The City
of Atlanta tells us that the improvement
under way will go from Wellbourne to 2100
Cheshire Bridge Road which is the block just
north of the bridge over the creek where the
Red Snapper restaurant is located. The
project is expected to take 75 days,
depending on the weather, so with any luck,
it should be complete sometime in February.
Regrettably, no landscaping or lighting is
so far planned for this part of Cheshire
Bridge, so your LLCC will be lobbying hard
to have them included to match the southern
section of Cheshire Bridge. The project is
being funded by Transportation Impact Fees
(TIF) whose funds are limited.
The City'
goals are to "beautify arterials and improve
connectivity and pedestrian safety." They
want us to know that they appreciate the
efforts of the community who work to
maintain cleanliness of our sidewalk areas
by clearing debris and trimming overgrowth
that abuts our individual properties. They
request that, while construction continues,
travelers should use caution, and observe
posted work signs and extra traffic
regulations in the area. A word of praise
here for Sarah Hailey, and now Jennifer
Jones, and their crews who, through their
monthly Litter Pick-Ups, do much to
supplement what individual homeowners and
businesses undertake to keep our community
clean.
