Traffic Alert for Dunwoody Village Area
Dunwoody Arts Festival is this Saturday-Sunday, May 10-11
in Dunwoody Village. Chamblee-Dunwoody Road will be closed to through
traffic from Mt. Vernon Road and the area near Publix and Mellow
Mushroom. Through traffic will be diverted onto Dunwoody Village
Parkway, which is under construction. If you're in the area, please
drive carefully along Dunwoody Village Parkway or make alternative
travel arrangements.
Summer Paving Approved
City Council approved the initial contract for 2014 paving. The streets include:
Bourdeau Court from Verdon Drive to End
Chamblee-Dunwoody Road (patching only) from Cotillion Drive to Cambridge Drive
Chamblee-Dunwoody Road (crack sealing as needed) from Roberts Drive to Spalding Drive
Cherring Drive from Peeler Road to Tilly Mill Road
Cherring Lane from Peeler Road to Cherring Drive
Front Royal Court from Luray Drive to End
Luray Court from Luray Drive to End
Perimeter Center Place from Perimeter Center West to Meadow Lane Road
Tamassee Court from North Peachtree Road to End
Verdon Court from Verdon Drive to End
Vermack Ridge from Vermack Road to End
The above list is only an
initial start for paving. We have other streets scheduled for paving
this year, once DeKalb County completes its water pipe replacement.
Pedestrian Safety Action Plan
The study looked at all of the existing crosswalks in the city that are not already
protected by a stop sign or traffic signal and a few potential new
locations. The city also met with "Safe Routes to School"
representatives at each elementary school. The report summarizes the
findings and provides a prioritized list of recommendations to improve
pedestrian safety at these unprotected crossings.
Some of the recommendations
can be implemented through the city's normal maintenance budget. For
the higher cost improvements, our intent is to seek capital funding and
will be discussed at the June 9 City Council meeting. I
fully support the pedestrian safety improvements, as public safety (in
its many forms) is one of the reasons we exist as a city.
Demolition Underway at Brook Run Park
The demolition of the unused
one-story administration building near the front gate of Brook Run Park
is currently underway. The broken tennis courts will also be removed
as part of this demolition and the pervious surface will be restored.
Please be careful in these areas of Brook Run Park.
