City staff says Chattahoochee Greenway segment will be built on National Recreation Area property; NPS coordination needed
Summary
The committee heard that the city’s Chattahoochee Greenway phase (Abbotts Bridge Road to Cawley Creek Park) is about a mile long and lies on National Recreation Area land, requiring coordination with the National Park Service before design work proceeds.
Parks staff described the current Chattahoochee Greenway segment as part of a larger Riverlands Greenway vision running from Buford Dam to Chattahoochee Bend State Park. The committee heard the city’s phase — from Abbotts Bridge Road to Cawley Creek Park — is just over a mile and includes work on National Recreation Area property, which obliges coordination with the National Park Service.
A committee member recommended inviting a National Park Service representative to present to the committee so members can understand federal property implications and permissions. Staff said they will try to schedule a guest from NPS given the agency’s role in permitting and oversight for trails built on its land.
