The City of Brookhaven has begun work on a bicycle and pedestrian trail plan. There will be a public meeting 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. May 19 at the Lynwood Park Community Center, 3360 Osborne Road. This will be the first of three meetings throughout the planning effort.

Brookhaven residents are encouraged to attend and particpate in the planned project. The meeting will help develop a vision for a trail network to be enjoyed by residents and visitors to the city. The project is scheduled to conclude in early 2016.

Initial analysis of existing conditions, a determination of future needs, and an implementation plan to guide the city in future decision making are all issues to be discussed.
