SUWANEE - The City of Suwanee recently completed two projects associated with its four-mile Suwanee Creek Greenway. A new pedestrian "connector," linking the Town Center area, via Portland Trail Drive, to the Greenway is now open as is a nearly one-mile soft surface trail at Suwanee Creek Park.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new connector is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14. The public is invited.
The centerpiece of the concrete and boardwalk connector is a 160-foot bridge that spans Suwanee Creek, running parallel to Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.
"Connectivity has always been an important theme and focus of significant efforts for the City of Suwanee," says City Manager Marty Allen. "We're pleased to provide this pedestrian link between two of Suwanee's most popular destinations."
At the Suwanee Creek Greenway trailhead at Suwanee Creek Park, the new soft surface trail provides previously inaccessible views of the woods, wetlands, and creek within the interior of the park. The trail can be accessed near the concrete "shortcut" at the back parking lot at Suwanee Creek Park, 1170 Buford Highway, as well as via the paved loop behind the Alder Pavilion. Signs will soon be posted to indicate access points.
The trail, which includes a bridge over the creek that runs parallel to the vehicular bridge, also connects to the restroom facilities and the new outdoor classroom, recently completed by Eagle Scout candidate Will Lippman.
