Flowery Branch wants to study the potential for a series of bike and pedestrian paths in South Hall County, possibly even a network that links Gainesville to Gwinnett County. City officials got the blessing last week for the $50,000 endeavor from the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Committee, with $40,000 coming from the MPO and $10,000 from yet-undesignated local governments. The MPO is Hall County’s lead road planning group and the policy committee, made up of top elected officials in Hall and a Georgia Department of Transportation representative, its decision-making body.
