The Cherokee Area Transportation System (CATS) is set to host a public input meeting and an online comment period to generate feedback on proposed changes to several fixed-route stops.
âBasically, weâre moving a few stops for safety reasons in some cases and to make routes more efficient. We are adding two stops where we have seen a need for increased service. We are removing a couple of stops that are redundant because they are sometimes within 100 yards of other stops, and then we are moving some routes from the 100 route to the 200 route in order to make the entire system more efficient,â Community Services Agency Director Bryan Reynolds said.
As the Cherokee Recreation and Parks Agency continues to move forward with its development of the Southwest Cherokee Parks and Trails plan, the CRPA Advisory Board heard the latest updates on the plan at its most recent meeting.
Community Services Agency Director Bryan Reynolds said there are four parcels of land being considered as part of the plan, three of which are owned by a family and the fourth being under control of the Cherokee County School District. Three of the four pieces of property are located south of Ga. Highway 92 in the vicinity of Clark Creek Elementary School, while the fourth is located at the intersection of Old Alabama Highway and Kellogg Creek Road. As part of the study, Reynolds said participants had the ability to share their thoughts on what they would like to see be developed in the area.
