It would also go around the Tri-Cities area of College Park, Hapeville and East Point and connect to transit systems in the metro like MARTA and the Atlanta Beltline.“This would be a trail that would connect people to the water,” said Josh Phillipson is with the Atlanta Regional Commission. “It would connect people from their neighborhoods to businesses. We would hope that it would be a catalyst for economic development in the region.”</div></body>
