Friends,
We can’t believe it’s almost October! Before we close out September, however, we’d like to encourage you to view the presentations and submit comments on the Forsyth Park Draft Master Plan. If you enjoy biking or rolling in and around Forsyth Park, it’s important to have your voice heard. The deadline for comments is this Thursday, Sept. 30 — so let’s keep Forsyth for All!
Great news on the construction front — Police Memorial Trail is open to the public again! Thank you to the City of Savannah for completing this crucial infrastructure link in the Truman Linear Park Trail and Tide To Town network. Click here to view the map and for more information. Stay tuned for a ribbon cutting date!
And on the other side of the county, we had the opportunity to visit the construction site at McQueen’s Island Trail. This trail has been closed for many years due to erosion and degraded trail surfaces from various hurricanes and tropical storms, and we’re excited that the crew has done a great job to repair the seawall and prevent further erosion of the property. Tides and weather permitting, the County hopes to complete construction by the end of November.
We have a ton of great events planned for October, including the return of the Cycle Social! This month we’ll meet on Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 6 p.m. at Lake Mayer to ride the Truman Linear Park Trail and discuss next steps for Tide to Town, our urban trail system. Want to host a Cycle Social in your neighborhood? Send us an email at info@bikewalksavannah.org. Check out all our events and volunteer opportunities on our website.
Happy biking, walking and rolling! Stay tuned for some exciting additional fall events and new plans for 2022.
