Underwood Hills Neighborhood Association

Jul 2025

The​ Collier Road survey with 2 – 10% concepts for Collier Road redevelopment is available for the community to evaluate and provide feedback.
One concept includes a multiuse path predominantly on the north side of the street and the other on the south side. There are additional safety and vehicular improvements included in the concept as well. 

The survey will be available for 2 weeks and will inform which elements of the two concepts we’ll be advancing into a 30% concept. 
 
We’re looking for a new Playgroup Coordinator and we’re open to having Co-Chairs to share the role and make it easier!
The best part? You don’t have to attend every week. The main responsibility is just to make sure there’s a parent volunteer each week who can:
  • Hang up the Playgroup sign
  • Set out snacks and drinks
That’s it! If you’re organized and like bringing people together, this could be a great fit. Let us know if you’re interested or have questions!

We will have popsicles to help everyone stay cool while they play.
We can’t wait to see you there

This November, Atlanta voters will head to the polls to vote for Mayor, City Council President, City Council, four School Board seats, Municipal Court Judges, and two Public Service Commissioners. This is a critical year for local leadership — and for the communities organizing to shape it.
The 
Center for Civic Innovation is inviting interested parties to help get organized;

Please join us on July 31st at 6PM for a meeting with organizers, neighborhood leaders, and civic organizations committed to local change. We’ll come together to:
  • Present findings from our new Voter Analysis Report, showing in-depth analysis on who did and didn’t vote in Atlanta’s 2021 municipal elections 
  • Make space for organizations to share how they’ll be engaging around the local elections and how other folks can plug in and support
  • Share voter education resources, such as new district maps and CCI’s “Find my district” tool to use during resident outreach
  • Strategize around increasing voter turnout and civic engagement across neighborhoods and demographics
This will be a working session: a space to brainstorm, connect, and build a shared roadmap for engaging voters and making sure every community’s voice is heard this fall. RSVP here.

If you need any further information, please feel free to contact my colleagues Evan Matthews at evan@civicatlanta.org or Clara Totenberg Green at clara@civicatlanta.org.
