Residents end
Brook Run trail
lawsuit
The legal battle over the Brook Run
Park trail has ended as residents of the
Lakeview Oaks subdivision voluntarily
dismissed a suit against the city of Dun-
woody seeking to stop construction of
the trail, their lawyer said.
The decision follows a 4-3 ruling by
the state Supreme Court denying an
emergency motion for injunction filed
by the residents’ lawyer, Jenny Culler to
halt the trail through the Brook Run for
est.
City officials welcomed the ruling.
“The city is pleased with this develop
ment, and will continue to comply with
all laws as it relates to the proper con
struction of the Brook Run trail,” city
spokesman Bob Mullen said. “Once
complete, the Brook Run trail will pro
vide residents and visitors with a safe
recreational opportunity and increased
connectivity between Dunwoody parks,
neighborhoods, and area businesses.”
Culler took the case to the state’s
highest court after DeKalb County Su
perior Court Judge Tangela M. Barrie in
early February denied a request that the
court temporarily halt construction of
the trail while their lawsuit against the
city was pending.
In the meantime, work on Phase I of
BRIEFS
the trail has continued and is near com
pletion. The residents have been watch
ing the city’s progress in designing and
developing Phase II of the trail, and have
had several talks with city officials about
the importance of storm water controls,
Culler said.
