History
Back in the early ’90s, Ed McBrayer of the PATH Foundation was looking for the best places to build bicycle paths for the city of Atlanta. Converting old railroad right-of-way was one of the most logical solutions, so he was happy to discover a 22+ mile loop of mostly abandoned railroad within the city. Later, Georgia Tech student Ryan Gravel was working on his graduate thesis and proposed that the right-of-way could include rail along with the trail and network together greenspace, historic neighborhoods and amenities in a great loop of linear park. A critical mass of ATLiens quickly got on board with the idea and, the rest is…well you know.
