Multi-Use Trail Coming to Norcross
The Gwinnett Village CID gave the go-ahead on the walking and biking trail on Beaver Ruin Road at their monthly meeting Thursday, but because the project is using federal funding, it could be three to five years until construction starts.
The Gwinnett Village CID approved to move forward with a multi-use trail on Beaver Ruin Road during its April board meeting Thursday.
The new pathway would cater to pedestrians and bicyclists from Buford Highway to Indian Trail Road in the city of Norcross, and would look similar to the multi-use trail on Peachtree Parkway in Peachtree Corners.
"It [will be] a really big, big sidewalk where people can get around," said John McHenry, program director for the community improvement district. "For us, it's great, because people commute and walk there, but then we can also encourage the recreation."

Biking to Summerour Middle nearby was actually one of the main focuses of the trail. The project was part of the Safe Routes to School plan, which was led by a local citizen group that aims to get students commuting to school by foot or bike.
