The Westside Trail will span from Lena Street in the Washington Park neighborhood, through the Westview neighborhood, to Allene Avenue in the Adair Park neighborhood. The plans outlined locations of retaining walls, access ramps from the streets and neighborhood to the trails, and locations of proposed future transit stops.

Georgia State University did a feature on their website about “Georgia State Artists Display Work Across Atlanta.” Hadley Breckenridge, an alumna of GSU, is one of the former students featured by the university for her artwork. Hadley participated in the Art on the BeltLine project three years in a row, all three of which can be found along Westview’s portion of the Atlanta BeltLine!
In 2011 her first piece, titled Enterchange, was painted along a retaining wall along Muse Street facing the Atlanta BeltLine. In 2012 she painted The Highball Artist on the Lucile Avenue bridge. In 2013 she revisited Enterchange by enlarging it to the remaining span of the retaining wall, as well as on the Muse Street facing wall.
