News DeKalb PATH trail to resume construction

Rather ominous screenshot, pasted below, from the Three Forks Heritage Alliance's Web site. The organization is a neighborhood activist group that opposes the joint PATH Foundation/DeKalb County multi-use trail that is planned to connect Medlock and Mason Mill Parks.
In mid-March, the alliance successfully blocked preliminary construction on the trail. Critics of the concept -- which originated under former County Commissioner Gale Walldorff -- say the trail will mar the old-growth forest between the parks, fail to connect surrounding areas, and has a price tag that has risen from $750,000 to more than $1.6 million.
