THE DIRT ON PATH400

Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, gives us the dirt on PATH400 progress.

Hey all of you PATH400 fans! I know it has been a while since you have heard from me, but I promise you it was worth the wait because I am back with a $12.5M announcement, the next phase of construction, from Wieuca to Loridans, is about to get underway!

We ceremonially broke ground in mid-November and celebrated with our elected officials and key community leaders and neighbors. A photo op with Mayor Dickens never disappoints, but we took it a step further by adding an enormous excavator as a show-stopping backdrop. It was a great kick-off for what promises to be one of the most exciting PATH400 sections yet.

Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, gives us the dirt on PATH400 progress.

Hey fellow shut-ins – I hope you are all healthy and at least retaining some sense of sanity with all of the uncertainty and isolation we are dealing with. I know mine is teetering close to the ledge, but as many of you know that isn’t really anything unusual so there is no cause for alarm.

We mentioned it last time, but the PATH400 has new murals thanks to the Outerspace Project. We are super excited that our five art walls up near Wieuca Road have brand new murals on them. Aesek, Nnekka, Angela Faustina, Angie Jerez and Lela Brunet are showcasing their talent and creativity to give our trail regulars a little variety in their daily art diet.

“Why is that gate on PATH400 closed?”

That question has been popping up in the Livable Buckhead inbox quite a bit over the past few weeks. I have a simple answer — unfortunately, the Sidney Marcus to Miami Circle segment isn’t open yet – but it’s the inevitable follow-up question that stumps me every time.

Construction Update – June 2018

Construction Report – Well, the theme here is baby steps or maybe pushing a wet noodle – take your pick. As I mentioned in my last communication, we had to write up a report to tell the railroad folks EXACTLY how we are going to build the part behind Lenox Square that goes under their main freight line. We put the finishing touches on that approach and got it all submitted to the railroad a few weeks ago. So now we wait and politely play the squeaky wheel routine. I asked the Magic 8-Ball (used to make all of my major decisions) if we would get approval in June and its prediction was “concentrate and try again…” so I guess I will be in touch later.
