Forsyth County Website - Big Creek Greenway Restroom Bid

Forsyth County has opened up bidding for contractors on building restrooms and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant parking spaces at the Forsyth County Big Creek Greenway Trailheads. It is not clear from the bidding site which parking lots will include these amenities, but most likely the McFarland and Bethelview Parkway parking lots will be included with this.

There are not currently any dates listed on when the project would start or be completed. We will keep you up to date when we find out more details.

Alpharetta Big Creek Greenway Extension Plans

Webb Bridge to Marconi Drive Map

While searching for new information on the Big Creek Greenway extensions, I came across this site that contains drafts of a plan to extend the Alpharetta section of the greenway from Webb Bridge Road to Marconi Drive.

The most interesting drawing I could find was this one that actually shows the path the trail would take (pdf). I’m not sure if LDI-Line Construction has been selected for this segment, or if these are plans drawn up for a bid on the construction.

Whether or not LDI-Line has received the project, it is always nice to see plans on paper that move the Alpharetta and Forsyth sections of the trail closer to connecting.

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!
