Southside Trail-Segments 2 & 3

Project Status

Clean-up of the brownfield continues on Segment 3 near Milton Avenue & D.H. Stanton Park. Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall construction is in progress for the access point to D.H. Stanton Park and should conclude at the end of July. H-line storm installation from west of Hill Street with a tie-in at Hill Street will start in August. In addition, the gravity wall below Hill Street on the east side of the road will also start in August to shape the access point up to the trail. On Segment 2, one of the stormwater retention ponds has been completed, and MSE wall work for the access point east of Pryor is working to conclude by mid-August to allow for the installation of the final large underground retention pond west of Milton to the McDonough Tunnel. The majority of the trail concrete is still tracking to be poured by March ’26, with the section of trail on Segment 3 from D.H. Stanton Park to Milton Avenue poured by the end of May ’26. This is due to the brownfield work required in this location. ABI is working to have this trail open to the public prior to June 2026, when FIFA will be held in Atlanta.
