On Thursday, August 1, 2019 at Calvary Baptist Temple – Oasis Building (4625 Waters Avenue, Savannah, GA 31404) the City of Savannah will hold a Public Information Open House concerning the Truman Linear Park Trail Phase IIB (Bee Road to Derenne Ave.)
Truman Linear Park Trail will provide a separate, recreational pedestrian and bicycle facility that expands and enhances the non–motorized transportation network; improves non–motorized connections and access to key destinations, such as schools, parks, neighborhoods, etc.; and improves safety for all non–motorized users. Truman Linear Park Trail Phase IIB is approximately 1.9 miles long and begins at Jenkins High School, tying to Phase IIA, and ends at the intersection of 52nd Street and Bee Road, tying to Phase I (Police Memorial Trail). The proposed typical section would consist of a 10–foot wide, ADA accessible, shared–use, concrete trail, with 10–foot wide timber bridge crossings at ditches, and a 10–foot wide pre–fabricated bridge crossing the Old Casey Canal. When fully constructed the trail will provide almost 9 miles of contiguous recreation trail, including the loop trails at Lake Mayer and Daffin Park, and will link 827 acres of existing City and County parks.
The Open House will be held from 4-7 p.m., and provide the public with an opportunity to view the project, ask questions, and comment on the project.
The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be arranged with advance notice by calling Nick Deffley, City of Savannah Directory of Sustainability at (912) 651–6909. The meeting site is also accessible via CAT routes 27 & 28, and by taking the Habersham St. bike lane to 63rd St.
