Two City of Atlanta departments and an Atlanta City Councilmember have pooled resources to provide $400,000 for PATH400.

 The Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT), Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and Atlanta City Councilman Howard Shook are providing the funds, which are critical to complete construction of the multi-use trail between Buckhead and Sandy Springs.

When complete, PATH400 will create a bike and pedestrian-friendly connection from Atlanta’s northern suburbs to the Beltline and other regional trails.

“We’re thrilled to get this funding,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead. “Thanks to Parks Commissioner Justin Cutler, Atlanta DOT Commissioner Solomon Caviness and Councilmember Howard Shook we can begin construction on the link to Sandy Springs early next year. Their ongoing support of PATH400 has been invaluable, and we are truly grateful.”

Construction is underway on the final major segment of PATH400’s 5.2-mile route through Buckhead and is anticipated to finish in 2025.
