The Woodall Rail Trail is a significant infrastructure project in the Upper Westside of Atlanta, designed to enhance connectivity and walkability in the area. This trail, approximately 3.2 miles long, is a vital link for cyclists and pedestrians, connecting the existing Whetstone Creek Trail ( future Silver Comet Connector) with the future Atlanta BeltLine Northwest Trail corridor. The trail offers predominantly off-road pathways, meandering through the Upper Westside.
This project plays a crucial role in the ongoing transformation of the Upper Westside, a region experiencing an industrial renaissance with significant development in retail, restaurants, and office spaces. The Woodall Rail Trail is set to connect residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and office developments, making them more accessible by foot and bike. It also promises to connect the Upper Westside to downtown Atlanta and beyond, integrating into established trail systems.
