People who love to get out and about on Atlanta’s most famous pathway system will soon have a central hub to rest, gander at the crowds or just to chill at when the Atlanta Beltline Center opens later this month.
The center is set to open April 28 at the Stove Works office complex near Krog Street Market. The center’s Eastside Beltline Trail location promises an influx of people and people-watchers.
Speaking to Curbed Atlanta, ABP spokesman John Becker said the be a gathering place that educates the public on all things Beltline.
“There will be maps and other visuals, but much, much more,” Becker is quoted as saying. “The Center will be a place where people can learn about all aspects of the Atlanta Beltline project—as well as the Atlanta Beltline Partnership’s mission—through exhibits, interactive displays, and programming that highlight the project’s history, scope, and impact.”
Since even before its inception, the Beltline has been likened to a greatest municipal project in the nation and a shining example of community partnership and collaboration. Several areas of metro Atlanta are actively looking to imitate the pathway system, which aims to give people a safe space to jog, walk or enjoy their neighborhoods.
