Atlanta Streets Alive will host its fourth annual southwest Atlanta event. Like in 2016, the route will start in Westview at Lucile Ave. and continue for 4 miles along Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. through West End, Adair Park, Pittsburgh, Mechanicsville, and Summer Hill before ending in Grant Park. From 2:00-6:00pm this stretch of road will be closed to automobile traffic and will instead allow people to explore the route as pedestrians, bicyclists, roller skaters, etc.
Come out and play on the street!

Atlanta Streets Alive expanded their prior West End only route to go from Westview to Grant Park in 2016. Westview enjoyed being part of the route and included various activities, such as bubble blowing and double dutch jumping by Area West Realty, grilling and DJs by Cornerstone Church, a friendly kids vs. adults soccer match, DJ Kemit at Mutana, and more. The weather was perfect, the turnout was great, and Westview can’t wait to welcome Atlanta Streets Alive back in 2017!

The Atlanta BeltLine Southwest 5K is a Run/Walk along the Atlanta BeltLine Southwest Trail and through the historic West End and Westview neighborhoods.
The Atlanta BeltLine Southwest 5K race course will introduce participants to many local parks and features a 3/4 mile off-road jaunt within the Atlanta BeltLine corridor. It is the second 5K of the Atlanta BeltLine Running Series!
Team Challenge
As a part of the Southwest 5K we are holding a ‘Team Challenge’ for those who register and want to form a team. Your team can be a group made up from your neighborhood, run club, school, university, company, fraternity/sorority, closest friends or family members, or any other group you want.
Atlanta Streets Alive came to southwest Atlanta on Sunday, April 20, 2014, and the Westview Community Organization set up a space for hula hooping, gymnastics, and hot dogs to entertain passerby’s.
Atlanta Streets Alive temporarily closed the streets to automobile traffic with the goal to enable residents to use them for bicycling, walking, dancing, playing and fun ways to explore the community streets in a safer, healthier, more livable way. Over 16,000 people came out to participate in taking over the streets for a few hours!
