Thanks to an eagle-eyed neighbor and prompt action by UHNA Beautification Chair Seaver Lippit, graffiti at Woodland Hills Ave and Collier Road (reportedly the work of a Sumerian god worshiping cult) was dealt with…

CHARRS is running a Repair Cafe event on June 29th. This will be a great event for local community members to attend. I hope that you can help spread the word to locals. The event flier is attached with more details.

Thank you!

Courtesy BCN Chair Debra Wathen,  some disturbing but important information regarding tree canopy loss from deLille Anthony with the Tree Next Door.  
Please look it over and share it with your neighborhood board and concerned neighbors. Atlanta has such a significant portion of the tree canopy that it is of utmost importance that we protect our trees.  
​After all, they do produce oxygen!
The 3rd chart compares the three quarters after the most recent changes in the Tree Ordinance were implemented in April 2023 with the same three quarters in 2022.  Clearly, the changes made in Phase 1 of the Tree Ordinance didn’t help slow the rate of tree loss.
The Tree Next Door recently published their analysis of the City’s tree loss data through the end of 2023.  The data from 2014 to 2023 shows that the loss of healthy trees, both legally permitted and illegally removed, has more than doubled since 2020.  Before 2020, we were still losing thousands of trees each year, but the loss rate wasn’t growing as fast. 

Don’t wait until someone starts doing something you don’t like, comment now!
​No point complaining after the code is written :-/

Three major upcoming Atlanta events in June are anticipated to cause substantial transportation delays. Plan on having employees work from home.
Affected dates: June 19, 20, 26 and especially 27.

Copa America Atlanta: On June 20 and 27, an anticipated 50,000 soccer fans will attend the Copa America Atlanta soccer matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. In addition to the large number of visitors staying in Buckhead, one team will be lodging in Buckhead during both games, leading to increased traffic congestion. These are considered major events, with both Atlanta Police Department and MARTA Police working 12-hour shifts, potentially affecting the availability of off-duty traffic officers in Buckhead during peak travel times.

2024 US Presidential Debate: On June 27, both political party candidates will be attending the first Presidential debate at CNN Studios in Midtown. Rolling roadblocks, road closures and considerably increased security are anticipated leading to extensive traffic delays and congestion.

Solutions: Livable Buckhead is highly encouraging Buckhead employers to scale back in-person attendance to essential personnel only, as both the transit and road systems will have very high usage, leading to considerable congestion.
Please plan on having employees work from home on June 19, 20, 26 and specifically 27. ​

​In the last 2-week period (May 18 – 31), 61 incidents were reported in Beat 204.  Of those, none occurred in the area we patrol.  A summary of activity reported in the surrounding area:
