Southside – Bill Kennedy Way Unpaved Trail + Streetscape

This project project is now complete. It included improvements to the existing Bill Kennedy Way (BKW) bridge over I-20 and the addition of a buffered, multiuse path along BKW through Glenwood Park to the Glenwood Ave intersection.  Long term plans for the BeltLine at this location include the construction of a new bridge crossing I-20.  This project provides improved travel options for bicycles and pedestrians until the new bridge can be constructed.  This project connects the end of the Eastside Trail to the unpaved Southside Trail entrance.
