The City’s Open Space Plan will aim to improve public access to, increase use and stewardship of, and improve connectivity between open space assets city-wide. The Plan will support the Master Plan goal of managing existing and acquiring additional open spaces for passive recreation and environmental preservation. The first public meetings will be held in June.

To celebrate Bike Month, Mayor Jack Blalock will lead a bicycle ride beginning at City Hall at noon on Wednesday, May 8th. The public is encouraged to join him, City officials and staff for a bicycle tour of recent and planned bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
