Dignitaries On Hand for Groundbreaking of BeltLine Gateway to Historic Fourth Ward Park
Mayor Kasim Reed, BeltLine President and CEO Paul Morris, BeltLine Partnership Executive Director Valerie Wilson, and Fulton County Commissioner Joan Garner were among the dignitaries on hand for this morning’s groundbreaking ceremony for the gateway path that will connect the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail with popular Historic Fourth Ward Park.
Mayor Reed addresses the crowd.
The ADA-accessible path will begin across from the trail’s Angier Springs Road access point and wind down the western slope toward the park, connecting at Dallas Street and North Angier Avenue (see artist rendering below). The design includes landscaping, retaining walls, lighting, and green infrastructure stormwater design.
Construction is expected to begin immediately with completion estimated for some time this summer.
Funding for the Eastside Trail Gateway comes from generous contributions from the following Atlanta BeltLine Partnership donors: A Friend of the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership; the R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation; the John N. Goddard Foundation; and the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation.
