On July 8, 2021, US House Rep. Lucy McBath had a chance to experience first-hand, the progress of the first mile of the Peachtree Creek Greenway.
Organized by the the advocacy group Peachtree Creek Greenway, Inc, the walking tour gave District 1 leaders the opportunity to pitch the importance of expanding the trail and how its connectivity to neighborhoods and ultimately, the Atlanta Beltline benefits the region.
Rep. McBath shared her views on the importance of trails, especially in the midst of the “new normal.” She indicated that people are realizing what is really important–the small things such as taking walks and exercising and how people are getting back to family and nature.
