Frustrated with the lack of alternative transportation options in downtown Atlanta, Georgia Tech student Ryan Gravel joined forces with various civic leaders in 1999 to make a difference. They created Atlanta’s BeltLine, a former railway corridor transformed into a 22-mile, multi-use trail, green-space and public art site that connects 45 urban neighborhoods. “The Atlanta BeltLine is a great new eco-chic addition to our urban outdoor world,” Elizabeth Roth raves. “Where else can you visit a park, run along the public art space, skateboard and walk the dog all in one spot!”
