Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em> – City of Atlanta and nonprofit officials Friday celebrated the completion of the 0.7 mile Woodall Rail Trail, the first segment in Atlanta of a path that will connect the Beltline to what will become the longest continuous paved trail in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $2.4 million pedestrian and bike trail was mostly funded by state and federal grants, with matching funds from the Upper Westside Community Improvement District and in-kind donations from the PATH Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new segment begins at Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard and Elaine Avenue, where the Northwest Beltline is wrapping up construction this year, Dickens said. It ends at The Works, a mixed-use development on Chattahoochee Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
