Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. Soon, there will be new brick walls around Alpharetta's town green to improve safety for citizens. The walls will be along the sidewalk of Highway 9 where it is adjacent to the green. The project is scheduled to be completed before September 29, in time for the Wire and Wood Festival. The city received three bids, and selected contractor Tri Scapes, who quoted the best price, which is $206,584. (Appen)
2. Is your child interested in playing Alpharetta Youth Baseball this fall? Registration is open now and there are leagues for T-ball through 19u. Coaches are needed as well; AYBA is a volunteer association. (Alpharetta Youth Baseball Association via Facebook)
3. Alpharetta's Fulton Science Academy, which is a private school, is getting four new tennis courts, concessions stand, additional driveway/ parking, field house and soccer field. The plans were approved by the Alpharetta Planning Commission after resolving concerns from the nearby Westwood Park subdivision. The concerns included additional traffic, lighting and public notification. This school has students from pre-K to twelth grade. (Alpharetta-Roswell Herald)
