The folks at the Atlanta Beltline has been busy. The The Westside Trail is almost ready, opening officially sometime in September barring any complications, the Southside Trail is in a process of being procured and, as you will be able to tell with the photos below, the Eastside Trail Extension is coming along quite nicely. It’s paved, lamp poles are going in, crosswalks are being installed and landscaping is in the finishing touches. The extension will start to connect more of the overall vision of the beltline while weaving its way through Inman Park, Cabbagetown and the Old Fourth Ward neighborhoods. Come take a look at what’s happening!
