The Atlanta BeltLine will connect historic neighborhoods, schools, and greenspaces with mixed use developments through southeast Atlanta. Spur trails and streetscape enhancements will provide easier access to more places, including Grant Park and Zoo Atlanta, while Maynard Jackson High School and the New Schools of Carver—two of approximately 20 public schools within 1/2 mile of the Atlanta BeltLine—will benefit from additional travel options for students and staff. Documents to determine how transit will navigate are under review with the Federal Transit Administration. The second phase of Boulevard Crossing Park will be in design in 2018 and will bring the size of this greenspace to 21 acres, including two multi-use athletic fields.

After running through predominately residential neighborhoods to the west of the Atlanta University Center, the Atlanta BeltLine encounters unused rail alongside before transitioning to on- street conditions along Marietta Boulevard. An environmental study approved by the Federal Transit Administration in 2012 identified an alignment that includes on- street and in-corridor segments. Additional plans will evaluate the feasibility of an in-fillstation at Boone Boulevard. It will integrate with the Atlanta Streetcar system along North Avenue and Hollowell Parkway. Westside Park at Bellwood Quarry will exceed as one of Atlanta’s largest greenspaces at over 300 acres. The first phase of park construction is currently in development by the City of Atlanta. Please note that the quarry is NOT currently open to visitors. The Office of Resilience and PATH Foundation are constructing the 7-mile Proctor Creek Greenway (from Bankhead MARTA station to Johnson Road). Ultimately, this will connect to the Chattahoochee River and the Silver Comet Trail.

The Eastside Trail The 3-mile, multi-use Eastside Trail runs from Piedmont Park in the north to Reynoldstown in the south and connects directly to the PATH Foundation’s Stone Mountain Trail in Freedom Park. The trail features hundreds of trees planted by Trees Atlanta as part of the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum. The Gateway Trail connects the Eastside Trail with Historic Fourth Ward Park, a 17-acre park opened in 2011 that includes a splashpad, playground, event lawns, and an aesthetic water amenity that doubles as a storm water detention facility. The park also features the City of Atlanta’s first skatepark. The unpaved trail from Monroe Drive to the tip of Ansley Golf Club provides a scenic hike, winding past Piedmont Park. It is scheduled to go into design in 2018. This section will ultimately connect the Eastside Trail to Lindbergh, the PATH400 Greenway, Peachtree Creek Greenway, and the Confluence Trail. Preliminary work is underway for the Atlanta Streetcar along the Eastside Trail and the crosstown connections at North Avenue and Irwin Street.
