Keep the BeltLine from being cut in half! Attend tonight's BeltLine Quarterly Briefing to maintain the quality and consistency of BeltLine trails throughout the entire network. 6:00pm to 8:00pm Passion City Church 515 Garson Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Parking is available, but please consider carpooling, bikepooling, or public transit. The Lindbergh Center MARTA Station is a 0.5 mile walk. Tonight's BeltLine Quarterly Briefing will contain a wealth great of information, including one particular update that concerns us - the design for the Wylie St section of the BeltLine. This section will connect the BeltLine at Dekalb Ave under the Krog St Tunnel through Reynoldstown to the BeltLine Trail.



Currently this section (highlighted in pink in the map below) is being designed to be 7 ft wide. Design standards calls for a 10 ft minimum. For context, the BeltLine East Side trail is 14 ft wide.



This made us ask why the variance in width? The best answer we received was because there is on street parking on Wylie St opposite of where the trail will be. The good news is 99% of the residents who currently have on street parking also have a driveway or an off-street parking space allotted to them! We believe that maintaining a few on street parking spaces should not take priority over the safety of the ever growing number of BeltLine trail users. Designing and installing a trail that is at least 10 ft wide is a public safety must.
