GATLINBURG - Citizen and business community participation and input are encouraged when the City of Gatlinburg hosts its second public workshop to discuss the next stages of development of the community’s Greenways Trail System master plan.

Gatlinburg staff and representatives of Barge, Wagonner, Sumner and Cannon, Inc., will conduct the workshop on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, at 5 p.m. in City Commission chambers at City Hall.

City and BWSCI officials will address the following aspects of the plan developed since the November informational workshop, which drew nearly 50 community members for a review of an initial inventory and analysis of the potential for greenways trail implementation within Gatlinburg:

• Look at construction costs
• Present preliminary phasing recommendations
• Provide examples of signage and construction
• Review refinement of trail routes presented at first workshop meeting.

      Maps will again be available for study during and after the presentation indicating general corridors where greenway development could be possible, supplemented by smaller maps.

      For more information, call Recreation Director Marty Nicely at 436-4990.
