Resident urges Peachtree Corners to add measured, flat walking trails for seniors
Summary
A resident, William Monet, asked the council to consider establishing pre-measured, flat walking or running trails (similar to Suwanee's Cawley Creek Trail) at local parks so seniors and people with limited mobility can exercise in safe, off-road settings.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident William Monet of Wickershire Way described Suwanee's Cawley Creek Park trail and suggested Peachtree Corners add comparable measured walking loops at Picnicheville Park and at a second site. Monet said flat, off-road routes with posted distance markers would help older residents and others who need level walking surfaces.
Monet described his own habit of walking early at Pickneyville Middle School because it is flat and feels safe and asked that the city consider two sites with marked distances so users could choose shorter or longer loops.
