of the next decade. Currently, 316 is a limited access highway from Interstate 85 to Buford Drive, as well as at Harbins Road and the eastern terminus of Sugarloaf Parkway.

City urges drivers to watch for deer as mating season peaks

MILTON, Ga. — Drivers should keep an eye out for deer darting across roads over the next two weeks as the animals enter the peak of their breeding season. The city of Milton said the peak of the breeding season, known as the rut, runs Nov. 10-23 this year. Bucks chasing does during that stretch tend to pay less attention to their surroundings, including passing traffic.

Welcome Home! U.S. Army soldier surprises brother at Cobb Schools

It's been nine long months since Iris Viveros last saw her family. The former Osborne High School JROTC student and Cobb Horizon class of 2022 graduate has been away at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where she has been serving as a soldier in the U.S. Army. In the Army, Iris serves in the Military Occupational Specialty 12C. This means she works closely with soldiers and engineers to safely navigate across rough terrain. At times, this entails working with explosives to clear pathways and build bridges. "I was so heartbroken when she left," said her brother Neymar, who is a 6th grade student at Pearson Middle School. It's not often that Iris is able to come back home to Cobb County, but an injury to her hip allowed for brief time off, which she used to surprise her three siblings right before Veterans Day. In full uniform, she made her way to Osborne, Bellmont Hills Elementary and Pearson to surprise her two brothers and sister at school. "My heart was racing; I didn't know what was going to happen. I knew they missed me, but I just didn't know how they'd react," said Iris. As she entered the cafeteria, Neymar came

Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”

Cobb advances Mavis Tire shop on Canton Road

By unanimous vote, the Cobb Planning Commission approved an eight-bay Mavis Tire shop at 3595 Canton Road on the southeast corner of the New Chastain Corners shopping center. The 0.92 acre lot is the former site of a Bank of America, which shut down “some time ago” and has not been replaced since, according to Kevin Moore, an attorney representing the applicant. Mavis is proposing to demolish the existing building and build a 6,925-square-foot auto shop. The shop would perform light automotive work such as changing tires, brake changes, oil changes and battery checks, among other things, according to the company website. According to its application, Mavis’ proposed business hours would be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday (except for closing at 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays), 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. Moore said Mavis is proposing a solution to a site that “doesn’t need to remain a dark, vacant building. “(Mavis does) a great job at what they do and do it in a clean fashion and certainly understand the rules and regulations … that Cobb County has,” Moore said. “That’s the worst thing to have (in) your neighborhood

GCPS: No money for Gwinnett teacher retention bonuses this year

Gwinnett County teachers are not getting retention bonuses that educators had anticipated since the county’s school board adopted its budget earlier this year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools officials say its because there was no state funding to support it. Teachers learned the one-time $2,000 bonuses were not coming via an email that was sent out Monday night. Within a couple of hours, screen shots of the email, which appeared to have also been accidentally sent to parents through ParentVue, were circulating on social media. “The supplement was contingent on funding from the state of Georgia,” district officials sad in the message. “That funding was not included in the approved state budget, and GCPS does not have funding available in its current budget to provide the supplement independently. “We recognize this news may be disappointing. We value the dedication of our teachers and staff and understand the importance of compensation in attracting and retaining the talented professionals who serve our students every day.” The retention bonuses were among the features touted as benefits of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2027 budget, which went into affect over the summer. The district also gave employees step increases on the salary scale
