Article: Trails Would Connect Entire County under Greenways and Trails Master Plan

Author: me (Larry Felton Johnson)

Publication: Cobb County Courier

First lines: "The draft of Cobb County’s Greenways and Trails Master Plan was displayed in an open house at the Cobb Civic Center Tuesday evening. Consultants from the engineering firm Gresham Smith and Partners, along with Eric Meyer of the Cobb County Department of Transportation, were on hand to answer questions about the plan. Maps were lined against the walls of the room."

The article summarizes the top eight priority projects in the plan. I'm impressed with the work the Cobb DOT and the consultants did on the project, and also the fact that much of the project is already underway, with the help of the Cobb DOT, the ARC, the various CIDs (Cumberland, Town Center), and the six cities in Cobb. There are links in the article to all the documents and maps, so if you're really into trail and greenway planning, there's enough on the project site to geek out for days.
Nice! Link to trails here: http://www.cobbtrailplan.com/wp-cont..._March2018.pdf

As much as I prefer to see Intown development, trails could and should be built everywhere. Reminds me of getting around in New Jersey, actually. Lots of trails connecting towns around Princeton.
