Site Plans and Upcoming Features

Our site is constantly evolving. We’re striving to make this the best site to get information about the Big Creek Greenway in Forsyth and Fulton Counties. To further this effort, we wanted to ask our users what they would like to see on the site, and also give an idea of the features and content currently being developed.

Currently in development:

  • Current Conditions – This page will give information on the current condition of the Greenway trail in 2 sections, Forsyth and Alpharetta.  In addition to the current weather and creek level it will give the status of that segment of the trail.  This will come in handy given the amount of rain we have seen recently.
  • Community Forums – The forums will give a place for our users to talk about the Greenway, plan events, and give feedback about the site.

Ideas not yet in development:

  • Flickr Photo Pool – A photo pool on Flickr would allow you to share your pictures of the Greenway on the site.  We would feature a photo each day or week on the site.

Are there any other features you would like to see on the site?  Anything that you would like to see incorporated into the features listed above?  We’d love to get some feedback so that the site can keep moving in the right direction.  Leave a comment below, or send us an e-mail with your suggestions!

  • There are lots of websites for creating custom running and biking routes. Many of these sites work with Google Maps, but there isn't an easy way to create a route that uses the Big Creek Greenway because the satellite images were taken prior to this project. What would be nice is to have a custom route on Google Maps that follows the completed phases. At least it would be easier than trying to guess the path and distances. An easy way to do this would be to create a file (in Google Earth) that could be uploaded to Google Maps (filetype: .kml or .kmz).
