Additional Property Attributes

The Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. (ABI) purchased this 1.8 miles of CSX rail corridor in August 2018 for a future pedestrian and bike trail. ABI had a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) completed in May 2018, which covered over 40 parcels and approximately 31 acres in the corridor. This multi-use trail will connect the newly opened Proctor Creek Greenway at the Bankhead MARTA train station to points south in the English Avenue, Vine City and Downtown neighborhoods. It is a lynchpin in the planned network of 33 miles of trails connecting the BeltLine and PATH's Comet Trail-this will make one the longest continuous paved trails in the U.S. (105 miles). This segment of trail will also traverse through neighborhoods in the priority brownfield area, Proctor Creek Watershed. ABI purchased the corridor for around $6 million with local voter-approved special transportation funds. The City's Brownfield Program conducted soil and groundwater sampling along the corridor during the summer of 2019. This assistance filled a gap between acquisition costs and the yet-to-be determined cleanup and construction costs. Redevelopment of the trail started immediately after the assessment in June 2019 with the removal of rail track. In October 2019, the PATH Foundation received a $6 million donation to finish connecting the BeltLine and the PATH's Silver Comet. The goal is to have this trail connection completed by 2021. Former Use: The Subject Property is a former railroad corridor located in a mix of industrial, commercial and residential development northwest of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Specifically, the Subject Property stretches along the historic Bankhead, English Avenue, and Vine City communities between Jefferson Street NW and Joseph E. Boone Boulevard NW. Historically, the surrounding area has been residential with interspersed industrial development as early as the 1890s. Observations made during this assessment indicated numerous nearby and/or adjacent historically industrial facilities, automotive repair shops, residential developments, gasoline filling stations and construction salvage yards.
