Brief Project Description

Astra worked in conjunction with the Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. on the first park on the Atlanta Beltline. Clear Creek is located in Historic Fourth Ward Park and includes a two-acre detention pond providing relief to the City of Atlanta’s combined sewer system. The project included a 24” tap into the existing 9×9 trunk sewer, re-routing and reconstructing city streets, elevated walkways, stone walls, water features, decorative railings, exposed aggregate hardscapes, site lighting and landscaping. Clear Creek has established itself to be a beacon park of the Atlanta Parks System.
