Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 6:30 pm - 8 pm
Old Council Chambers, Atlanta City Hall
55 Trinity Avenue, Atlanta
Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell, Councilman Michael Julian Bond and Public Works Commissioner Richard Mendoza will participate in a panel discussion moderated by PEDS President & CEO Sally Flocks. We'll include time for questions from the audience.
Your presence will let City Council members know that voters want the City to make sidewalk maintenance a priority.
People attending the Atlanta Streets Alive event last month showed their support for safer sidewalks by creating a petition composed of 180 signed footprints.
A week later, volunteers helped us present the banner at an Atlanta City Council meeting.
Help keep up the momentum for policy change that enables the City to address the estimated $152 million backlog of broken sidewalks and missing or broken curb ramps. Please participate in the forum and ask your friends and neighbors to do so as well.
PEDS thanks Pam Aerts, Matt and Marilyn Bolch, Danae McBurney, Melany Chambers, Matt Monroe, Angus, Ewan and Beatrice Pritchard and Melanie Turner for your help at Atlanta Streets Alive, and to Joann Awada, Amanda Fox, Saul Kaplan, Lisa Safstrom and Carole Willis for holding up the banner at Atlanta City Hall!
