We the undersigned, residents of properties in close proximity to Buckner Rd., do hereby petition the Cobb County Commission and Cobb County Department of Transportation to install new sidewalks and a bike path on all sections of Buckner Rd.
The installation of sidewalks would significantly increase the safety and quality of life for all communities on Buckner Rd. Residents could safely walk to retailers such as Publix and Walgreens located on Veterans Memorial Hwy. Students and parents could easily walk to school and events at Whitfield Academy and Lindley 6th Grade Academy. Sidewalks and a bike path along Buckner would promote community health via exercise and connect residents with existing county parks and recreation facilities on Oakdale Rd.
New sidewalks and a bike path on Buckner Rd. are critical elements of the RiverLine Master Plan, procured by the Board of Commissioners. The RiverLine plan was completed in 2009 and very few if any pedestrian road improvements outlined in the plan have been implemented.
We sincerely request the Board of Commissioners allocate funds from the proposed 2016 SPLOST or other county funds for these vital improvements on Buckner Rd. Thanks for your leadership and service to the county. We look forward to working with you to improve our community.
Regards,
Julie Holian Carrick & Keylan Mitchell

The lack of progress on the RiverLine Master Plan remains a primary point of discussion during our recent outreach efforts. We are currently compiling the feedback we received from local residents to present directly to the Department of Transportation.

I support sidewalks on Buckner to Veterans Memorial. It is unsafe to walk there now and it is a tragedy waiting to happen.
I wholeheartedly support this initiative. My family and I reside in the Brookmere Subdivision and would like to have sidewalks/bikelanes that would allow us to walk to the grocery. This initiatve is more important than ever to due to the fact that a disabled family member recently moved in with us, she is unable to drive and I do not feel comfortable with her walking to the drugstore under the current circumstances. We are have been residents and taxpayers of Cobb for over 10 years.
Cars fly down this road way to fast. My kids want to ride their bikes but there is no room for them.
Living in Brookmere we really need a way to walk to the grocery store. It doesnt make sense that we are this close but have to drive.
Fix this now.
We need sidewalks on Buckner!
Please provide sidewalks on Buckner.
