However, he said planned improvements to Ga. 9 in the near future, along with completed projects such as the Cogburn-Francis-Hopewell roundabout will help mitigate any problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Crooked Creek Home Owners<\/h2>\n<p>Milton&#8217;s Crooked Creek has approximately 640 homes, and over 6.5 miles of roadway. \u00a0The main road Creek Club Drive is heavily used as a cut through whenever other arterials between Highway 9 and Francis get congested. \u00a0The additional safety of privatization will not come without a price though. \u00a0Home owners HOA dues will be going up by approximately $540\u00a0annually per household to cover maintenance of the roads themselves, construction and maintenance of security gates, and the addition of security guards.<\/p>\n<p>The home owners\u00a0in Crooked Creek approved the installation of gates\u00a0by 67%. \u00a0Of course, not all residents agreed with the move. Some questioned the HOA&#8217;s openness on votes on the issue and accuracy of the information that was shared, while others believed most of the poor driving was actually by Crooked Creek residents themselves, so privatization would be of no significant benefit.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll have an opportunity to change their mind though. \u00a0Should the the home owners have buyers&#8217; remorse, they will be able to come to the city in five years and ask to return to public streets.<\/p>\n<h2>Crooked Creek\u00a0Real Estate Information<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"Crooked Creek Community Information\" href=\"https:\/\/atlantapros.com\/atlanta-golf-country-club-homes\/crooked-creek.html\">Crooked Creek Community Information<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Crooked Creek Homes\" href=\"https:\/\/atlantahomes.atlantapros.com\/idx\/results\/homes-for-sale?idxID=a032&amp;pt=2&amp;idxsrp=4333&amp;ciID=70&amp;city[]=805&amp;city[]=53293&amp;ccz=city&amp;srt=newest&amp;per=10&amp;a_propStatus[]=Active&amp;a_subdComplex[]=CROOKED+CREEK&amp;a_subdComplex[]=CROOKED+CREEK+THE+ENCLAVE\">Crooked Creek Homes for Sale<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After many years, Crooked Creek has been approved by the Milton City Council to take their streets private. \u00a0A study backed up the community&#8217;s contention that there was a significant amount of commuter traffic using Crooked Creek as a pass through between Francis Road and Highway 9. \u00a0The concern was for the safety and comfort of the residents, and through privatization of its roads Crooked Creek can now gate their entrances and eliminate\u00a0commuters speeding and blowing through stop signs, as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Crooked Creek to be Gated - Real Estate Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Milton City Council approved Crooked Creek&#039;s request to privatize their roads October 6, 2014.
