The April meeting of the Roundtable is at noon, Thursday, April 18th, at the Capital City Club downtown.
Our speaker is Ed McBrayer, the irrepressible Executive Director and co-founder of the PATH Foundation. Established in 1991, the foundation has built over 285 miles of trails for walkers, runners, skaters and cyclists in the Atlanta area. The PATH trails are transformative, making Atlanta greener, more pedestrian-friendly and a more livable city. The foundation is one of the key partners of the popular Atlanta Beltline.
Ed will tell us about the history and overall mission of PATH, acquaint us with existing PATH trails, and reveal plans for exciting new connections that will make Atlanta the most trail-connected city in the U.S.
