Some early work is beginning on some key Gainesville roads projects, as part of a city transportation master plan completed nearly two years ago. Particularly, city officials still are planning turn lane work on Ga. 369/Jesse Jewell Parkway/Browns Bridge Road, fixes at Jesse Jewell and Queen City and John Morrow parkways, and a study of what lies underneath Green Street’s driving surface. “We’ve got some grant money, and we’re just trying to put our money where our mouth is,” Gainesville Mayor Danny Dunagan said.
