Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed joined Livable Buckhead at an event last week to recognize major donors to our PATH400 capital campaign. In his remarks,
Mayor Reed reflected on the need to seize the opportunity that PATH400 presents.
“Buckhead deserves this kind of connectivity. Buckhead deserves greenspace. We must take advantage of the opportunity we have now, because we will not have this opportunity again.”
Last fall, you captured Buckhead’s PATH400SM at its autumnal best. Now with the weather fallphotowinnerfb warming up, it’s time to grab your iPhone, your SLR or even that old Polaroid if you like and head out to the greenway.
Most of the plants that we worried over all winter have survived and will soon be in full bloom, making PATH400 a picture-perfect place to get out and enjoy spring.
The PATH400 theme for this month is “INSTANT ” – blink an eye and you will miss the cool things about to happen!
INSTANT Landscape – Thanks to Atlanta Public Schools (APS), we will have hundreds of trees arriving in the fall between Old Ivy and Wieuca! A 
signature feature of the Atlanta Tree Protection Ordinance is “recompense,” the purpose of which is to recoup some of the lost public value that occurs in the destruction of trees. In this case, recompense will be satisfied by the “in-kind” planting of replacement trees. APS needed to recompense for construction and PATH400 needed trees. A win for both parties.
If Buckhead had a birthstone it would be concrete. Our paved paradise has some of Atlanta’s best high rises, restaurants and shopping, but our parks game is weak. Livable Buckhead is working on that…and we need your help.
It’s not news that walking is healthy and people who walk or otherwise exercise regularly tend to be more calm, alert and happy than people who are inactive. To combat afternoon slumps in enthusiasm and focus, take a walk during the lunch hour.
Vote clears the way for work on “missing link” between Buckhead, Sandy Springs segments to proceed
