Why: Granting of the easement through expansion and improvement of the walking trail would provide students, staff, and community members with a safe and convenient way to commute and engage in physical activity. The trail project can have positive impacts on student attendance and overall health.
Details: The DeKalb County Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Path Foundation is requesting a temporary and permanent easement on the ICS at Medlock site. This easement will allow the County to improve and expand the walking trail which can offer numerous benefits to the school district and its residents. A walking trail would provide students, staff, and community members with a safe and convenient way to commute and engage in physical activity. The trail project can have positive impacts on student attendance and overall health. It is the plan of the County to develop and maintain the trail with minimal expenses, providing long-term benefits without significant financial burden to the District or community.

The requested easement will consist of a permanent trail easement of 2,714 square feet, as well as a temporary construction easement of 1,441 square feet located at Medlock Park to Lulah Hills Road. The temporary construction easement will expire upon completion and acceptance of the project.

As determined by the State of Georgia per the Statement of Estimated Values, the easement rights have a Total Estimated Fair Market Value of $4,525.
Financial impact: The easement will directly benefit DCSD. The Total Estimated Fair Market value is $4,525. It will be paid by DeKalb County Government to the Board of Education for the easement. These funds will be placed in the General Fund.
