City of Atlanta officials are advancing a 535-mile trail expansion plan called Trails ATL, aimed at reducing traffic congestion and enhancing walkability for 95% of residents by 2052. Approved unanimously by the Atlanta City Council on June 16, the project seeks to improve access to the Beltline and MARTA, with the first phase proposing 35 miles of greenway trails at a cost of $252 million over the next decade. Concerns about potential impacts on housing affordability and community disruption have been raised, emphasizing the need for inclusive community engagement throughout the planning process.
