Emory commits $15.8M toward a Brookhaven greenway bridge over I-85

The Peachtree Creek Greenway would cross the interstate to reach Emory's Executive Park.

FUNDINGBrookhavenJul 14, 2026

Brookhaven laid out a funding plan for a bridge carrying the Peachtree Creek Greenway over Interstate 85 to Emory University's Executive Park district. Emory is putting in $15.8 million over ten years, with the balance coming from private investment, economic development tools, and partner contributions.

The city says no residential property taxes will pay for design or construction. Final design should wrap in late 2027 with a 2028 groundbreaking, and Phase 2 of the greenway itself breaks ground this year.

Brookhaven Council Approves Rezoning for 320 Apartments at Ashford Green

Today's new pointer (Hoodline, 2026-08-27, headline 'Brookhaven Approves 320 Apartments at Ashford Green Office Park Near I-285') traces to the same underlying event Urban OS already verified earlier today from the city's Aug. 25 council wrap-up and the case's Letter of Intent: the Brookhaven City Council voted 3-0 (Diaz, Funny, Sen; Simmons absent) on August 25, 2026 to approve ORDRZ 2026-08-01 -- rezoning case LUP26-00001 and companion special land use permit LUP26-00002 -- for the 14.24-acre Ashford Green office site at 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road, clearing the way for up to 320 apartments and a small restaurant village alongside the site's existing office building, just south of I-285.
