Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. The City of Alpharetta has made plans to significantly improve sections of Webb Bridge Road. This $14 million project will focus on the sections between Webb Bridge Park to Maid Marion Close and Big Creek Greenway to just east of North Point Parkway. The width of the travel lanes will be narrowed, with a lower speed limit. In addition, there will be a new roundabout at the intersection of Webb Bridge Road and Webb Bridge Way, plus a new sidewalk and pedestrian lighting. This project will take approximately 18 months to complete. (City of Alpharetta)
2. Are you looking for a new job? The City of Roswell has over 15 open positions in different departments.

( The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
3. Two rappers were killed in an Atlanta nightclub in 2017, and a jury has awarded their families a total of $160 million. Ewell “Wells” Ynoa, 21, and Giovanni “Geo” Diaz, 22, were performing at Masquerade in underground Atlanta when they were gunned down by Jonathan Bautista during an argument. Their families sued the club and Sony Music Holdings because the club didn't have enough security to prevent the shooting. Bautista is now in prison serving a 40 year sentence. (WSB Atlanta)
4. A woman in nearby Canton has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a toddler. The body of a female toddler was found at the home of Phillissa Diallo on Hearthstone Landing Drive. She was also charged the death of another person and second-degree cruelty to children. She has been booked into the Cherokee County Detention Center. The police are investigating this crime; if you have any information, please contact the Canton Police Department at 770-720-4883.
