District 8 News & Reminders
Even amid a pandemic, there’s city business to be done.
We’re nearing a decision on who will operate Atlanta’s five tennis centers. We tweaked our Tree Trust Fund to ensure our city’s magnificent canopy grows and that dollars are spent wisely. One of our District 8 neighborhoods won an important battle to preserve its historic status. We also got an answer on golfers and others sharing the North Fulton course at Chastain: it will be golf all the time.
In as unusual a summer as many of us have known, crime statistics and human behavior reflect our unsettled times. On a positive note, Airbnb has cracked down on party houses--an issue we dealt with what seems an eternity ago.
As always, we remain grateful for your interest and involvement in what makes our great city tick.
Some quick reminders: Continue to pay attention and participate this political season. It may be the most important and exciting of our lives. Don’t forget to get a flu shot. You’ll be glad you did. Please note that trash collection will be on a one-day-delay the week of Labor Day, September 7. And remember the 90-day closure of Northside Drive over Peachtree Creek (near Bobby Jones Golf Course) begins this month, as the state replaces an aging bridge.
