STORY 2: State officials will install median on Duluth Highway near Northside Gwinnett

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has awarded a $5.9 million construction contract to Summit Construction and Development LLC to install a median on a portion of Duluth Highway near Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville. This project will affect 0.5 miles of the highway, replacing the existing two-way left turn lane with a raised median. Left turns will only be possible at specific intersections, aiming to reduce crash frequency and severity. While it's unclear when construction will start or when the project will be completed, this change will impact drivers' ability to make left turns in the affected area, necessitating U-turns or alternative routes for access to businesses. Sidewalks and curb/gutter improvements are also planned.

STORY 3: Gwinnett police looking for suspect in theft at Peachtree Corners Targe

Gwinnett County police are searching for a woman accused of stealing three Epson computer printers and children's clothing from a Target store in Peachtree Corners on August 31. The suspect allegedly placed the stolen items in a cart and left the store without paying. She is described as a slim-built Black woman wearing a white hooded jacket, white pants, and white shoes. Police have released a surveillance image and are seeking assistance in identifying her. Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a possible cash reward.

STORY 4: Georgia Gwinnett College students study changes in local fish community

Students at Georgia Gwinnett College, under Dr. Peter Sakaris' guidance, are studying local fish communities and their responses to environmental changes in the watershed. They've been conducting long-term monitoring since 2016 and have found significant declines in fish diversity due to habitat degradation. This hands-on teaching approach involves standardized fish sampling, habitat assessment, fish identification, diversity index calculations, and statistical analysis, offering students valuable field experience.
