Atlanta City Council unanimously approved legislation to require affordable housing for new residential units near the BeltLine and the Westside District.
The Atlanta BeltLine now owns all the property needed to extend the popular Eastside Trail up to the Armour area, a blossoming jobs hub near Lindbergh and Buckhead’s southeastern fringes.
The Atlanta BeltLine announced that the first phase of the park’s keystone project—a 400-foot deep former granite quarry proposed as a new reservoir and public green space—will open to the public in 2019.
Recently appointed President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine Inc., Brian McGowan sees his new role as an opportunity to address Atlanta’s major issues, such as economic inequality and mobility.
BeltLine officials announced that “final concrete” is now curing on what will be a three-mile stretch of trail through southwest Atlanta, linking Adair Park to Washington Park.
Gentrification seems scary and inevitable – a condition so complex that we are helpless in the face of it. We’re not. And in fact, what we need to do is really straightforward.
The BeltLine is one of the most popular infrastructure projects to come along in Atlanta in decades. But some say project leaders have fallen short in keeping the poor- and working-class communities adjacent to the trail informed on what to expect next in the sea change taking place.
There’s a new push to connect the Atlanta Beltline to the Silver Comet Trail.
The Atlanta BeltLine’s Westside Trail is slated to open by summer’s end. The 3-mile corridor will run from University Avenue in Adair Park north to Lena Avenue at Washington Park.
