Westside Stride 2025: Thank You!

What a day! Despite the wind and drizzle, y’all showed up and made this year’s Westside Stride one to remember. Neighbors, families, cyclists, and local businesses came together for a true celebration of community. From live music and great food to interactive activations across the district, it was energizing to see attendees of all ages walking and rolling together through the heart of the Upper Westside.

Highlights from the Day:

  • Food, live performances, and the spirit of the Upper Westside on full display.
  • Community activations and local vendors that kept the energy high.
  • Sneak peeks at neighborhood improvements, from new public spaces to updated signage.
  • Plenty of moments that reflect the growth, pride, and connection within our community.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated — and to our sponsors for making this year’s event possible!

Street & Infrastructure Updates

The City of Atlanta’s resurfacing project on West Marietta Street is now underway. Milling and paving have already begun, and the project extends farther than originally announced — reaching all the way to Brady Avenue.

Expect night construction activity over the coming weeks.

The City is currently developing a traffic control plan for the Marietta Blvd/West Marietta intersection to ensure a smooth and safe repaving process.

Family-Friendly Finds in West Midtown

Huff Linear Green Improvements
The bocce court and new signage are just the beginning. Additional enhancements, funded by Park Pride and BeltLine signage grants, are on the way — bringing even more activation to this community green space.

The temporary blue “P” signs you spotted during Westside Stride were part of a pilot program. If community feedback is positive, larger and permanent parking signs will be installed to make navigating the district even easier.
