FORSYTHCOUNTY, Georgia – The Forsyth County Department of Engineering will hold two public information meetings to allow for discussion and public input on the county’s Bicycle Transportation and Pedestrian Walkways 2025 Plan Update.

Meetings will be held on Monday, August 24, at the Hampton Park Library and Tuesday, August 25, at the Post Road Library. Both meetings will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. No formal presentations will be made during the meetings and the public is invited to attend at any time during the meeting hours. The meetings will provide an overview on the county’s bicycle transportation and pedestrian walkways needs assessment through displays and the opportunity to speak with consultant representatives and county staff.

“We know there is a great deal of interest among our citizens about the future plans for alternative means of transportation like biking and walking,” Director of Engineering John Cunard said. “We welcome and encourage all interested residents to attend these meetings and offer their input.”

The county’s Bicycle Transportation and Pedestrian Walkways 2025 Plan was adopted in 2002 to foster the development of an interconnected network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities that meets Forsyth County’s future transportation mobility, serves recreation needs, promotes alternative means of transportation, and enhances the county’s overall quality of life. The plan was last updated in 2008.

Hampton Park Library is located at 5345 Settingdown Road and Post Road Library is located at 5010 Post Road in Cumming.
