Sub-Area 2: The Urban Core

This segment of River runs along the western edge of the city of Atlanta, the eastern edge of Cobb County and through vast tracts of industrial land on the Fulton County side. The Urban Core (Sub-Area 2) is defined by industrial land uses. Utility easements could be used to facilitate Greenway alignments along the River’s edge, mitigating the current lack of public access to the riverside. Residential communities, even those close to the water, typically lack access to the River and its resources.
