Northwest Trail-Segment 5

This trail section begins at the intersection of Marietta Boulevard and Huff Road and travels 0.7 miles to Ellsworth Industrial and English Street. The project will involve building Beltline trail outside of the railroad corridor. The trail corridor follows the east side of Elaine Avenue, NW and crosses over Ellsworth Industrial Avenue, where a greenway trail starts from Ellsworth Industrial to English Street. The intersection of Ellsworth Industrial and Elaine Avenue, NW is proposed to become a three-way stop for vehicular traffic.
