PATH400 "Buckhead's Beltline" (Atlanta, Lenox: credit, rail, rated)

[cwkimbro]

I think the picture everyone is referring to from the Curbed link and the one with the cyclist in it is along Lenox Road. IT IS NOT GA400 the Freeway.

Ok that picture is along Lenox Road, not along GA 400. There is currently a sidewalk there. This adds a barrier and widens the sidewalk. I don't know if that clears things up.

Of course it matters, because highways and busy roadways such as Lenox Road (if that is , in fact, the roadway in the picture in the photo that was chosen to represent the stupidly named "Path400") create a lot of noise.

Still not an appealing place to go for recreation, but I'm for bike and pedestrian infrastructure in any form, so I'll take it.

I can't wait to have a CONNECTED network of trails to get around the city.

Just another "little" thing that will equal huge quality of life upgrades for the future.

MARTA increase service frequency....people moan about weekend single-tracking.

Streetcar gets built....people moan that it doesn't go anywhere.

Beltine gets built.....people moan that its not happening quick enough.

New Buckhead Path gets built....people moan about the route.

I swear some folks on here would find $20,000 on the sidewalk and complain that its not $40,000.

Yes. It certainly does. I initially thought that was Lenox but have heard so many say that it is 400 I assumed I was mistaken. Thanks

Does anyone have a more clear picture of the map?

I'm really worried about the reading and visual comprehension of society.

In other news, I think the trail will be a great addition to Buckhead. I'm very happy that it will be linking up with the Beltline. Good job Buckhead CID!
