BRACK: Construction going slowly on Western Gwinnett Bikeway
By Elliott Brack | Have you noticed the construction along the west side of a four-mile stretch of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Duluth and Suwanee? Gwinnett County is building part of a multi-use path, the Western Gwinnett Bikeway, on the western edge of the road, and using distinctive prefab concrete construction barrier walls in the process. It is a long-awaited bikeway, having been in the talking stage for years, and lately, has been plagued by construction delays.

“The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it.”
– British biologist and writer Sir Peter B. Medawar (1915-1987).
