Lower Roswell Road Improvements: Multi-Use Trail Facility and Entrance Improvements, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Gold Branch Unit.

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service, would like to invite the public and interested parties to comment on the recently completed draft Environmental Assessment (EA) entitled Lower Roswell Road Improvements: Multi-Use Trail Facility and Entrance Improvements, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area - Gold Branch Unit. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve conditions for visitor use, experience and safety along the park's Gold Branch Unit, and to expand non-motorized public access and recreational opportunities within the jurisdiction of the CRNRA and Cobb County, Georgia. The EA was prepared to decide whether a Special-Use Permit should be issued to Cobb County, Georgia, for portions of road expansion, multi-use trail construction, and entrance improvements that would occur on NPS property. The EA describes the purpose of and need for the project, alternatives that were considered, existing conditions at the site, and the effects of the alternatives on natural and cultural resources.
