Dunwoody Homeowners Association meeting Sunday night welcomes Dunwoody Police Chief Billy Grogan and others from city.


Dunwoody Homeowners Association Meeting
Sunday, December 3, 2017 @ 7:30 P.M.
North DeKalb Cultural Arts Center, Room 4
5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA 30338

Dunwoody Police Chief, Billy Grogan will give an update on the Dunwoody Police Department and Richard McLeod and James Lemoine (our new Code Enforcement officer) will talk about code enforcement in Dunwoody.  There will also be a discussion on forming a Dunwoody Farmers Market on Saturday mornings at Brook Run.  

I unfortunately will be missing the meeting because of another engagement but one topic that I hope he covers is the legality of possible enforcement of "No Thru Traffic" signs that are up in some subdivisions on pubic roads.  Because of congestion and/or construction between 285 & PIB, traffic along the top end may be guided onto surface streets via online traffic routing web services, in order to move faster than the main clogged arteries.  Because of this recent development, our neighborhood surface streets are now starting to resemble the interstate at rush hour whereby there is a line of cars 30 long in front of your home where you are just looking to pull out of the driveway.

Residents in my neighborhood were looking for relief from this cut thru issue along with more enforcement of speeding, stop sign violations and trucks also cutting thru.  I reached out to Chief Grogan to share the neighbors concerns and asked that he have the Dunwoody legal staff research the legality of enforcing the "No thru Traffic" on public streets as I personally see the issue as unenforceable.  I'm looking forward to the answer because if this item is legally allowed to move forward I would want to learn more as to probable cause for the stop and then as a community develop policies (ordinances) as to its use in order to protect our collective civil liberties.
