New Atlanta path opens, will become part of nation’s longest paved trail

Atlanta Journal-Constitution – City of Atlanta and nonprofit officials Friday celebrated the completion of the 0.7 mile Woodall Rail Trail, the first segment in Atlanta of a path that will connect the Beltline to what will become the longest continuous paved trail in the United States.

The $2.4 million pedestrian and bike trail was mostly funded by state and federal grants, with matching funds from the Upper Westside Community Improvement District and in-kind donations from the PATH Foundation.
