Bryant
Property
This Greenway Property is located in a residential
area in southwest Atlanta and is entirely located in the floodplain.
Protection of the floodplain is critical for preserving the health
of South Utoy Creek. A wide undeveloped floodplain on the streambank
allows storm water to infiltrate the ground slowly and helps prevent
streambank erosion. Both large and small property owners in southwest
Atlanta have participated in the Atlanta Greenway Acquisition Project,
which has resulted in a connected corridor of protected streamside
properties. A protected stream corridor creates a more stable habitat
for plants and animals. This acquisition is an example of how property
owner participation in the City of Atlanta Greenway Acquisition
Project can result in great benefits to water quality in the City
of Atlanta.
If you are interested in participating in the Greenway Acquisition
Project, you can email us at greenways@usinfrastructure.com,
