Connect the Comet is a volunteer group of citizens in both Cobb County and the City of Atlanta which seeks CSX abandonment of 5.5 miles of out of service rail corridor from the East West Connector at Edna to Collier Rd. We are collaborating with the PATH Foundation to advocate for the completion and connection of the Silver Comet Trail with Atlanta’s popular BeltLine Trail. Public meetings are held every 2 months in the Vinings Bank Community Room (see schedule). Volunteers are needed and welcome.
We are an advocacy organization, not a fund raising group, but any donations to PATHFoundation www.PATHFoundation.org will advance the cause of trail development in metro Atlanta.
