One casualty of the recent storm was the Playground. A large tree crushed part of the equipment. Quick action by the Some Lovely Neighbors! (not the City) removed the tree. Now comes arranging repairs. UHNA Beautification Chair Seaver Lippit available for queries. Molly Ryan with Friends of Underwood Hills Park is coordinating the equipment supplier Playground Creations for a swift resolution. They have inspected and will determine a plan for restoration this week.

While all eyes are on the presidential election, there's another race on the ballot this November in Atlanta - City Council Post 3 At-Large. Please join us and a number of leading community organizations in Atlanta this Thursday, October 3 at 6:00pm at the IBEW Building for Atlanta City Council Post 3 At-Large Forum. RSVP HERE At the heart of everything the Center for Civic Innovation does is a belief that local politics matter. The policies and decisions that are made on a local level - whether in City Hall or at neighborhood meetings - have an outsized impact on the day-to-day lives of Atlantans. And yet despite this, the elections that decide who will fill critical leadership roles in this city have woefully low turn-out. CCI is on a mission to change that. For ten years, we have hosted programming during election seasons (which, as Georgians know, is year-round) to bring attention to candidates and their platforms for the future of the city.   From UHNA Traffic Chair Rob Wheeler;
We had 65 responses! Awesome that so many people were willing to respond. As expected, the return of the “don’t block the box” was the winner of the survey. I had a call with Dusin Hills last week and he is working on having that returned as quickly as possible. We also discussed traffic calming in the area, and he is working with the submitting a traffic study for Ridgeway, which will occur in the next 90 days. Lastly we discussed pedestrian crossing in the Defoor Ave area, and we discussed that the Upper Westside CID is currently working on a large path connecting from Howell Mill that will include more sidewalks in the area. Dustin mentioned that the CID is going to provide more details soon. [email protected] Many thanks to all the block captains who responded to the call during our challenge with Tropical Storm Helene!!! Thanks especially to those neighbors who helped secure the site around the fallen tree in the Underwood Hills park.
Of course, we always hope that we will never need to deploy UHERO in a real emergency, but this was an occasion which reminded us that we need to be prepared for any eventuality. If you are interested in joining the UHERO team or signing up for family fire drills, I will be at the UHNA table at the Westside Stride this Sunday or you can contact me at [email protected]. Cynthia Williams From The Upper Westside CID; On October 6th, we'll be taking over Howell Mill Rd between Trabert Ave and 8th Street with a family-friendly festival. The event hours are 12PM-6PM but the street closure will happen between 9AM and 7PM. There will be no through traffic on Howell Mill Road but 10th Street and 8th Street will remain open. The Upper Westside CID invests a significant amount into making this event absolutely free to the community and we want to make sure everyone knows it's happening! This year we are adding a pumpkin patch, lots of inflatables, and even a petting zoo on top of several live music stages.  Several great course for those interested in understanding and participating in planning issues;
There have been reports of local businesses disturbing residents with loud music and machinery late at night and early morning. It's important to report such events to help document problems and give leverage to City authorities. First port of call us usually Zoning Enforcement 404.330.6175 Office of Buildings, Department of Planning.
For instance, there are restrictions on when machinery can be operated within 300 feet of residences, and hospitality venues must abide by the conditions of their liquor license or face losing it. Council representatives can also provide useful backup for getting action. More details on UHNA Resources page.
The upcoming E. Rivers Shivers 5K is: October 26, 2024 8:00am 8 Peachtree Battle Avenue Northwest Atlanta, GA US 30305 All race proceeds benefit the students through the E. Rivers PTA. Registration link and more information- https://runsignup.com/Race/GA/Atlanta/ERiversShivers5K  |
