LLCC Adopt-a-Highway Litter Pickup

Jesse Thompson

The Adopt-A-Highway program is back to its regular schedule this month with our next pick up event scheduled for Saturday, 9 May 2009 at 9:00am.

And I'm happy to announce that we have a new sponsor, ChocoLaté! Please plan to meet in front of ChocoLaté in the LaVista Walk development, which is across the street from Publix. They have graciously agreed to provide us with a full service outside of their store with fresh coffee and pastries.

So come hungry and ready to work... it's been 2 months since we cleaned up the corridor so we could really use your help!

Please email me if you plan to attend.

Thanks,
Sarah Hailey, Adopt-a-Highway Coordinator

Event Sponsor

Thanks to Vera Bettin at ChocoLaté for sponsoring this event and providing pastries and coffee.

Be sure to park in the areas marked "Retail Parking". Addtional spaces are immediately inside the parking garage.

Rich Sussman (from LLCC newsletter)

On Thursday evening June 18, the South Fork Conservancy will be hosting a meeting to bring the LLCC neighborhoods up to date on their efforts to link the communities adjoining the South Fork of Peachtree Creek. It is the vision of the South Fork Conservancy to protect and restore approximately 1,100 acres of greenspace by establishing a 31-mile network of connections along the creek. Some of this land is already in public ownership, including parks and sewer rights-of-way; other portions are under commercial and industrial use. Surprisingly, not a great amount is residential.

SRTS Update
Harriet Hoskyns-Abrahall (from LLCC newsletter)

The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) group is moving ahead in planning a Survey of Parents of Briar Vista Elementary School. This will address the distance traveled by students to school now, current obstacles to walking and biking, and desired improvements in the area of the school. The final version will need the approval of the Briar Vista PTA and the coordinator of SRTS for the State of Georgia. It is extremely helpful to have the school's Principal as such an active member of the group.

General Assembly Meeting Minutes

Woodland Hills Neighborhood Association

Quarterly General Assembly Meeting

The meeting was called to order by Brad Grulke at 7:30 PM.

Brad introduced Officer Obester from the Dekalb County Police Department's "Interactive Community Policing" (ICP) group.

Officer Obester provided background on the ICP. The ICP was created to get officers "back to the neighborhood and to the community". Recent ICP projects have included cleaning up the Sage Hill shopping center after an increase in property crime. The property crime was attributed to homeless people squatting under a bridge near the shopping center. The squatter's community has been cleaned up, and property crime has decreased.
