Atlanta Police Department’s Open Data Portal is now available.  Utilizing this open data portal will allow you to view crime data, crime maps, and historical crime.  Our historical crime date goes back to 2009.  You can search by crime category, zone, beat, NPU, and by your specific neighborhood!
 
Additionally, the Justice Reform APD use of force dashboard is available to you as well. 

From ATLZoning2.0;
Before we enter the code-writing phase of this process, we need your help with some of the issues we’ve identified along the way. Please review the context and questions, then provide your thoughts as appropriate.
This second focused workshop has three exercises. Exercises have been divided into two types; Primary Questions and Clarifying Questions. Link to Survey
Primary Questions are intended to be non-technical, big picture questions that provide feedback without needing a familiarity with zoning. We hope that everyone will respond to primary questions.
In contrast, Clarifying Questions are more technical. They involve specific aspects of zoning and are intended for stakeholders who would like to offer more detailed input. Clarifying questions are optional.

​The MLK Day of Service this past Monday provided an opportunity to get together and help improve the Underwood Hills Park.  A small group of neighbors and teens contributed in a big way in just 2 short hours. We trimmed bushes by the park entrance, removed branches from a downed tree, and cleared brush along the lower field highway wall, filling up 6 large lawn bags and a few large piles the city will remove.  We also picked up 2 large bags of litter and removed a broken soccer goal, a shopping cart, tire, and car battery from the lower field.  

From UHNA NPU-D Rep Eva Nason;
There are 2 issues which will be on the January 24 NPU agenda (as well as a Blandtown issue that's close to us).  I don't think any of this is likely to rouse up anybody, unless it's something likely to have a really deleterious effect on the area that people could oppose.

We will send this to the UHNA Steering Committee members before January 23 meeting before I recommend approving the applications on behalf of UHNA.

1. An LRB application for Affordable Spirits at 1151 Chattahoochee Ave in Underwood Hills. This site does not meet the distance requirements, but we endorsed a waiver for it in March 2017 when the proposed business was to be a boutique liquor store called "Poetic Spirits". Our condition on that, which was later attached to the enabling legislation, was that the business on the site must derive at least 90% of its revenue from liquor, beer, and wine because we did not want another convenience store. The proposed business appears to meet that requirement. This will be on our agenda this month.
2. An LRB change of agent  request for Dashmart at 1360 Seaboard Industrial Blvd in Underwood Hills. We just approved a new business application for them in August, so I guess they have a lot of employee turnover. This will be on our agenda this month.
3. A special event called Mental Awakening 2023 at 1611 Ellsworth Industrial Blvd at Steady Hand Brewery in Blandtown (across the street from Top Golf) on April 1st. I don't know much about this, but it will be a voting item for us, which probably means alcohol. This will be on our agenda this month.
