Tucker City Engineer Ken Hildebrant presented an update on the city’s plan to continue work on its trails, sidewalks and bike lanes during the city council’s Feb. 26 meeting.

All told, the city is considering $27 million worth of trails, paths and greenways, totaling 32 miles. The trails would take about five to six years to complete and would connect downtown Tucker with the Stone Mountain trail and park. There would be multiple access points throughout the trail network.

A spokesperson for the city said the city hasn’t identified funding for the trails yet and the presentation was so the council could set priorities entering into the budget season.
