West Point Recreational Trails Program (RTP) Grant Application

Posted on 04/25/2024

The public is invited to review and provide input on the Woodyard Trail Park through in-person or electronic comments. A Public Input Session will be held Thursday, May 9^th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm in the Downtown River Park. A 14 day comment period will be open from April 29, 2024 through May 13, 2024.

This project is proposed for downtown West Point adjacent to the Chattahoochee River, originating from the existing 0.2 mile loop trail and boat launch site. This project would create a half-mile riverwalk by connecting the existing 0.2 mile loop trail to a 0.3 mile concrete trail. The final goal is to also connect to a proposed trail originating from the neighboring City of Lanett that is an amenity to both neighboring cities. This concrete trail will be designed to meet accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act and will include three wildlife viewing platforms outside of the pedestrian area for observation and rest. This project will also install signs along the water trail to help users locate nearby boat ramps and see distances between connection points. The goal of this project is to give residents and visitors of all ages and abilities an opportunity to enjoy the Chattahoochee River by land or water through walking, biking, rolling, or boating.

The Public Input Session on Thursday, May 9th will be held drop-in style from 4:00 to 6:00 pm; attendees can come on their own schedule and do not need to stay the entire time. Participants will have opportunities to talk to project staff, view design and site information, and share their comments.

Overview

Boards Authorities and Commissions are an established feature of municipal government which offers citizens an extraordinary opportunity to participate in a city’s government affairs. Their activities have helped to shape or influence public policy in many areas. The City of West Point has boards, authorities and commissions that endeavor to reflect the varied interests of West Point citizenry. Several of the City’s boards and commissions are required and established by state law, while others result from provisions of the City Charter or form local ordinances. They address such subjects as planning, zoning, development and parks and recreation. Although many boards, authorities and commissions are advisory, their influence and value can be significant. They make recommendations on a wide range of topics that come before the City Council. Several boards and commissions are quasi-judicial, which means the Council has delegated some portion of its legislative authority to a citizen board.

How to apply

Applications are available on the city website and at City Hall. The application contains a list of the various boards and details the application process.
