Here are the top three stories today in Johns Creek:

1. Tomorrow, Nov. 12, head to Johns Creek Methodist Church for the Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra's season-opening concert, "A Veterans Day Salute," featuring Technical Sergeant Stacey Holliday. Holliday is an alto vocalist with the United States Air Force Band's Singing Sergeants. The Rotary Club of Johns Creek is sponsoring this event. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. (Patch)
2. Johns Creek is adding new guidance to the city's traffic and vehicle ordinance for Personal Transportation Vehicles (PTVs). The goal of this new strategy is to complement the city's sidewalk policy, which focuses on bicycling and PTVs such as golf carts. The regulations allow for the operation of PTVs on public streets with speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less. Learn more about the ordinance at the link.

3. Even though the housing market is cooling down across the country, there are still some great houses up for sale in the Johns Creek area. Check out five new properties around Johns Creek, including a unique three-bed, three-bath home at 1902 Brookhavenrun Circle in Duluth. (Johns Creek Patch)
