CITY OF MARIETTA
Georgia Department of Natural Resources Recreational Trails Program APPLICATION for the East Dixie Avenue Trail Project
The City of Marietta has been invited to submit a second-round application to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Recreational Trails Program for grant funding to construct a multi-use trail along East Dixie Avenue. City staff will be holding a public meeting regarding the trail project and application on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 6:00PM, in the Transportation Conference Room located at 268 Lawrence Street NE, Marietta, Georgia 30060. The purpose of this meeting is to brief the community on the project and grant application, as well as to provide an opportunity to receive feedback.
The trail project will consist of constructing an 8-foot-wide multi-use trail with a 2-foot grass strip within the existing public right-of-way along East Dixie Avenue from Atlanta Street to Manget Street. This trail will tie into the recently completed trail on Manget Street, ultimately linking the north-south Mountain to River trail system with the east-west system of Rottenwood Creek Trail. Construction on this segment is scheduled to begin in 2025.
For questions regarding the public meeting or to provide comments on the project, please contact Courtney Verdier, Planning and Development Specialist, at (770) 794-5717 or by email at [email protected].
