The Atlanta Beltline Southside Trail has been opened on an interim basis. The all-gravel path connects the Westside and Eastside Trails. Here’s what it looks like.
The 4-mile Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail officially opened in late August and has been used since that time by sporadic joggers, walkers and bikers.
Here’s what the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail looks like
If you plan on riding a scooter there, don’t do it: The interim trail is unpaved and makes for a rocky road.
The trail is nowhere near what it will be but already has outstanding potential by offering access to a former rail corridor, 11 public streets, bridges, crosswalks in at-grade crossings and two tunnels.
The Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail traces its beginnings to March 2018. That’s when Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced that the BeltLine had acquired the 4.5-mile Southside Trail corridor from CSX.
“Linking the west and east sides of the Atlanta BeltLine is a top priority,” said Clyde Higgs, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. “We recognize that this connectivity has been highly anticipated by our neighbors along the southern corridor. We are thrilled for this milestone and future construction.”
Where is the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail located?
The Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail extends from University Avenue to Glenwood Avenue. Here are some photos of what the Southside Trail looks like in its interim state:
The city asks that the public do not use the corridor until the proper precautions have been taken to ensure that it is safe.
The Beltline is accepting volunteers to help clean up and beautify the trail through seasonal All Call Volunteer Days and Adopt the Atlanta BeltLine.
Current Southside Trail Adopters include TAF Designs, REI, Raulet Property Partners, Atlanta Community ToolBank, Mercer Street Neighbors, Eventide Brewing, and Jack and Jill of America. Learn more about these programs at beltline.org and by signing up for the Partnership’s monthly e-newsletter.

The Southside Trail of the Beltline has opened to the public. City officials commemorated the event, which has been anticipated for years.
Walkers, joggers can now travel 12 miles total on the Atlanta Beltline, officials said this week. The path is all gravel as of now, but will be beautified in the future.
Southside Trail of the Beltline opens to the public
The opening of the Southside Trail is important because it bridges University Avenue and connects the Eastside and Westside Trails.
The Southside Trail, still considered in what is called an “interim” state, is four miles in length and connects the Westside and Eastside Trails with plenty of mobility options and programming.
What’s new on the Beltline Southside Trail?
The Southside Trail of the Beltline is unpaved but has gravel for easy walking. It also gives you access to 11 public streets.
“I am delighted for the opportunity this represents for the residents of south and southwest Atlanta,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. “Already, in an interim state, the Atlanta BeltLine Southside Trail is having a profound impact on affordable housing, jobs, and the economy in the surrounding communities.”
City officials will now turn their attention to linking the respective trails so that the public can easily access them.
“Linking the west and east sides of the Atlanta BeltLine is a top priority,” said Clyde Higgs, President and CEO of Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. “We recognize that this connectivity has been highly anticipated by our neighbors along the southern corridor. We are thrilled for this milestone and future construction.”

Lime scooters are pretty much on every nick and cranny in downtown and Midtown Atlanta streets. But don’t get fined. If you want to know how to operate a Lime scooter, here’s how.
Lime scooters launched their inaugural rides in 2017 in North Carolina powered by Neutron Holdings, who does business as Lime. Since then the electric scooters have spread across the United States, Mexico and elsewhere.
How Do Lime Scooters Work?
To start riding Lime, there are four easy steps you need to take:
- You just need to download the app for Android or iTunes.
- A 4-digit code will be sent to you.
- Of course, you’ll have to confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
- Enable location services:
How Much Do Lime Scooters Cost To Ride?
It costs $1 to unlock a Lime scooter and . 22 cents a minute to ride after that.To ride a Lime scooter:
Enable your camera so that you can use your phone to scan the QR code to start your ride. That’s it. You’re ready to ride! In addition to having an initiative with the Atlanta Beltline, Lime allows you to donate a slice of your Lime ride to another person.
What Are The Scooter Rules For Atlanta?
The City of Atlanta implemented new safety rules on June 21, 2019 governing scooters in the city. Here are the highlights: Reduced Speed Zone: There is an 8 mph limit for scooters along the portion of the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail between Monroe Drive and DeKalb Avenue.
Are Scooters Allowed On The Atlanta Beltline?
Yes, but it will be subject to the Reduced Speed Zone on weekday evenings (Monday – Thursday, 6 p.m. – 6 a.m.), weekends (Friday at 6 p.m. – Monday 6 a.m.), and state holidays (6 a.m. – 6 p.m.).
Can You Ride Scooters In Piedmont Park?
Yes, scooters are allowed in Piedmont Park’s shared use pathways. The city is also actively looking at setting up park zones for scooters.
