Beltline Preview; Going All BOHO; Penthouse Wows

Grid View

• Currently the Eastside Trail of the Atlanta BeltLine has two miles of paved trail that ends at Irwin Street.
• Past neighborhood clean-ups and now construction traffic keep the trail a dirt footpath as it extends behind the Stoveworks between Irwin Street and Airline Drive.
• Another angle on Edgewood Avenue Bridge construction. When finished, the avenue will have direct Beltline access.
• The unpaved section of trail is separated from undeveloped land and an apartment development south of Edgewood Avenue.
• One potential plan calls for a tunnel to extend under DeKalb Avenue, the CSX train yard and enter Cabbagetown on Wylie Street near the Cotton Mill Lofts.
• Undeveloped brownfields exist along many segments of the BeltLine.
• A plan is being formulated for how the trail can safely pass through the Krog Street Tunnel.
• Where Krog Street meets Wylie Street, the trail will continue along the street entering Reynoldstown.
• Officials stress that an important part of the development is to make it safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
• The trail reenters to old train corridor at Stein Steel in Reynoldstown at Flat Shoals Avenue.
• Here, rails still lie along the cleared trail.
• Reynoldstown neighbors have embraced the trail as a footpath for now.
• Trash clean-ups and brush clearing have opened up previously overgrown lots.
• Temporary and permanent art has been a staple along this segment of trail at Kirkwood Avenue. Evereman is 4U ATL!
• Where possible, existing train structures will be incorporated in to the future development. Let's hope this overpass mirrors the overhauled Ralph McGill Bridge.
• Connectivity, art and development all come together on the Atlanta Beltline as it reaches Memorial Drive in Reynoldstown.
• A historic train depot and former industrial building have been transformed into a successful restaurant and condo space.
• The Beltline crosses Memorial Drive and extends along Bill Kennedy Way.
• Officials say a plan is in the works to cross the Beltline over Interstate 20.
• Trees line the streets of Glenwood Park, a mixed-use development.
• The end, for now: You reenter the rail corridor at Glenwood Avenue. This segment is still actively used by the CSX “Sand Train” to deliver to the LaFarge Cement plant.
• The highly disputed plot of land at 800 Glenwood Ave. Plans have been presented to the city for the construction of a big box retail store that has been actively protested by neighbors and other Beltline supporters.

OLD FOURTH WARD— Developers of the Bohemian House in the Old Fourth Ward gave us this preview of how the apartment project will look. Reactions have been interesting.

MIDTOWN— The penthouses at the 805 Peachtree building are jaw-dropping. This one is asking $825,000.

INMAN PARKThese plans are coming together for making Inman Park and the Old Fourth Ward safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. Hurrah!
