I'm literally one of the mods of !fuckcars, which is to say, I am painfully aware of how much better Europe in general, and the Netherlands in particular, is at this stuff.
The difference with Atlanta is that path is kinda the only one like that we have in the entire metro area. We have other trails in a network that's gradually becoming more connected, but that's the only part of it that's more-or-less fully built out with pedestrian-oriented surrounding architecture, which makes it far more popular than any of the others.
Other trails look more like:
Beltline Southside Trail
Stone Mountain Trail
Silver Comet Trail
Don't get me wrong: they're nice, in their own way. But they don't have nearly the appeal or ridership of the only trail with proper urbanism.
