Everyone knows about the Atlanta Beltline, which connects the city’s neighborhoods in a 22-mile loop, but less is known about another important project: The Fairlie Poplar Path.
Named after two popular streets in downtown Atlanta, the Fairlie Poplar Path is a proposed trail that would link Centennial Olympic Park to Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta.
Fairlie Poplar Path Would Link Centennial, Woodruff Parks In Atlanta
The path would cement the Fairlie Poplar neighborhood as an urban village with more to offer than just small and large businesses and old buildings occupied by Georgia State University.
The Fairlie Poplar Path was created by Clay and Sarah Hess, both of whom live in the neighborhood.
The couple say it would also spur investment in an important part of downtown Atlanta. They also say some of the work is already done.
Much of the existing path is already built with woonerf-style features. Here is what more improvement proposals include, according to fairliepoplarpath.com:
-
Bollard installation
-
Extension of end-to-end and side-to-side brickwork
-
Missing tree and plantar box additions
-
Space-activating asphalt art
-
History-preserving wall mural street art
-
Historic lampost additions
-
(Future) Parking garage/lot conversions along the path
Proponents have created a petition to get the Fairlie Poplar Path moving.
