‼️Decatur street safety: deadline Feb 10‼️
GA DoT has proposed two projects to improve street safety and usability along College Ave/Avondale Rd. These would extend the "complete streets" project currently under construction in Avondale Estates. The improved streets would extend from downtown Decatur to the Kensington MARTA station, where there is a huge Transit Oriented Development underway. DoT is soliciting community feedback until tomorrow. You can provide comments to GDoT here:

The Avondale Estates farmers market is still happening in the winter. Today's hours are 11AM-2PM.

Tomorrow (Sunday Sept 29) is moving day for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - ambulances will be driving sick kids to their new building on N. Druid Hills Road. Please avoid driving on that route (described below) if possible, starting at 7:30 AM.
“Children’s is asking for the public’s help by yielding to ambulances along the move route from Egleston Hospital to Arthur M. Blank Hospital on Move Day. The route includes Uppergate Drive to Starvine to Clairmont Rd to 1-85 Frontage Road. Approximately 30 patients from the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Scottish Rite Hospital will move to Arthur M. Blank Hospital. They will travel from Meridian Mark to Johnson Ferry Road to Peachtree Dunwoody Road to GA-400 to I-85N to Arthur M. Blank Hospital.”
Emory faculty will be holding a vote on "confidence" in the university's president and his handling of the protests last week.

From IRC Atlanta:
"Please plan to visit Refuge Coffee Co. in Clarkston this Saturday, March 9, between 10am and 2pm for a Small Business Pop-Up event and support local refugee and immigrant business owners who are currently enrolled in the IRC in Atlanta's Microenterprise Development (MED) program. Taste a variety of traditional ethnic foods and peruse unique handmade products while you enjoy delicious coffee! "
I've got other plans this weekend, but hope I'll make the next one.
We're still trying to get the state of Georgia to stop glorifying the Confederacy and it's leaders.

I encountered this neat #CitizenScience thing on my #run today that lets you help monitor natural environments. A bracket is set up facing an area to monitor. Passers-by put their smartphone in the bracket and shoot a photo, and then email it to the address provided. It is then incorporated into a #timelapse. Can be used to track #erosion or #InvasiveSpecies of plants or whatever. Very cool. #DekalbCountyGA #DekalbGA #MasonMillPark #Chronolog #SeenOnMyRun https://www.chronolog.io/site/MMP103

OK--good news! #DeKalbGA opened 24-hour warming centers at 3 county rec centers. No warming centers necessary at church. Discouraging that the planning was so late in coming, but I'm grateful. #homelessness
Should we open the church on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as a daytime warming shelter? #DeKalbGA has only committed to night time shelters.
