Peachtree Creek Greenway

At the Peachtree Creek Greenway, we're not just building trails; we're fostering connections and nurturing an environmentally conscious community. One of our most steadfast partners in this journey has been Osprey Corporation, whose office is conveniently located right along the Greenway on Briarwood Rd, just next to the trailhead. Led by CEO David Ankenbrandt, Osprey Corporation exemplifies what it means to be committed to both environmental stewardship and community building. Osprey’s core business—providing waste management and recycling solutions—mirrors the sustainability goals of the Greenway. Their commitment extends far beyond their corporate grounds. They've implemented innovative practices to minimize waste and enhance eco-friendliness, like their program to recycle and repurpose manufacturing scrap materials and the installation of ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 charging stations. These initiatives help reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable commuting options, setting a standard for environmental responsibility that we deeply admire. Their involvement with the Greenway goes back to our early days, and their support as a Creek Crusader sponsor has been invaluable. While Osprey’s operations might not directly benefit from increased foot traffic from the Greenway, their support is driven by a genuine desire to bolster a strong community and ensure a healthy, safe environment for all. It's a reflection of their belief in the power of a connected community and their dedication to making Atlanta a greener, more sustainable place to live and work. We are incredibly grateful for Osprey’s ongoing support and especially to CEO David Ankenbrandt for his visionary leadership. Their contributions not only help sustain the Greenway’s growth but also inspire others in the corporate sector to take action towards sustainability. As we look forward to expanding the Greenway, connecting more neighborhoods, and enhancing the ecological health of Peachtree Creek, we are encouraged by the continued support from Osprey Corporation. Their commitment helps us maintain the Greenway as a vital green space for relaxation, recreation, and environmental education. The Peachtree Creek Greenway would not exist without our non-profit, Peachtree Creek Greenway Inc., and we could not advocate for the completion of the Greenway from the Atlanta Beltline to Spaghetti Junction in unincorporated DeKalb without the help of sponsors like Osprey Corporation. We invite other businesses and organizations to join us as sponsors, to be part of this transformative journey. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/edtcWnGW We encourage everyone to learn more about how you can support the Peachtree Creek Greenway and join us in thanking Osprey Corporation for their role in helping us bring this vision to life. Their efforts are a cornerstone of our mission to create a more interconnected and environmentally aware Atlanta.

🌿✨ Spotlight on Support: Arketi Group ✨🌿 Today, we’re excited to spotlight Arketi Group, a long-standing ally of the Peachtree Creek Greenway, Inc. As a powerhouse in digital marketing and public relations for business-to-business technology sectors, Arketi not only fuels growth within the industry but also passionately supports our community initiatives. Arketi is located near the upcoming Phase Two of the Peachtree Creek Greenway, which is gearing up for construction. The anticipation is high, especially for the pedestrian bridge over Interstate 85, which will link them directly to Executive Park. This new addition will provide a seamless connection to nature and a direct route for peaceful walks right from their office doors—once Phase Two opens. 🚶♂️💼 Arketi’s support is instrumental as we strive to make the Greenway accessible to all. Their excitement for the near future, where they can literally step outside and onto the Greenway, reflects their commitment to being “Of Service” to the community. This accessible greenspace is crucial for our physical, mental, and emotional health, a mission Arketi actively supports. Their enthusiasm for the Greenway’s expansion highlights the transformative power of accessible green spaces. Once completed, the Greenway will enable many to commute to work or enjoy the outdoors without ever needing a car. Thank you, Arketi Group, for your steadfast partnership and shared vision for the Peachtree Creek Greenway. We’re just as excited as you are for the days ahead, filled with more connectivity, community, and greenery. 🌳 #SupportLocal #GreenwayPartners #ArketiGroup #OnlyArketi #PeachtreeCreekGreenway #CommunityFirst #SustainableCommute

Biking to work isn't just fun—it's a win-win for both employees and employers! Cycling improves physical and mental health, reduces stress, and saves money. Employers benefit too, with healthier, more productive employees and lower healthcare costs. Plus, biking helps reduce our carbon footprint and traffic congestion. The Peachtree Creek Greenway will soon connect key commercial, retail, educational, and office points, making bike commuting easier and more accessible for everyone in Atlanta, Brookhaven, Doraville, Chamblee, and unincorporated DeKalb County.

Accelerating Progress: Brookhaven and DeKalb Step Up Recently, we've seen groundbreaking developments from both DeKalb County and the City of Brookhaven—developments that promise to accelerate our journey towards a fully realized 12-plus-mile Greenway. This isn't just good news; it's a transformative step forward for our communities. DeKalb County Makes Moves Thanks to the relentless efforts of Congressman Hank Johnson and DeKalb Commissioner Robert Patrick, DeKalb County secured an $800,000 federal appropriation. This funding kick-starts the initial planning and engineering of the Greenway segments from Fisher Trail Park to Chamblee Tucker Road, near Mercer University. This section is crucial as it will connect communities all along the I-85 corridor, eventually creating a connection to the Atlanta Beltline and stretching up to Gwinnett County. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to both Congressman Johnson and Commissioner Patrick. Your commitment to our community's future is evident, and it's your hard work that has brought this vision closer to reality. Brookhaven's Bold Move In a bold and strategic move, the City of Brookhaven has decided to forego federal funding for the Phase III segment of the Greenway, from Briarwood Road to Clairmont Road. This decision, unanimously supported by Mayor John Park and the City Council, means that Brookhaven will now fully fund this phase with local resources. By doing so, they aim to complete the work faster and more cost-effectively, sidestepping the usual delays and inflated costs associated with federal funding. Mayor Park put it simply yet powerfully: "We’re going to do it faster and we’re going to save taxpayer dollars. It’s that simple." This move not only accelerates the construction timeline by several years but also ensures that taxpayer money is utilized with maximum efficiency. Why This Matters The Peachtree Creek Greenway is more than just a path; it's a vital infrastructure project that enhances safety, promotes healthy living, preserves our environment and connects communities. Situated parallel to Buford Highway, one of Georgia's most dangerous roads, the Greenway offers a safe alternative for pedestrians and cyclists, linking them to employment centers, transit options, and green spaces. These recent commitments from DeKalb County and Brookhaven reflect a shared vision of connectivity and community-first infrastructure. They also send a clear message to our regional partners: We are leading the way, and we expect you to keep pace.
