Clear Creek (Atlanta)

Known in the 19th century as Stillhouse Branch, it merges with Clear Creek a few hundred feet west of the dead end of Dutch Valley Road.

North of Tenth Street, the creek was converted into a large concrete channel that runs through Piedmont Park and the Ansley Golf Course.

Historic Fourth Ward Park covers 17 acres of headwaters greenspace[2] and is located just south of Ponce City Market and just west of the BeltLine trail.

Designed to provide stormwater management for an area undergoing intensive redevelopment, it was one of the first completed urban park elements of the Atlanta BeltLine project.

The project also involves rerouting and reconstructing city streets, building elevated walkways, extensive walls, ramps, various hardscapes, decorative railings, site lighting, wetlands plantings, and landscaping.

[3] The pond generates a minimum of 425 gallons per minute from the submerged Clear Creek water table, which is used to maintain the park's lawns and playing fields.

Recent parkland expansion and multimillion-dollar green infrastructure developments (2011,[4] 2013[5]) managed by the Piedmont Park Conservancy[6] are designed to improve Clear Creek's water quality and enhance biodiversity.

The Clear Creek Nature Preserve[12] of the Brookwood Hills Community Club comprises 70 acres of privately held riparian bottomland, protected by a conservation easement through the Greenway Acquisition Project.

Modify Buford Highway, Monroe Drive, and Piedmont Road to better interface with adjacent neighborhoods and divert through traffic away from residential areas.

Located where the BeltLine crosses Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward, a mixed-use development occupies the historic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building.

The SweetWater Design District (2010), located around Armour Circle, Ottley Drive, and Plasters Avenue NE,[14] was established to foster a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and to strengthen the community among businesses and organizations.
