    Where on Trinity is this? It looks so remote.

      Karass is correct. Between Gateway Homes and Water Street.

      You’re right. It even felt remote while walking it, even though one street over people were lining up for farm-fresh burgers and Pork Slap Ale. The walk by Allen Wilson was also rather peaceful. There are some massive trees along Trinity there, providing great shade on a sunny day.

    It looks to me like it’s at the site of the former funeral home, between Gateway Homes and Water Street which runs alongside the Post Office depot. It’s a relief to have the decrepit brick funeral home building removed but the site is still pretty barren and depressing. And you can’t see it but there’s a killer weed (really a bush) on the corner with Water Street ahead that is always attaching pedestrians trying to pass it on the sidewalk. If you complain about it, it gets trimmed but the plant needs to be completely dug up and removed.

    as someone who likes walking, looks like a typical atlanta metro sidewalk…

      I’m guessing that the reason this sidewalk hasn’t been repaired is because the city hopes it will be redeveloped and the developer with improve the sidewalks. (I believe this is why there’s no ramp crossing the parking exit of 315 West Ponce.

    We had a gravel driveway for 10 years and monthly we’d wheelbarrow the gravel back to the top. Gravel in the bike lane is a serious danger. Hope it doesn’t take a bike accident to call attention to the disrepair.
