Eastside Trail Capital Improvements Construction

Construction of several capital improvements to the existing Eastside Trail running from the intersection of 10th Street and Monroe Drive to the intersection of the trail and Irwin Street, Atlanta.The Eastside Trail opened in 2013 and spans two miles from the intersection of 10th Street and Monroe Drive to Irwin Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Design and construction of the trail segment was funded by a combination of public and private philanthropic sources. More than two million users per year visit the 14-foot wide multi-use trail, which connects Inman Park, Historic Fourth Ward, and Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhoods. Due to the high volumes of users over the past six years, the trail and its surroundings need improvements to the stormwater conveyance system as well as additions to the hardscape and landscape. A large portion of these improvements will be to the current 2-foot soft shoulder that parallels most of the trail. To provide additional space for users and to help prevent further undermining of the trail surface, Flexi-Pave has been specified for installation along both sides of the trail to help mitigate both user volume and stormwater issues. Installation of a new piped conveyance drainage system at Drewry Street will require trail closures and detours.
