The first segment of the PATH400 walking trail will open to pedestrians soon, a Buckhead community group announced last week.
Livable Buckhead’s “BuckHeadlines” newsletter reported on Oct. 26 that Phase 1 of the five-mile long trail is nearing completion and should be open for walkers, runners, bikers, and other active living enthusiasts very soon. The first segment of the trail will run between Lenox and Old Ivy roads. Construction on this segment of the trail began in April.
Patch reported last year that this phase of the project was slated to cost around $2 million, with the entire project coming in anywhere between $12 and $14 million. Once complete, the PATH400 trail will wend its way from Loridans Drive south to the Atlanta Beltline’s Peachtree Creek spur trail.

Some 5,133 residents will live within a five-minute walk of the proposed trail.
“This trail is one of the ways to really enhance the Buckhead brand to keep it competitive in the future,” Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead, said during a 2012 Buckhead Community Improvement District meeting.
