Dunwoody Councilman John Heneghan questions Path Foundation regarding 12 foot concrete "greenways" in Dunwoody neighborhoods. August 8, 2022 @PATHFoundation

The August 8th Dunwoody City Council Meeting lasted over 6 hours, starting at 5:30 and ending near 11:30 pm and that was only after we deferred a number of item to the next meeting, therefore let me highlight several issues that were discussed last Monday as I believe they are important. This item is the thought that we need 12 foot paths crisscrossing our city and how that might not be a win / win situation situation for everyone involved.

Path Foundation's mission is to plan and build a network of connected greenway trails throughout Georgia for the purpose of commuting and recreating. The City of Dunwoody is aspiring to place 12 ft multi-use paths across the city and in this discussion I questioned Greta deMayo on how these greenways will be squeezed in where there may not be much greenery or beauty. 

The meeting with the Path Foundation left me with more questions than answers as to what is appropriate infrastructure in front of single family homes and how will these paths be shaded and beautiful?  The video below is just 11 mins and it really just gives you a small flavor of the 6 hour council meeting.

The Dunwoody Reporter also wrote a nice article on this matter that is worth reading.
