The Atlanta BeltLine will connect historic homes, lofts, and mixed- use developments through southeast Atlanta. Spur trails 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 a 1/2 mile of the Atlanta BeltLine—will benefit from additional travel options for students and staff. All documents to determine how the modern streetcar will navigate Hulsey Yard will be submitted to the Federal Transit Administration by the end of 2016. The second phase of Boulevard Crossing Park will be completed by 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 active railway. An environmental study approved by the Federal Transit Administration in 2012 identified an alignment that includes on- street and in-corridor segments. Atlanta BeltLine transit will connect to MARTA at either Bankhead station or an in-fill station at Boone Boulevard. It will integrate with the Atlanta Streetcar system along North Avenue and Hollowell Parkway. Westside Quarry Park and Preserve, formerly Bellwood Quarry, will exceed Piedmont Park as one of Atlanta’s largest greenspaces at over 300 acres. The first phase of park construction will include development of passive greenspace. Please note that the quarry is NOT currently open to visitors. The Office of Sustainability has commenced design for the Proctor Creek Greenway (from Bankhead MARTA station to Johnson Road). Ultimately, this will connect to the Chattahoochee River and the Silver Comet Trail.

This stretch presents a unique platform to customize development and complement on-going growth in the area. The hiking trail from Monroe Drive to the tip of Ansley Golf Club provides a scenic hike, winding past Piedmont Park. This section will connect the Eastside Trail with Lindbergh and the Path 400 Trail. It is scheduled to go into design in 2017. The 2-mile, multi-use Eastside Trail was the first part of the Atlanta BeltLine built in the original railroad corridor. It features 600+ trees planted by Trees Atlanta as part of the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum and a direct connection to the PATH Foundation’s Stone Mountain Trail in Freedom Park. 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. Preliminary work is underway for the Atlanta Streetcar along the Eastside Trail and the crosstown connections at North Avenue and Irwin Street.
