This study documents the broad array of feedback the team received during a 20-month community engagement process that helped define the high-level vision of the Chattahoochee RiverLands.
Guided by an aspirational vision, four goal statements, and strategies developed through stakeholder visioning, collaborative input, and community co-design sessions, the Project Team arrived at a flexible and adaptable Preferred Alignment.

The Design Team concluded the existing conditions inventory with a series of takeaways and a living document of ongoing initiatives. The vision for the Riverlands builds on this existing conditions analysis and represents the beginning of a longer process to develop a plan for the greenway.
These documents are part of the 2020 Chattahoochee RiverLands Study, a comprehensive planning effort that established a shared vision for a connected network of parks, trails, and river experiences along the Chattahoochee River. Developed through a collaborative process with community members, stakeholders, and river stewards, the study includes existing conditions analysis, alignment recommendations, design guidelines, and the final report.

Chattahoochee RiverLands Pedestrian Trail Bridge
The City of Smyrna and Trust for Public Land are exploring a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Chattahoochee River. This bridge could improve connections between existing and planned trail systems in Smyrna and Atlanta while creating new opportunities for recreation, mobility, and access to the river. Share your input on project priorities, potential uses, and how this connection could serve the community.
