The Beltline arborteum is an underrated, but seriously appreciated part of the project. In the Spring, I love seeing all the native plants and flowers blooming along the trail. The Westside, with its larger easements, has especially large plantings.

The construction here is more impressive than any other segment I've seen. The trail is often on hilly terrain and includes massive concrete ramps (unfinished) connecting to the neighboring areas.

The beltline made a big investment in planting many large trees along the new segment. Some are showing signs of water stress, so I hope they have a plan to water them, because we can't rely on the sky this year, and it would be a shame to lose those trees. The southern edge of the trail does seem to have a temporary irrigation system under construction.

There is also some nice graffiti where the beltline passes under a bridge. And here's a close up of the entrance mural by the artist seven.

I made it down to the new Beltline segment, completing the SE section. Here is my impression (and photos). At the opening by Glenwood road, there is a beautiful mural by Aysha Pennerman. It looks like an African savanna scene at sunset - pink and orange sky, and the silhouette's of acacia trees and elephants, where the elephants are highlighted with pink and sky blue.
The right-most panel is by a different artist (the Artist Seven) and shows a woman lying in the grass.
