buckheadWALKS! - PATH400 Construction Tour

Come earn some points for buckheadWALKS! walking challenge and join Livable Buckhead for the third of our Friday community walks. Livable Buckhead is excited to be opening the new segment of PATH400 this fall. Come check out a sneak peak of the new trail segment and learn more about PATH400 and where this new segment from Denise Starling, Executive Director of Livable Buckhead.
Below the Peachtree Park neighborhood, the greenway comes into an area that has a very industrial or utilitarian feel. Bounded on one side by the highway, the other by freight and passenger rail and with MARTA directly overhead. The phase in this area includes bridging under the railroad line and could include enhanced options, as “dressing up” the walls with murals.
One of the most surprising areas of the trail is a detention pond built to serve water running off from the highway which has turned into what feels like a wetland or environmentally sensitive area. The phase in this area includes the trail itself hugging the top of the slope along the rail line.
The walk will begin at Lenox Square’s Fashion Cafe (food court) in front of Five Guys Restaurant at Noon (directions here). Livable Buckhead staff will be on hand to greet you. We will have tours leaving at 12:00, 12:20 and 12:40 for 20 people max for each tour, first come first serve. So, come join us for a lunchtime tour and receive your 25 points!

Few things in life are better than a tasty milkshake and a great Certified Angus burger. Zinburger perfects both every day. Their hand-cut zucchini, sweet potato, and truffle fries will encourage a selfish need to order all three. It’s awfully hard not to enjoy yourself when surrounded by fields of green grass, light polished wood and a cross-section of the happiest people on the block. Their lineup of modestly priced and perfectly paired wine selections complements every style of burger on the menu, correctly putting the Zin in Zinburger.

If you bike to work in Atlanta, you may be interested in seeing more of your colleagues commute to work by bicycle and other transit options. Maybe you’re hearing coworkers talk about wanting to get to and from work more happily and healthfully than sitting in a car.
It’s time to make some changes to the same old routine. Get your body moving, take a break from driving to work, and immerse yourself into Atlanta’s creative and growing commuting culture.
It’s time to invite commuting experts from the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to come to your workplace and facilitate an engaging hour-long, activity-based event — completely FREE to you.
You’ll learn tips on commuting by bicycle and other means, how to plan a route, where to take classes on how to safely negotiate city roadways, how to combine MARTA with bicycling, your rights to our public roadways and other street rules, and where to go to hang out with other folks who bike for fun, for transportation, for health, or for social connectivity.
This event will be at 3348 Peachtree in the First Floor Conference Room, please RSVP.

PARK(ing) Day
2019-09-27 11:00 - 14:00 | Lenox Square, 3393 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA, 30326
On Friday, September 27th, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., 40 parking spaces in the Lenox Square parking lot along Peachtree Road will be transformed into mini-parks as part of PARK(ing) Day. The event also includes activities for the Buckhead lunch time crowd. Each of the mini-parks will have interactive elements as well, and visitors will be asked to vote for their favorites.
PARK(ing) Day is a worldwide event where citizens, artists, and activists collaborate to temporarily transform parking spaces usually reserved for cars into temporary public parks or displays of art or community.
Buckhead has a great opportunity to demonstrate the lack of public park space in the community and emphasize the importance of parks. Livable Buckhead will use PARK(ing) Day to help call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to provide a fun opportunity for positive community interaction in an unlikely place: the Lenox Square parking lot!
