The project would begin at the proposed trailhead at the intersection of McConnell Drive and the southern corner of the Mason Mill Park tennis court parking lot. The trail would continue in a northeasterly direction to a proposed trailhead along North Druid Hills Road near the existing intersection of North Druid Hills Road and Spring Creek Drive. The proposed design for Phase IV of the South Fork Peachtree Trail includes 0.86 mile (4,565 linear feet) of multiuse trail. Approximately 0,5 mile of the trail (2,620 linear feet) would be constructed as a 12-foot wide boardwalk, and 0.36 mile (1,880 linear feet) would be a 10-foot wide concrete paved trail with 2-foot shoulders. A total of three bridges will be constructed, including one timber bridge over an Unnamed Tributary to Burnt Fork Creek, and two steel bridges over Burnt Fork Creek. Additionally, several "switchbacks" will be incorporated in order to allow for the construction of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant vertical grades before crossing perpendicular to an Unnamed Tributary to Burnt Fork Creek. The trail would be constructed on new alignment and approximately 5,307 square feet of temporary easement would be required for project implementation.
