NEWS BRIEF: BeltLine reveals final path for Northwest Trail segment
Just like a circle
Atlanta BeltLine and Path Foundation officials presented the “prioritized alignment” for the final segment of the Northwest Trail at an Aug. 30 public meeting. The new calibration will run alongside Peachtree Park Drive and Bennett Street, known as Corridor 6 in the trail’s feasibility study. The outcome was determined by a combination of town hall listening sessions, information packets with FAQs, one-on-one interviews, flyers and digital surveys, the organizations state in a joint press release.
BeltLine CEO Clyde Higgs lauds the trail for connecting neighborhoods and business districts. “For the first time in our history, we have a defined path for the full 22-mile loop,” he says. “Completing the trail brings us one step closer to building a more equitable and inclusive Atlanta.” Details: beltline.org
