====Pedestrians and cycling==== The [[West Gwinnett Bikeway|Western Gwinnett Bikeway]], is a multi-use trail under construction along the [[Georgia State Route 141|Peachtree Industrial Boulevard]]. It is a [[Bike path|shared use path]], [[cycle track]], and [[bike lane]] used to connect Duluth to neighboring Berkeley Lake, Norcross and Suwanee.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ajc.com/news/local/issue-gwinnett-county-ready-for-its-own-beltline/66RxxHBbYmwW1IUmQb2QIO/|title=At Issue: Is Gwinnett County ready for its own BeltLine?|newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution |last1=Huppertz |first1=Karen }}</ref> In January 2018 significant plans were approved for the engineering phase to upgrade State Bridge Road and Pleasant Hill Road.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ajc.com/news/local/johns-creek-oks-engineering-for-state-bridge-widening/8srcBC4En4hDtxt88tTKEP/|title=Johns Creek OKs engineering for State Bridge widening|newspaper=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}}</ref> There is community-wide support from the community in both neighboring Johns Creek and Duluth for the [[Pedestrian separation structure|pedestrian river bridge]] for the project. It will serve to improve bike-pedestrian safety, boost local economies by improving access to businesses, enhance connections with surrounding neighborhoods and improve traffic flow in the area. In addition, the upgrade will serve to ease the inspection and maintenance of the bridge in the future. In March 2018, the Gwinnett County Commissioners approved the agreement with the Johns Creek City Council.<ref>[https://www.ajc.com/news/local/gwinnett-johns-creek-teaming-million-bridge-project/aTJpur6DrLdO98saXMgBQP/] "Gwinnett, Johns Creek teaming up on $1.5 million bridge project" Retrieved on March 20, 2018.</ref><ref>[http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/local/gwinnett-commissioners-approve-agreement-with-johns-creek-for-pedestrian-bridge/article_cb775472-3ed6-54de-9388-4763107a752b.html] "Gwinnett commissioners approve an agreement with Johns Creek for a pedestrian bridge at Chattahoochee." Retrieved on March 20, 2018.</ref> Both sides have agreed to remove the sidewalks from the existing bridges in order to widen the roads. To improve safety for pedestrians, a new pedestrian bridge will be constructed on one side of the river. A [[Subway (underpass)|pedestrian underpass]] linking both sides of the wider road is being considered to further improve access and provide for a safer crossing of the road. The Rogers bridge project is another significant plan that is to connect to [[Johns Creek, Georgia|Johns Creek]] via reconstructing a bike/pedestrian bridge across the Chattahoochee River. The engineers will determine whether to replace or rehabilitate the existing Rogers Bridge over the Chattahoochee River, will take into account the environmental impacts of each option, and will restore the working bike/pedestrian connection between Duluth and Johns Creek. This will allow access to the planned 133-acre parkland under development in Johns Creek and will allow Fulton County residents access to [[Rogers Bridge Park]], the Chattapoochee Dog Park, and the [[Western Gwinnett Bikeway]] currently under development by Gwinnett County.<ref>[http://www.duluthga.net/departments/planning_and_development/current_projects_and_information/docs/WesternGwinnettBikewayOct2017.pdf] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021005117/http://www.duluthga.net/departments/planning_and_development/current_projects_and_information/docs/WesternGwinnettBikewayOct2017.pdf|date=October 21, 2017}} "Rogers Bridge."
