Feedback Needed on New Trail Design

The city of Marietta has been awarded federal grant funds to construct a pedestrian/bicycle trail, and citizen input is being sought for the project's design.

A design workshop will take place Aug. 30 from 4-6 p.m. in the City Council chamber located on the lobby level of City Hall, 205 Lawrence St.

Part of trail network

The proposed work will link to a future multi-use trail along Powder Springs Street, improve Brown Park and link to the Kennesaw Mountain to Chattahoochee River (KMCR) trail. The KMCR trail will include a bridge over South Marietta Parkway, will connect downtown Marietta with Brown Park, and connect to Smyrna's trail system and the Silver Comet trail.
