Ga. 400 trail could be suburbs’ path to the BeltLine BY ANN MARIE QUILL With help from PATH400 and the Georgia Department of Transportation, the cities of Sandy Springs and Dunwoody could one day be connected via multiuse trails to Atlanta’s BeltLine. “Good stuff is happening with [PATH400],” Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, said at a recent North Buckhead Civic Association meeting. With Phase 1 of the trail that runs along Ga. 400 complete from Lenox Road to Old Ivy Road, the organization is now working on Old Ivy to Wieuca, with future phases including Sidney Marcus to Miami Circle; Wieuca Road to Mountain Way Common; and Lenox Road to Peachtree Road via Tower Place Drive, and will eventually connect to the Atlanta BeltLine.
