Aug 16, 2013Atlanta leaders dedicated a one-mile spur trail — part of the 33-mile network of Atlanta BeltLine trails — near Beecher Hills Elementary School this week.
Mayor Kasim Reed said the Atlanta BeltLine Southwest Connector Trail will help make the city more green, sustainable and walkable.
The trail through a stretch of woods will allow for improved access to Beecher Hills Elementary, and it will eventually connect to the 22-mile Atlanta BeltLine in the Westview neighborhood in southwest Atlanta.
