Mark your calendars! Atlanta Streets Alive is coming back to Peachtree Street starting Sunday, May 19. Once a month, we'll close a street to cars and open it for you to walk, bike, roll and play. Learn more at http://AtlantaStreetsAlive.org #MovingAtlantaForward #AtlantaStreetsAlive
DCP recently hosted 7 Open Houses and 8 Popup events, reaching 14 NPU areas and engaging with over 900 residents. Atlantans of all backgrounds came out to share their thoughts on future growth and development in their neighborhoods.
Even with these numbers, we really need to hear from more residents as we move forward. DCP is committed to a planning process that includes everyone in Atlanta’s future prosperity and we are doing a lot of work to increase participation. But as we work to raise awareness among those excluded in past planning processes, I need your help connecting with neighbors who are least likely to be aware of opportunities for engagement with Plan_A, and/or rarely if ever engage with civic planning activities. These are the voices that are missing from our engagements, and we do not want them to be left out. No one knows your neighborhoods as well as you do, so I’m asking you to please help spread the word about Plan_A with your neighbors, especially those who are unlikely to participate in meetings. Word-of-mouth encouragement from neighbors, peers, and friends can make a huge difference. Specifically, I’m asking you to: · Send a personal email or text message to your neighbors inviting them to come to Plan_A workshops. · Share our content on your neighborhood and personal social media accounts or post your own content about Plan_A (even sharing the website will be helpful) · Post flyers on community boards (let us know if you need copies) · Make a habit of visiting our website for updated opportunities for engagement – popups, conversations with planners, open houses, etc. (https://www.atlantaforall.com) · Make sure your neighbors know that their input on issues – housing, commercial development, transportation, infrastructure, etc. – can make a real difference in their neighborhood’s livability. · Ask your executive board members to do the same outreach in their networks. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions or thoughts. We are doing a lot to get the word out, but with your help our outreach can go further. If you want to talk to your neighbors, but don’t know what to say, let me know and I can provide you with talking points or materials that can help. My goal is that when all this work is finished, no one will be able to say we didn’t do everything within our ability to get the word out. Thank you always for everything you do for your neighborhood and for our city.

Best, Det. Kevin Leonpacher Atlanta PD / Underwood Hills Patrol The Dept. of Parks & Recreation is kicking off public engagement for a citywide trails plan! Check out the info on the Trails ATL website: https://www.trailsatl.com/The intention of this trails plan is to help connect Atlantans to the places they want to go, especially parks and natural spaces, but also places like schools, grocery stores, and places of work, worship, and entertainment. Other key City partners include the Dept. of City Planning, Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Watershed Management, and the Mayor's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, among many other partners. The PATH Foundation is the plan's project manager. And, most importantly, we're seeking your partnership as Friends of the Park leaders not only to engage and provide input into the plan, but also to help spread the word and ensure we reach as many people as possible with the opportunity to have their voices heard!
Public engagement has already begun with pop-up activations at NPU meetings (please view the "Engage" tab on the website linked above). The first official public meeting is next week at Peachtree Hills Recreation Center on Monday, March 25 from 6 - 7:30 pm.
