Calling all golf carts!!

It's time more neighbors got involved in Atlanta's zaniest and most colorful parade. If a float seems like too much to manage this late in the game (apathetic chicken), think about competing in the Neighborhood Golf Cart Contest! Flowers - butterflies - balloons - streamers - skeletons? Anything goes! Just gussy up that golf buggy and give it a whirl!   

In addition to the sheer fame and glory of simply being in the Parade, you could win an AMAZING blue ribbon to pass on to your grandchildren.

Email [email protected] to register and for more information.  (You gotta register!)

The May Porch Party is at the home of Marji McCullough and Dirk Schroeder, at 196 Waverly Way. It's on Friday, May 31, 2019 at 7:30 pm.

Please pay close attention to the street closing and remove your cars from the streets prior to the closing in order to avoid being towed. 

 

Closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday:

There's a lot going on in Little 5 Points and you can be a part of it! Get your name on a paver in Findley Plaza or adopt an item in Little 5 Points to help in the beautification effort.

This is the follow up letter from Renew Atlanta after last week's public meeting. Please fill out the survey. Under projects you support please select "Complete Streets" and add "Euclid Ave" and "N. Highland". 

On behalf of Renew Atlanta/TSPLOST Interim General Manager, Michele Wynn, thank you for attending our first round of Prioritization & Rebaselining Public Engagement Meetings. We know your time is valuable and we appreciate your interest and commitment in helping us during this prioritization effort. 

As we discussed in these meetings, the cost to deliver the full scope of the initial program considerably exceeds the funding available from the Renew Atlanta Bond and TSPLOST revenues. Thus, we are working diligently to transparently prioritize and re-baseline the initial program lists to deliver the greatest impact to Atlanta’s above-ground infrastructure and transportation network with the available funds. Through this re-baselining, we are dedicated to engaging you, the stakeholders, to help inform the process. 

Porch Parties are back!  February's party will be at the home of Melissa Miller and Thom Abelew, 211 Hurt Street, on February 22, 7:30. Bring the beverage of your choice and a snack to share!

Funding for RenewAtlanta projects are in jeopardy. The city has a "Prioritization & Rebaselining Initiative" on their website. There isn't enough money for all the projects to be completed. We'll have to fight for ours and we'll need your help. 

For several years our Transportation Committee, headed by Janice Darling, has been working with Renew Atlanta on two projects in the neighborhood. The N. Highland safety improvements from N. Highland to Alaska Ave. and the Euclid and Edgewood intersection.  Both projects have met neighborhood approval and the plans are complete. They only need funding. both plans include bike lanes and crosswalks. The N. Highland one also include loading zones, increased parking and ride share pickups. These safety improvements are part of the complete streets project with Renew Atlanta and are greatly needed. Anyone who has tried to cross N. Highland at Barcelona knows we need safety improvements along this very busy area.   

Two rounds of public engagement meetings will be held. One is this Wednesday, January 22, 1019 from 6:30-8:00 pm at Grady High School and the other one is Thursday, March 7, 2019 from 6:30-8:00 pm also at Grady. The more people we have at these meetings supporting our N. Highland Complete Streets Project the more likely we are to get funding. The city needs to know we want and need these improvement done. 

The Inman Park Neighborhood Association Meeting will be held Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at the Trolley Barn 7:30 pm. All Inman Park neighbors are welcome. 

This month's agenda will cover: 

 Louis Grisoglio, MARTA Senior Outreach Planner - Update on Status of Inman Park-Reynoldstown Station closure
