I am pleased that in 2014, we took important steps to add three additional miles on that path to success by breaking ground on the Westside Trail. Key to our success was leveraging the $18 million federal TIGER V grant we received for the Westside Trail in 2013 which represented nearly half of the $43 million allocated for construction. The Westside Trail is an integral part of paving the way for the future of Atlanta and demonstrates my Administration’s commitment to build the Atlanta BeltLine in every part of the City. ^ Pictured Above: Mayor Kasim Reed welcomes guests to the Westside Trail Groundbreaking Ceremony.

WESTSIDE DEVELOPMENT The Upper Westside has seen a resurgence in activity and interest over the past decade. Historically a warehouse and industrial district, it has been transformed into one of Atlanta’s trendiest neighborhoods. This neighborhood is capitalizing on Atlanta’s overall economic strength as well as the ongoing demand for urban living and the quest for new and attractive locations. Residents and workers are prioritizing the opportunity to live near employment centers and enjoy numerous cultural and social amenities within a short walk from their doorsteps. Now home to some of the most popular restaurants and bars in Atlanta the area is well-located from the three major employment hubs - Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead - which together include more than 50 million square feet of office space. WESTSIDE PARK The City of Atlanta purchased the Bellwood Quarry in 2006, and construction on what will be Atlanta’s largest greenspace is now underway.
