Last year a resident pointed out the need for this sidewalk so I proposed it to the budget committee, and now it is installed. (The little things that make me smile.)

Dunwoody's Windwood Hollow Park now has sidewalks connecting to Peeler.
Thank you to Dunwoody's Public Works and Parks Departments for installing this important connection piece for all Windwood Hollow park visitors. Dunwoody parents of small children, if you haven't visited this park, it is truly a hidden gem.

Dunwoody City Council finalizes Brook Run Park Construction for playing fields, bandshell, restrooms, pavilions and improved access. 10 Yr Celebration, Stacey Harris, Spring Break.
Happy Friday !!
After an extensive discussion and reviewing facts, the Dunwoody City Council approved the Brook Run Stream Buffer Variance on Monday finding that satisfactory stream protections were being put into place. The City has scheduled the groundbreaking for Brook Run Park construction for Tuesday, April 9th at 10 a.m. Next year at this time the City will have constructed two, lit artificial turf soccer/lacrosse fields, constructed three restroom facilities, a concession stand, a band shell with a great lawn, numerous new parking spaces and a new back entrance to the facility. Guessing the entertainment at Lemonade Days in 2020 will be moved up a notch when the new band shell will be there.
In other City news, the ribbon cutting for the new Pedestrian Bridge connecting Georgetown to Perimeter Center is scheduled for Wednesday, April 10 at 10 a.m. and the ribbon cutting for the new Windwood Hollow Park Restroom Facility is scheduled for Monday, April 15th at 10 a.m. Mayor Shortal is hosting the 2019 State of the City on Thursday, April 11th at 6:00 pm at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. In recognition of Earth Day, the City is hosting a stream cleanup event on April 13th, starting at 9 a.m. at the new bridge at Georgetown.
The Dunwoody Police Department is also holding an Open House on April 1st to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. On April 1, 2019, the Dunwoody Police Department will open their doors to the public from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. for a rare “behind-the-scenes” look at many areas otherwise restricted to the public. Visitors will be granted “back-door access” to a self-guided tour through our facilities as various Dunwoody Police and Court staff members will be on hand to answer questions or share a casual chat.
I was happy to see that my friend Stacey Harris will be running to fill the open City Council Seat being vacated by Terry Nall who has announced that he will be running for Mayor. If you haven't read this week's Crier, I recommend that you do, as I can attest that Stacey is extremely qualified for the position.
The City of Brookhaven looks to be throwing a huge party this weekend with the Cherry Blossom Festival providing lot's of free entertainment for young and old.
As it is Friday, All Saint's is still offering their weekly Fish Fry. All the food is great but the baked salmon, clam chowder, fried shrimp and the hush puppies are my personal favorites. Like alot of people, I'm a regular there but last week a friend came up to me and said that it was the first fish fry without Bob Lundsten being there. She recieved a big hug and I imagine our loss is only a sliver of what Kathy and the girls are going through.
Several neighbors reached out to me because they have recieved much larger than normal Water / Sewer bills from the County and it just so happened that today we recieved in the mail information on the the mass replacement of defective water meters. I hope these bills are settled fairly by the County.
DeKalb County School System will be out for Spring Break next week, so if you are going somewhere please drive safe and enjoy the destination. If you stay local, enjoy the lack of traffic and uncrowded restaurants and other facilities. If I was home with little ones, I think I might be using this LegoLand Discovery Center discount.
Lemonade Days starts less than four weeks away but it will be here before you know it.

Restrooms and other improvements planned for Dunwoody's Windwood Hollow Park
Windwood Hollow Park located just off Peeler Rd near the DeKalb Waterworks is a hidden gem of a park, offering a playground in a wooded setting, tennis courts and pavilion. The bids for new restrooms are on the street and I anticipate that this new amenity will be built within the next few months.
Upon reviewing the parks amenities with a resident it was pointed out that this park has no dedicated sidewalks into the facility whereby parents are forced to walk in the street with children especially when bicycles and strollers are involved. This morning I pointed out this fact out to the budget committee (Pam Tallmadge, Jim Riticher and myself) and we reallocated funds to correct this this item and/or plan for a large scale trail from Peeler through the park.
Overall the budget meeting this morning started at 9:30 and ended just before 2 p.m. whereby we went over every line item, asking questions and understanding Dunwoody financial position. We made a few minor tweaks improving pedestrian safety funding and set the ball into place for major park improvements. The full budget will be brought in front of the community within the next month and then it will be voted upon by the full council.

Located at 4865 Lakeside Drive, at 11-acres, Windwood Hollow Park features a playground, two tennis courts, picnic pavilion, nature trails, and an open meadow for free play.
