The proposed project consists of additions to the existing Ocmulgee Heritage Trail (OHT). The trail route is to go on obtained easement of private right-of-way through a site referred to as the "Old Bibb Mill" and link from existing sidewalk at Coliseum Drive to Clinton Street, where it will extend on public right-of-way to the boundaries of the Ocmulgee National Monument (see attached location map, labeled Figure 1). A parking area for about 25 cars is proposed as trail head parking on property to be obtained by Ocmulgee Heritage Trail, LLC. The proposed trail will have street trees and lighting setback 8 feet from the 25 MPH street. The main trail materials will be concrete with special brick areas and will match the detail of the existing OHT. Benches and lighting to match OHT standard are proposed. All disturbed ground will be vegetated with drought tolerant grass and ornamental plant species.
