We would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone in Peachtree Battle who contributed in showing support for us during these trying times...

From the Office of Council member J.P. Matzigkeit:

As you may already be aware, due to staff reductions from COVID-19, yard waste pick-ups are temporarily suspended.  We are working to get more information on how/when service will resume.  Below is a notice you may already have received. We thank you for your continued patience and apologize for this lack of service.

   

On July 23rd a group of PBA neighbors, organized by Charlotte Maguire, did a fabulous job pulling together a community outreach act of kindness with the Zone 2 lunch.  Thank you to all of you who contributed to this effort!  Check out the photos here...

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued a Press Release related to the closing of Northside Drive, between Peachtree Battle Avenue and Wesley Drive, for 90 days beginning on September 8, 2020 (weather and on-site conditions permitting). Click HERE for the full announcement.  

 
The city detour map can be found HERE and we are hoping for an update that will include signage at Sagamore and Peachtree Battle, which is lacking in this version.  Please take a look at the map.  Have additional concerns about it?  Let us know HERE.  

Lastly, Catherine Spillman of AMPC has been an amazing advocate for our neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods throughout this planning process.  If you see her around Memorial Park, be sure to tell her to keep up the great work and how much we appreciate her efforts.
 

Neighbors,
