The ramp/retaining wall structure will replace an existing system of retaining walls on the west side of the Atlanta Beltline corridor. The ramp will be ADA compliant. A staircase/retaining wall system will be constructed on the northwest corner of the Atlanta BeltLine Ponce de Leon overpass. The stair will be constructed against the existing Paris on Ponce building, with a retaining wall system to the west. This project is located in Land District 14 in Land Lots 17 and 48.
