What Brookhaven’s new stretch of walk-bike trail could look like
Check out the renderings for the next stretch of the Peachtree Creek Greenway:
Peachtree Creek Greenway rendering / City of Brookhaven
The Peachtree Creek Greenway is a 12.3 mile walk-bike trail planned to run along the north fork of Peachtree Creek from North Druid Hills Road up to Embry Hills in northeast DeKalb. It basically shadows I-85 from Atlanta through Brookhaven, Chamblee and Doraville. Eventually it’s supposed to connect with the Beltline and PATH400.
The newest piece of it (Phase III) is a 14-foot wide path starting at the existing trail at Briarwood Road and ending at the city’s eastern border at Clairmont Road.
