The AARP recently released a survey rating Marietta as excellent and good for retirees, but city officials are striving for something better.
Marietta Mayor Michael Mullen has introduced "Walk Marietta", an initiative to make Marietta a more walker-friendly city.
In the first phase, trained volunteers will walk the city and identify problem areas.
So, Mayor Mullen has designated October 2 as "Walk Marietta Day", where many volunteers will hit the streets and conduct sidewalk surveys.
In phase two of the project, the city will pursue grant money to fix any sidewalk issues.
