An outline of the agenda is below:
10 minutes: Overview of CGG, including new board structure for the statewide organization.
15 minutes: Review of SNF-WOW, a tour undertaken by coastal Georgia leaders through northeast Florida to learn about strategies for building coalitions for building trails, and organizing for a repeat next year.
15 minutes: Information and goal-setting for the national meeting of the East Coast Greenway Alliance happening here in Savannah November 7-8, 2009.
15 minutes for Savannah to Tybee: Where are we now, and what needs to be done to develop this corridor?

Fort Pulaski National Monument is teaming up with Savannah Tree Foundation to plant trees for National Public Lands Day Saturday September 27. Volunteers can expect to participate in marsh cleanup, trail maintenance, fort cleanup, painting, and of interest to all who look in on the Greenway’s progress, work on continuation of the McQueen’s Island hiker/biker trail.
Of note, Fort Pulaski has identified in their master plan a project to extend the McQueen’s Island trail from their entrance all the way to its eastern boundary at the Lazaretto Creek Bridge, all along the old Savannah to Tybee railbed. This work along with a project from the City of Tybee Island and Chatham County will eventually link Tybee into Fort Pulaski via an off road trail, assuming the appropriate treatment of the Lazaretto Creek bridge could be completed.

Skidaway Island, home to oceanography and thousands of Savannahians, is the site of the July Savannnah Wheelie!
Join the Savannah Bicycle Campaign for a ride around Skidaway Island. The ride will begin at the picnic area in Skidaway Island State Park and move on through to the Landings. This 7 mile ride takes us through the woods of the state park, over a bridge through the marsh and past a few golf courses along the way. We will return to the State Park for a cookout at the end of the ride. We will do the grilling, but bring a side to share if you’re planning on eating with us. The ride and the cookout are free, but if you drive to the park, there is a $3 per car charge (of course if you come on your bike, there’s no charge). The more the merrier!
Thanks to Star Bike, Attorney Joe Steffen/Georgia Bike Law and Big H little h for their sponsorship of the July Wheelie!

The third installment of the Savannah Wheelie will ride through Isle of Hope on Saturday, June 14 at 11 am. That’s the day before Father’s Day and a free day at Georgia State Parks, so we will start at Wormsloe Historic Site and ride their famous live oak lined drive and then through beautiful Isle of Hope. It’s hard to imagine anywhere prettier in Coastal Georgia. We’ll finish back at Wormsloe, which will be open for all to use, so stick around and bring a picnic!

Mayors and concerned citizens pushing for better bike facilities are coming out on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 to ride to the state capital as part of the third annual Georgia Rides to the Capitol. The event is sponsored by the Metro Atlanta Mayors Association (MAMA), and we have at least one Coastal Georgia Greenway supporter who will be in attendance.

In order to raise support for the development of a regional-scale bicycle network of both on-road facilities and multi-use-trails, and a pedestrian network focused around major transit facilities and activity centers and near schools.
MAMA also intends to raise awareness of the benefits of bicycling as an important form of transportation; a beneficial economic development and tourism tool; an excellent way to maintain health and fitness; and a great sport and family activity.
We could not agree more. If you are interested in participating, or are interested in recruiting your local elected officials in participating in a symbolic ride, please contact us.
