Results: • Full BeltLine Trail Implementation Northeast Trail – Tonight’s Focal Area
Future System Interactions… • Northeast Trail • Northeast Transit • Northside Trail • Northside Transit • MARTA Armour Station • Clifton Corridor LRT
These are all “defined by placeholders.” Northeast Trail
Systems Interactions… • Northeast Trail cannot preclude any viable alternatives along any potential Northside BeltLine Corridor Northeast Trail
Connect with Existing System • MARTA Red/Gold Lines • PATH400 • Cheshire Farm Trail • Confluence Trail
Consider Future Network Connections Northeast Trail
Physical Constraints… • I-85/Buford Hwy • MARTA Red/Gold Line • MARTA Armour Yard • Norfolk Southern Rail • CSX Rail • Peachtree Creek • Brookwood Hills Conservation Easement • Armour Drive – Under Buford Hwy – Under MARTA/NSR Northeast Trail
How Did We Move This Forward? 1. Identified Alternatives 2. Developed Performance Measures 3. Analyzed Alternatives 4. Considered Existing Systems Impacts 5. Considered Possible Future Infrastructure 6. Simplified… Northeast Trail
Alternatives… 1. Segment Identification 2. Chained Segments 3. How Can We Simplify? 4. Transit Governs 5. If…Then… 6. Simplified. Northeast Trail
