I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such nicely manicured rail lawns before.  In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a rail lawn before!

A bit of general verbal description from the same Mr. Wheatley…

Project officials last Thursday night told CL that the path won’t simply be a sloppy concrete snake tossed down willy nilly. It will feature phased-in plantings and landscaping. Space for the arboretum and a future light-rail or streetcar transit system will be preserved. Access for pedestrians and the disabled, including ramps, will be placed along the segment.

He also has a bunch more pics – of varying quality – over in his Fresh Loaf post.   Beltline officials tell Thomas there will be three or four public meetings to discuss the bike trail’s design in September.
