Area Crime Update

Jesse Thompson Leave a comment
Dear Residents,

I wanted to updated you that gun shots were reported fired at 3:30 AM Monday morning. The shots were heard by a Woodland Hills resident at the 2200 block of Arlington Ave. The resident reports hearing 5 rapid shots followed by a pause, one more shot, and a car speeding off. The resident called 911 and reported the shots to the police.

If you would like more information in our area, DeKalb County Police Department provides a link to a crime mapping service. The like is posted below.

Once you are on the site, you can type in a specific address at the top of the page; zoom in and out on the map to see the entire county or just our neighborhood; sort by range of dates; or click on individual reports to see types of crime. The information on this site reflects how the initial 911 call was reported. In some cases, the report may be changed to a different category or removed all together depending on the on-going or final outcome of investigation by police.

If you would like to help keep our neighborhood safe, I encourage you to join Woodland Hills Neighborhood Watch as a block captain. For more information please email me at secretary@woodlandhillsatlanta.org.

Thank you for doing your part to help keep Woodland Hills safe by not hesitating to call 911.

Sincerely,

Kate Martin

Commissioner Rader Update

From Commissioner Jeff Rader:

Master Plan Provides Guidance for Parks and Recreation

This month, a new director, Roy Wilson, takes the helm of DeKalb County's Parks and Recreation department. The hope is that the new director, like the New Year, marks the beginning of a new era for the department.

But a new face in the same place by itself does not ensure a new direction. Rather, personnel change needs to be supplemented by a forward-looking strategy for the department that fulfills the county's goals in line with the department's resources.

That strategy is already on the table thanks to the completion of a new 10-year master plan for the county's parks and recreation department. A 408-page comprehensive plan was presented this summer by an outside firm hired by the county.

Perhaps the best feature of the master plan is that it provides objective and quantifiable measurements of the county's assets for parks and recreation. It also establishes baseline standards for quantity and quality of current and future assets. (Links to the report are at end of this update.)

The report recommends the county strive to have 18 acres of green space per 1,000 citizens. Based on the county's population, that goal amounts to almost 13,000 acres of parkland, but the county currently has less than 6,000 acres. By that same benchmark, District Two would have about 2,500 acres of parkland, but currently it has about 400 acres.
