WHNA Crime Alert Mailbox Tampering

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

Dear Residents,

Thanks to our residents for passing on the following email.

" Over the last few days, we have confronted kids who are tampering with mailboxes in the neighborhood. They are in their early teens. We have observed them opening mailboxes and reviewing the contents. We're not sure if they are actually taking the mail because we immediately confront them.

The first time, on Thursday, they simply ran when they were approached. On Saturday, they became combative so we followed them and took pictures. Luckily, there was an APD car patrolling the neighborhood. The officer took immediate action, but the kids ran and were not caught."

Thanks to Perry and Mike for passing on the information.  Be sure to check the links below for more crime updates.

Brad Grullke
President, WHNA
Have a great Labor Day.

Please Participate in LLCC.’s Clifton Corridor Survey

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment

This was from LLCC.  It is strongly recommended that people take the time to fill out the survey.  LLCC needs to hear your feedback.

LLCC has hired Heather Alhadeff, Senior Transportation Planner at Perkins + Will, to assist our organization in providing constructive community feedback to MARTA as it conducts its Alternatives Analysis (AA) for the Clifton Corridor Transit Initiative.  Feedback from area residents and business owners will be compiled into an area-wide report to be shared with MARTA as it moves toward choosing the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for this study in mid October. It is LLCC's goal to present this community feedback in a clear and logical form so as to positively impact the process and project. You can help by taking a few minutes to complete the following survey.  This survey will be available to participants until October 1. The final results will be posted on the LLCC website.

This survey is a tool to identify improvements to the project IF it were to move forward. Your thoughts, whether for or against, are very helpful during this phase of planning.

Take this survey
Thank you for participating in our survey, as your feedback is very important to us.
