Chamblee outlines $30M bond‑funded projects, rail trail and park bond priorities
Summary
Staff said a $30 million bond and special-revenue increases will fund rail trail extensions, downtown green space design, Dresden Trail phases, police/maintenance personnel, and park bond projects including Huntley Hills Park and Keswick master plan implementation.
Budget staff told the council special revenues would rise substantially this year, in part because of a $30,000,000 bond issued earlier. Kryskis highlighted $1,200,000 identified for Rail Trail extension segments 7 through 12 (funded by a TIP grant and local transfers), and a variety of SSD and SPLOST projects for downtown green space design, trail construction and street-diet improvements.
Kryskis listed park bond allocations described as "heavy hitters" for Huntley Hills Park, Nancy Creek West and Savoy Trails, Wood Acres/South Chamblee Park, and implementation of the Keswick Park master plan. She also noted funding for design/engineering in the downtown SSD and continued personnel funding for maintenance and police, plus flock cameras on the rail trail.
No formal action was taken at the hearing; these project allocations were presented for council review and continued public input during the hearing cycle.
