BriarVista Fit Trail Report

BriarVista Fit Trail Report - Station One: Calf Stretch

Saturday morning, members of WHNA, BriarVista PTA and LLCC made the first push clearing the BriarVista Fit Trail. Much overgrowth from the enterance to workout station one was chopped away. Please consider joining a future Saturday morning work crew. This is a win for the school, a win for the neighborhood, and a good workout win for you!

1489 LaVista Road Meeting

We will be meeting at Peachtree Baptist Church TONIGHT, October 7th at 7:30 PM. As I mentioned before, I feel that we have reached a reasonable compromise on 1489 LaVista Road redevelopment BUT

it is up to you to decide if this is something you feel comfortable with. As President, my job is to due what WE as a neighborhood feel is right. So please, come and hear what a recap of what has been going on and voice your opinions on the proposal.

Also tonight, October 7th, from 5 to 7pm, the Bruster's at Toco Hills will be hosting a Spirt Night benefiting BriarVista Elementary. Bring out the family and have some ice cream and help benefit BriarVista.

BriarVista is IMPERATIVE to our neighborhood. We as a neighborhood need to go out of our way to help this school in anyway we can. Even if you don't have children, or don't plan on sending your children to BriarVista, imagine if that school was closed down (which could of happened last year). How do you think you property value would be effected by a overgrown unkept school.

Hope to see you all later today.

1489 LaVista Road and BriarVista Elementary Information

On Thursday night, October 7th from 5 to 7pm, the Bruster's at Toco Hills will be hosting a Spirit Night benefiting BriarVista Elemenatary.  Bring out the family and have some ice cream and help benefit BriarVista.

BriarVista is IMPERATIVE to our neighborhood.  We as a neighborhood need to go out of our way to help this school in anyway we can.  Even if you don't have children, or don't plan on sending your children to BriarVista, imagine if that school was closed down (which could of happened last year).  How do you think you property value would be effected by a overgrown unkept school.

Speaking of BriarVista, DID YOU KNOW, that there is a fitness trail on the property for all residents to use?  It is a great gem that just needs a little shining up.

WHNA, LLCC and the BriarVista PTA have teamed up and set in motion a restoration plan for the BriarVista Fit Trail.  The first work day will be this Saturday from 9am-11am.  We are in need of 5-10 volunteers to help clear overgrowth and spread woodchips.

Please contact Brian Bilski at treasurer@woodlandhillsatlanta.org if you are interested or have any questions.

Finally, I want to invite you to our next Town Hall meeting regarding 1489 LaVista Road.  After a lot of back and forth with a lot of groups, I feel that we have a reasonable compromise offer on the table.  If your interested, please plan on attending.  We will be meeting at Peachtree Baptist on Thursday Night, Oct 7th at 7:30 PM.  So grab some ice cream from Bruster's and head on over to the church.  Without your support at previous meetings, we wouldn't have had any say in the redevelopment of the property.

Hope to see you all soon.

Description: Dear Residents,

As a result of the meeting with the DeKalb Planning Department, we were able to get the redevelopment of 1489 LaVista Road changed from "Minor" changes to "Major" changes, allowing us to have at least some input in the redevelopment of the property.

We will be holding a town hall meeting Monday Night at 7pm at Peachtree Baptist Church in order to bring you up to date with where we are and get your input.

This is a Woodland Hills meeting only. It is our job to represent you to the best of our abilities and act on your behalf. Please come and voice your thoughts and opinions.

Sincerely,

WHNA Board of Directors
