Paths Projects

Paths Projects Overview

Benefits
Paths SPLOSTThe multi-use path system is the signature amenity of Peachtree City and is cherished by our residents. Through the years, Peachtree City has developed a path system network consisting of approximately 97.5 miles of paths, 29 tunnels, and 36 bridges. Peachtree City plans to provide safe transportation alternatives to vehicular traffic while allowing access to major activity centers including schools, parks, commercial centers, shopping, and other public services through our multi-use path network thereby enhancing the quality of life for our residents. Peachtree City wishes to ensure residents a safe and healthy environment in which to live, work, and enjoy leisure time. As an alternate transportation system, residents are provided the opportunity to convert many automobile trips into short, pleasurable trips by “carting” through vegetated greenways to their intended destination. As recreational trails, many residents take advantage of the trails to enjoy cycling, running or simply walking.

Our goal is to strategically locate path resources to maximize access and transportation alternatives across the entire city and path network.

Needs Assessment
The 2017 SPLOST provided increased path construction, adding three additional miles per year. The City wishes to continue that program with the 2023 SPLOST to carry out our goal of paving ten miles per year total (with the three miles of SPLOST funding included). The City is proposing a new tunnel or bridge over/under Hwy 54 to connect McIntosh High School and Booth Middle School. We are also looking to improve the safety of our older corrugate metal tunnels with possible entire replacements or the realigning of approaches. Another safety project includes smoothing transitions at crosswalks throughout the city. Finally, we wish to replace equipment used for work on the path system.
