The funding sources REQUIRE this project to conform to the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) Plan Development Review Process. All engineering services shall be in accordance with all applicable guidelines of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, GDOT Standard Specifications for the Construction of Transportation Systems, Project Schedules, Plan Development Review Process, and Plan Presentation Guidelines, CCDOT Pre-Construction Process and Procedures Manual, and all other applicable CCDOT guidelines.

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension project is one of eight high-priority trails identified in the Cobb County Greenways and Trails Master Plan. Additionally, this trail is identified as a regionally significant trail, Project ID "S" in the Atlanta Regional Commission's Walk, Bike, Thrive! Plan regional trail vision. The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is a four-mile extension of an existing multi-use trail along Noonday Creek. The chosen team will perform a concept validation of the recently completed Scoping Study and verify the preferred alternative. The creek-side alternative will follow the general alignment of Noonday Creek, beginning at the existing Bells Ferry Trailhead, passing beneath the Bells Fery Road bridge, briefly crossing to the east side of the creek in the Addison Heights area, crossing back to the western side of the creek south of New Chastain Road, through Noonday Creek Park, and ending at Shallowford Road. When completed the connection underneath the existing Shallowford Road bridge would eliminate the need for the at-grade crossing. The trail is proposed to cross beneath intersecting roadways, using existing bridges. The project will construct a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail with 2-foot unpaved shoulders. A boardwalk will be placed in areas to facilitate movement over wetlands, areas where reoccurring ponding water is likely, and over constructed wetland or stormwater improvements. Small 'walk-up trailheads' are proposed at the northern and southern ends of the proposed trail to provide amenities, such as seating, shade, educational signage, and bicycle 'fix-it' stations. The Roadside alternative provides a multi-use path connecting from the existing Bells Ferry Trailhead beneath Bells Ferry Road bridge to the east side of Bells Ferry Road. From there, it would continue northward along Bells Ferry Road, through the future proposed roundabout at the intersection of Big Shanty Road and continue down to cross New Chastain Road using the existing traffic signal to the existing sewer easement north of New Chastain Road, where it then heads east to meet the western side of Noonday Creek. From there, the trail would follow the Creekside alignment along the west side of the creek into Noonday Creek Park, where it would connect to the proposed future trailhead and PI 0016015. A larger trailhead is proposed within Noonday Creek Park, at the northern end of the park, near the entrance from Shallowford Road. This may include features such as benches, trash receptacles, pet waste stations, a bike rack and repair station, informational and wayfinding signage.
