T-Shirt for University Ave Tunnel · Southside Beltline, Atlanta
This stretch of the Beltline, running from Pittsburgh Yards at University Avenue down to Boulevard, finally opened in June 2026, closing the last major gap in what's now 16.7 continuous miles of trail nicknamed "The U." It had been years in the making.
One of the standout features along the new segment is a long, historic train tunnel, now open to walkers and cyclists for the first time. Worth reading up on what this connection actually means for the neighborhoods it links before you start before you start sketching.
Tagline ideas: "Finally!" / "The wait is over." / "16.7 miles, no detours."
