Below are selected questions and some answers from my personal perspective; staff and others will be on hand to correct me if my links were off base (I do this late at night).  I am sure the staff is researching each question raised in advance and the Mayor will have more complete information on Tuesday Night.  Please raise your questions on the www.connectdunwoody.com website and then come out to the town hall on Tuesday to share your priorities with the Mayor and other elected officials.

Thank you for continuing to add sidewalks and bike lanes giving us options other than driving. What is being done to police our cross walks (particularly Mt Vernon @ Stratham) , add additional crosswalks, and keep drivers out of bike lanes? Enforcement, driver education efforts, and additional signage (stop for pedestrians, bike lane, etc.) are needed. Also, what is the final plan for bike lanes on Tilly Mill just North of North Peachtree. It would be significant missed opportunity not to include them as we redo that section.

• City of Dunwoody will be upgrading Tilly Mill from N Peachtree to Womack with Sidewalks, Bike Lanes and Paving.

Would the city council be interested in having a Statement of Purpose, similar to what most organizations and businesses have? Something like: "The purpose of the City Council of Dunwoody is to preserve and improve the property value of the residents of the City of Dunwoody" If every decision the Council had to make were subject to this or a similar statement of purpose the Council would be fulfilling their obligation to the voting citizenry, but maybe not to the Chamber of Commerce.

•  City of Dunwoody - Mission, Vision and Values 

  The city of Peachtree Corners, very quickly after incorporation, invested in their land closest to District 3 along Winters Chapel Road. This area has a lot of pedestrian activity, yet has very few pedestrian amenities such as protected crosswalks and signals, bike lanes, benches, parks and landscaping.   What plans does the city have to either partner with Peachtree Corners or to independently improve "our side" of Winters Chapel Road in terms of aesthetics and safety?

• Approval of a Contract for Design of Winters Chapel Multiuse Trail

• Winters Chapel Road at Peeler Road

The tragic death of a friend June 25th prompts me to ask that you please explain why it took over 20 minutes for a transport to to reach her home in Dunwoody Club Forest. She was injured and lying unconscious in her yard. What is being done to assure proper service to all areas of Dunwoody? The city is not receiving requests for this discussion because most of us never have to call 911 for fire or medical transport. Most do not know there are areas of Dunwoody that do not meet the national safety standard.

• City of Dunwoody is actively in discussions with DeKalb Fire exploring Opticom Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) to be installed for vehicles serving our community.  The system communicates with signalized intersections to activate a green light in order to give priority to and allow passage of an approaching emergency vehicle.  According to Opticom marketing materials, this system will reduce intersection crash rates by up to 70%, and reduce response times by up to 25%.

I would like an update on the plans to construct the Live, Work , entertain community in Dunwoody Village at the coroner of Mt. Vernon Rd. and Dunwoody Village Parkway.

• 79 town homes approved in Feb - staff should have an update.
