The Sandy Springs City Council has awarded a $157,247 contract to construct a new trail, one mile long, from Crooked Creek Park to the Chattahoochee River.
Steele & Associates Inc. submitted the lowest of six bids for the Crooked Creek Park Trail project, Recreation and Parks Director Michael K. Perry said in a report to the council.
The natural-surface foot path will run along its namesake stream from a trailhead at Crooked Creek Park, 3100 River Exchange Drive, to the Holcomb Bridge Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The project is at the easternmost end of Sandy Springs, south of the river and west of Holcomb Bridge Road.
“The project will provide controlled public access to the 33-acre undisturbed forestland unit,” Perry said. “As a pedestrian-only trail, this amenity will provide the public a fitness feature in a natural setting.”
Plans call for a seven-car parking lot, minimal selective tree removal and trimming, and a small wooden bridge.
